| Region | FY2025 | FY2024 | FY2023 |

As the company reported it, from the “Segment Information - Sales and Long-lived Assets by 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
- Proprietary Products
- Contract-Manufactured Products
| Segment | FY2025 | FY2024 | FY2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Proprietary Products | $2.49B | $2.33B | $2.40B |
| Contract-Manufactured Products | $582.0M | $558.7M | $552.5M |
As the company reported it, from the “Segment Information - Sales by Product Group (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”.
