Total Revenue

+57% (Q1 2025: $315.1M vs. Q1 2024: $200.1M)

Strong revenue growth driven by an expanded market presence, particularly in Asia Pacific ($122.65M) and Europe ($72.06M), which now account for roughly 62% of the overall revenue. This expansion marks a significant improvement over the previous period’s geographic revenue mix, indicating successful market penetration and customer acquisition efforts. " " " " "

Operating Cash Flow

+139% (Q1 2025: $154,809K vs. Q1 2024: $64,661K)

The substantial increase in Operating Cash Flow reflects both the dramatic revenue growth and improved operational efficiency over the prior period.

Income Before Taxes

+48% (Q1 2025: $52,000K vs. Q1 2024: $35,041K)

The growth in Income Before Taxes is primarily a result of the increased revenue base and enhanced operational performance. The improvement from $35,041K to $52,000K indicates that higher revenues have been partly translated into better profitability margins compared to the previous period. " "

Interest Expense

+23% (Q1 2025: $14,900K vs. Q1 2024: $12,146K)

Interest Expense rose as a likely consequence of increased debt levels or adjustments in financing terms, which were lower in the previous period. This increment, moving from $12,146K to $14,900K, suggests that financing costs have grown, likely due to strategic borrowing decisions aimed at supporting the expanded operations. " "

Restructuring Expense

Newly reported at $4,500K in Q1 2025
