The company generates $307.9M in free cash flow annually, which funds everything from R&D to shareholder returns without needing external financing. ROE of 27.1% points to strong capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. Return on assets of 13.5% further supports the picture of efficient asset utilization. Revenue has been uneven over recent years, ranging from $2.14B to $2.53B.
