From SEC filings: the results press release (8-K) or, without one, the quarterly or annual report.
KIRA Β· LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. had $1.8B of revenue in fiscal 2025, down 7.3% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed +1.6% a year on average.
In plain words: Revenue is all the money customers paid. The margins show how many cents of each dollar of sales are left over at each step: after making the product (gross), after running the business (operating) and after everything, tax included (net).

KIRA Β· LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. made $233M of net profit in fiscal 2025.
Loss periods are shown in red.
In plain words: Net income is the profit left after every cost and tax. Earnings per share (EPS) splits that profit across every share, so it shows what one share earned.

How much cash comes in, and where does it go?
KIRA Β· Free cash flow was $454M in fiscal 2025, 24.8% of revenue.
Cash from operations minus capital spending.
In plain words: Profit on paper is not the same as cash in the bank. Free cash flow is the cash left after paying to run and maintain the business: the money it can hand back to shareholders, save or invest.

KIRA Β· LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. returned $81.4M to shareholders in fiscal 2025, 18% of free cash flow. The diluted share count rose 4.7%.

KIRA Β· No open-market insider trades in the last 12 months.
Open-market purchases and sales by officers, directors and 10% owners, from Form 4 filings. βPlanβ marks trades under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 plan.
In plain words: Insiders are the people who run or own a big part of the company. Buying with their own money can signal confidence; selling often has personal reasons, like taxes or diversifying.
