Analysis

Operating income of $70.5M in FY2012 (a 2.2% margin) turned into a $66.2M operating loss in FY2014 (-2.0%), before recovering to $92.9M (2.3%) in FY2019, the strongest year on record. It then slipped to a near-breakeven $1.8M loss in FY2020 and a modest $22.8M profit (0.6% margin) in FY2021.

Net income followed the same pattern, moving from $30.3M in FY2012 to a $90.8M loss in FY2014, a $56.6M high in FY2019, and back down to a $7.9M loss in FY2020 before a thin $1.1M profit in FY2021.
