Over the past three fiscal years, the company has demonstrated a steady revenue growth, achieving a 4.2% CAGR, with revenue increasing from $5.64 billion in 2023 to $6.12 billion in 2025. Despite this growth, profitability metrics have shown mixed results. The gross margin consistently decreased by 4.1pp, from 43.3% to 39.2%, indicating potential cost pressures or pricing challenges. However, the operating margin showed a slight improvement of 0.4pp, ending at 18.8%, suggesting some operational efficiencies. Net margin, on the other hand, decreased by 1.1pp to 14.6%, which may reflect increased financial or tax expenses. Cash generation has been robust, with operating cash flow growing at a 19.4% CAGR and free cash flow at a 22.0% CAGR, reaching $1.19 billion and $1.07 billion, respectively, by 2025. This strong cash performance is underscored by an improved free cash flow margin, which increased by 4.8pp to 17.6%. The company's net debt position decreased from $2.60 billion to $2.29 billion, reflecting a strategic focus on debt reduction. Additionally, the asset turnover ratio improved, indicating enhanced capital efficiency. Despite these positive cash and efficiency trends, the return on invested capital consistently decreased, ending at 7.4%, which could signal challenges in generating returns from new investments. Overall, the company has maintained solid liquidity and interest coverage, with the latest interest coverage ratio at 19.4x, suggesting a strong ability to meet its debt obligations.
