The WWT and SWT segments together accounted for 84.98% of consolidated revenue from operations in fiscal 2026, and revenue directly or indirectly attributable to government entities or tenders was 92.35% of WWT segment revenue that year. The top 10 customers contributed 64.44% of revenue from operations in fiscal 2026 and 79.20% in the June 2026 quarter.
