Revenue exhibits a consistent long-term upward trajectory characterized by pronounced quarterly seasonality. A recurring pattern is observed where the fourth quarter of each fiscal year produces the highest revenue peak, followed by a typical contraction in the first quarter of the subsequent year. Over the period from March 31, 2021, to March 31, 2026, revenue grew from 219.8 million to 688.8 million, with the highest single-quarter performance occurring in December 2025 at 846.8 million.

Gross Profitability and Cost of Revenue
Platform operations costs have increased in absolute terms alongside revenue growth, rising from 50.5 million in March 2021 to 181.9 million in March 2026. Despite this increase, gross profit has scaled proportionally, expanding from 169.3 million to 506.8 million over the same period. This suggests a stable gross margin profile capable of supporting significant volume expansion.
Operating Expense Trends
Sales and marketing expenses show a steady increase, rising from 55.7 million in March 2021 to 172.1 million in March 2026. Technology and development costs followed a similar trajectory, increasing from 53.9 million to 142.7 million. General and administrative expenses remained relatively stable throughout most of the period, hovering between 120 million and 140 million, with the notable exception of a significant spike to 218.7 million in December 2021.
Operating Income and Scalability
Income from operations transitioned from a period of volatility and intermittent losses between 2021 and early 2023 to a phase of sustained and accelerating growth. Operating income rose from 7.7 million in March 2021 to 66.6 million in March 2026, peaking at 256.8 million in December 2025. The widening gap between revenue growth and operating expense growth indicates improving operational leverage.
Net Income and Bottom-Line Performance
Net income displays a strong growth trend, mirroring the operational improvements. While early periods saw fluctuations, including losses in early 2022, the trend shifted toward consistent profitability. Net income reached a peak of 186.9 million in December 2025. The results are further supported by a positive trend in interest income and other income, which became more significant contributors to the pre-tax income starting in 2022.
