Improving Leverage / Balance SheetLeverage has meaningfully improved (debt/equity ~0.53 in 2025 vs ~0.61 in 2024 and 0.86–0.98 in 2022–23) while shareholders' equity expanded. This de‑risking enhances financial flexibility, reduces interest burden and supports durable capital allocation through cycles.
Improving Profitability / MarginsGross and net margins improved in 2025, with EBIT/EBITDA margins stepping up and net income growth steady from 2020–2025. Sustained margin expansion signals operational efficiency and pricing power that support long‑term earnings resilience and reinvestment capacity.
High Free Cash Flow ConversionConsistent FCF conversion near 91–99% over multiple years indicates high earnings quality and persistent cash generation. Over the medium term this underpins the company's ability to fund dividends, pay down debt and invest without relying on volatile revenue timing.
