Cash and equivalents fell 57.6% to $409M following $900M in share buybacks and $287.2M in dividends. With current liabilities of $1.50B and a current ratio of only 1.07, the company's short-term liquidity buffer is thin and leaves limited room for unexpected cash needs.
Source: 10-K Balance Sheet & Cash Flow Statement
Cost of revenue grew 3.4% versus revenue growth of 1.6%, compressing gross margin by ~95 basis points to 44.7%. Sustained input cost inflation or adverse product mix could further erode profitability if pricing power is insufficient to offset these pressures.

Total liabilities increased 8.6% to $4.91B while stockholders' equity declined 8.2% to $4.00B, pushing the debt-to-equity ratio to 1.23. Long-term debt remained essentially flat at $2.21B, but the deteriorating equity base increases financial leverage risk.

SG&A expenses grew 6.5% to $988.3M, outpacing revenue growth of 1.6%, which could signal structural cost creep in marketing or administrative functions. If this trend continues without commensurate revenue acceleration, it could weigh on future operating margins.

Investing cash outflows surged to -$616.9M from -$183.3M in the prior year, a 236.6% increase, suggesting significant capital expenditure or acquisition activity. Combined with the large financing outflows, this has materially reduced the company's cash position.
