The long view — FY2018 to FY2025
Diluted shares outstanding changed ~49.7× in FY2024 (28M in FY2023 → 1,377M in FY2024): a stock split or another change to the share base; per-share figures before and after are not comparable.
| Fiscal year | Revenue | YoY | Gross margin | Op margin | Net income | Free cash flow | FCF margin | ROIC | EPS (GAAP, diluted)As filed with the SEC under GAAP, per diluted share. Street consensus, and the actual it is compared with in the prints table, is on the analysts' adjusted basis (stock-based compensation, amortisation and one-offs stripped), so the two can differ: a Street beat can sit beside a GAAP decline. | Diluted shares | Net debt | First filed |
