What drove EPS

A buyback raises earnings per share without the company earning more. This splits each year's change into the two.

FY22
−52.1% = −53.7% + 3.5%
FY23
−59.1% = −60.0% + 2.4%
FY24
143.5% = 145.6% + −0.9%
FY25
−52.5% = −52.6% + 0.3%
Earnings Fewer shares More shares

The two parts do not sum exactly to the total — the difference is the cross-term, plus preferred capital where the company has any. It is left visible rather than distributed into the other two.

Share count is the denominator the filer used for diluted EPS, recovered as net income ÷ EPS — not the balance-sheet count, which is a point-in-time figure and would put the timing difference into this split. Years with a loss are omitted: a smaller share count makes a loss per share larger, so the decomposition inverts.
