This page lays out the filed figures by year and nothing more. Financial statements do not say why the numbers moved, so neither do we.
The order of publication follows revenue in the latest fiscal year and has nothing to do with the content.
To check the same figures, search for the company on DART and open the consolidated financial statements in its annual reports. Every number here was computed from the 2020–2025 annual reports and the interim report downloaded through the OpenDART API on 2026-10-07; ratios divide the filed account amounts.
