KIRA summarises the numbers
KB Financial Group Inc. had $12.1B of revenue in fiscal 2025, down 1.2% on the year before.
Over five years, revenue changed +2.7% a year on average.
Revenue
Net interest income share and efficiency ratio
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).
Loss periods are shown in red.
KIRA summarises the numbers
KB Financial Group Inc. made $4.1B of net profit in fiscal 2025.
From fiscal 2016 to 2025, diluted EPS grew 9.4% a year.
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.
How much cash comes in, and where does it go?
KIRA summarises the numbers
KB Financial Group Inc. returned $2.0B to shareholders in fiscal 2025, 71% of free cash flow.
The diluted share count fell 3.8%.
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).
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.

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.
Can it carry its debts, and how well does it use its money?
Loans, deposits and capital at each fiscal year end.
Loans and deposits
| Fiscal year end | FY21 | FY22 | FY23 | FY24 | FY25 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deposits | $313.0B | $312.6B | $313.3B | $295.4B | $320.2B |
| Total assets | $558.5B | $568.0B | $551.6B | $513.9B | $552.5B |
| Shareholders' equity | $39.9B | $41.9B | $43.7B | $39.3B | $40.9B |
| Goodwill | $678M | $671M | $668M | $593M | $439M |
In plain words: What the company owns and what it owes. More cash than debt is a cushion for bad times; a lot of debt leaves less room when business slows down.
For banks, return on equity and the efficiency ratio (costs as a share of revenue) say most about how well the business runs.
KIRA summarises the numbers
It earned 10.2% on shareholders’ money.
Return on equity, return on tangible equity and efficiency ratio
In plain words: Return on equity is the profit made on shareholders’ money each year. The efficiency ratio is how much of each dollar of revenue goes on running costs, so lower is better.
