Over the past three fiscal years, the company has experienced mixed performance across various financial metrics. Revenue showed an inconsistent growth pattern, increasing at a modest CAGR of 3.2% from $12.15 billion in 2023 to $12.95 billion in 2025. Despite this revenue growth, earnings per share (EPS) declined significantly, with a CAGR of -16.1%, dropping from $5.55 to $3.91, indicating potential challenges in cost management or increased expenses. Gross margin compressed by 14.0pp, falling from 43.9% to 29.9%, which suggests rising costs or pricing pressures. However, operating margin improved slightly by 2.0pp to 23.6%, reflecting some operational efficiencies. Cash flow from operations consistently increased, reaching $5.15 billion in 2025, but free cash flow (FCF) deteriorated further into negative territory, with FCF margin declining by 18.1pp to -21.6%, highlighting significant capital expenditures or other cash outflows. The company's net debt increased consistently, reaching $30.89 billion, which, coupled with a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 5.03x, indicates a high leverage position. Additionally, the share count increased by 5.5%, leading to dilution and partially offsetting per-share gains. Liquidity remains a concern, with both current and quick ratios below 1, and interest coverage is thin at 2.7x, underscoring potential financial vulnerability. Overall, while there are signs of operational improvement, the company's financial health is challenged by declining margins, negative FCF, and increased leverage.
