Revenue by geography

  • United States
  • Non-US
Revenue by geography, 2 categories over 2 years. The same figures are in the table below. FY2025 United States, FY2025: 57.8M (79.1%) 79% United States Non-US, FY2025: 15.2M (20.9%) 21% Non-US FY2024 United States, FY2024: 52.4M (78.5%) 79% Non-US, FY2024: 14.3M (21.5%) 21%
Region FY2025FY2024
United States $57.8M $52.4M
Non-US $15.2M $14.3M

As the company reported it, from the “Note 12 - Revenue Recognition - Schedule of Revenue from External Customers 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”.
