I think that math is off, frankly.
It's more like the absolute BD revenue going up 66.3%, ending being 4% of the total absolute revenue. The final 4% figure depends on the total market, while the increase doesn't. Same for the DD numbers.
Plus, increases are always calculated from the previous time point, thus it's something like: BD new value= 166.3% * old value
Still, you're right that in absolute terms BD slightly edged out DD when it comes to revenue increase: about $64.2M vs about $64M.
