Annual free cash flow of $2.14B supports ongoing capital allocation decisions and provides a cushion against unexpected expenses or downturns. ROE of 29.9% points to strong capital efficiency, indicating how much profit the company produces per dollar of shareholder equity. An ROA of 6.6% suggests reasonable efficiency in deploying the company's asset base. Revenue has grown from $19.70B (2022) to $25.20B (2025), reflecting a 28% increase over the period.
