Over the past three fiscal years, the company experienced a consistent decline in revenue, with a CAGR of -3.7%, dropping from $13.99 billion in 2023 to $12.98 billion in 2025. Despite this revenue decline, the company saw an inconsistent yet significant increase in EPS, which grew at a CAGR of 27.8%, rising from $0.87 to $1.42. This suggests that the company managed to enhance its profitability on a per-share basis, possibly through cost management or operational efficiencies. However, the gross margin consistently decreased by 11.3pp, from 46.3% to 34.9%, indicating rising costs or pricing pressures. Operating margin also showed inconsistency, decreasing by 11.2pp, yet net margin improved by 9.1pp, reaching 20.9%, suggesting that the company might have benefited from non-operating income or tax efficiencies. Cash flow from operations increased at a CAGR of 8.2%, reaching $7.19 billion, but free cash flow turned negative in 2025, dropping from $854 million in 2023 to -$782 million, reflecting potential challenges in capital expenditure or working capital management. The company's net debt increased consistently, rising from $4.76 billion to $8.01 billion, which could indicate increased borrowing or reduced cash reserves. Despite these challenges, the interest coverage ratio improved significantly, reaching 350.5x, indicating strong ability to meet interest obligations. The company's cash conversion ratio of 2.65 suggests that earnings are largely backed by actual cash, although the negative free cash flow margin of -6.0% in 2025 highlights cash generation issues. Overall, while the company improved its per-share profitability, it faces challenges in revenue growth and cash flow management.
