Valuation FY2025 figures against the last close
Where the revenue comes from as reported in the latest 10-K
Revenue by geography
- U.S.
- Canada
- Europe/Other
| Region | FY2025 | FY2024 | FY2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| U.S. | $1.71B | $1.47B | $1.34B |
| Canada | $297.6M | $257.4M | $237.8M |
| Europe/Other | $170.6M | $135.0M | $147.5M |
As the company reported it, from the “Segment Information - Segment Information Classified Based on Geographic Location (Details)” note of its latest 10-K. Every figure here has been checked against the total revenue the same filing reported. Regions are the filer's own and are not mapped onto a standard list — one company's “Americas” and another's “United States” are different areas, and making them look comparable would mean making at least one of them wrong. Slices under 1% are folded into “Other”.
Revenue by segment
- Environmental Solutions
- Safety And Security Systems
| Segment | FY2025 | FY2024 | FY2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Environmental Solutions | $1.84B | $1.56B | $1.44B |
| Safety And Security Systems | $343.0M | $304.4M | $284.8M |
As the company reported it, from the “Segment Information - Summary of Continuing Operations by Segment (Details)” note of its latest 10-K. Every figure here has been checked against the total revenue the same filing reported. Segments are the filer's own reporting structure, which is a decision about how it runs itself rather than a standard taxonomy: two companies in the same industry routinely divide themselves along different lines, so these are worth reading down a single company rather than across two. Slices under 1% are folded into “Other”.
