Slide the table for earlier years · "·" marks a figure not available in our data for that year.
Growth
Revenue compounded at −2.9% a year over the five years to FY2025 — but profit grew faster: net income at +8.4%, earnings per share at +9.6%.
Compound annual rates per period — left blank where that exact year isn't on file, the series crosses a loss, or (per-share rows) a split falls inside the window.
Profitability
Each USD of equity produced 28 cents of profit this year.
The 18-year record
EPS, diluted, dividend per share and shares outstanding are shown without shading, and a vertical line marks the year the share count changed — the series crosses a large, unexplained change in share count, so the years on either side are not on a comparable scale.
