Valuation FY2025 figures against the last close
Where the revenue comes from as reported in the latest 10-K
Revenue by geography
- United States
- International
| Region | FY2025 | FY2024 | FY2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | $1.78B | $1.70B | $1.34B |
| International | $842.2M | $687.3M | $570.1M |
As the company reported it, from the “SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION - Revenue and Assets by Geographical Areas (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”.
