Revenue and margins
KIRA summarises the numbers
-
Hesai Group had $421M of revenue in fiscal 2025, up 45.9% on the year before.
Over five years, revenue changed +47.6% a year on average.
-
Its operating margin was 5.6%, up 15.4 pts: of every 100 in sales, about 6 is left after running the business.
Revenue
Margins, % of revenue
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).
Net income
Net income and earnings per share
Loss periods are shown in red.
KIRA summarises the numbers
-
Hesai Group made $60.6M of net profit in fiscal 2025.
Net income
Diluted EPS
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.
Cash flow
Cash flow
Cash from operations minus capital spending.
KIRA summarises the numbers
-
Free cash flow was −$26.8M in fiscal 2025, −6.4% of revenue.
At that burn of $26.8M a year, its $679M of cash and short-term investments would last about 25.4 years.
Free cash flow
Cash from operations vs 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.
Dividends and buybacks
Dividends, buybacks and share count
Dividends and buybacks
Diluted shares outstanding (annual)
In plain words: Companies hand cash back in two ways: dividends (cash paid to shareholders) and buybacks (buying back their own shares, so each remaining share owns a bigger slice).
Insider trades
Insider trades
Open-market purchases and sales by officers, directors and 10% owners, from Form 4 filings. “Plan” marks trades under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 plan.
KIRA summarises the numbers
-
No open-market insider trades in the last 12 months.

No open-market insider trades in the last 12 months.
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.

| Net debt (− = net cash) | — | −$267M | −$386M | −$381M | −$632M |
