Revenue
Revenue
Margins, % of 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
-
Viking Holdings Ltd made $1.1B of net profit in fiscal 2025.
Net income
Net income
Diluted EPS
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.
Free cash flow
Cash from operations vs capital spending
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.

KIRA summarises the numbers
-

The diluted share count rose 21.7%.
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).
