From SEC filings: the results press release (8-K) or, without one, the quarterly or annual report.
KIRA · Celestica Inc had $12.4B of revenue in fiscal 2025, up 28.5% on the year before. Its operating margin was 8.4%, up 2.2 pts: of every 100 in sales, about 8 is left after running the business.
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 · Celestica Inc made $833M of net profit in fiscal 2025. From fiscal 2022 to 2025, diluted EPS grew 69.9% a year.
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 · Free cash flow was $458M in fiscal 2025, 3.7% 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 · Celestica Inc returned $153M to shareholders in fiscal 2025, 33% of free cash flow. The diluted share count fell 2.1%.
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).
KIRA · 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. “Plan” 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.

Can it carry its debts, and how well does it use its money?
KIRA · Celestica Inc owes $239M more than it holds in cash, about 0.2 years of operating profit.
Cash, debt and the ratios that show how comfortably Celestica Inc can carry it.
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.

KIRA · Its return on capital was 36.8%: every 100 invested in the business earned about 37 in a year.
After-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash.
In plain words: How much profit the business makes on the money put into it. A higher percentage means each dollar invested works harder.
KIRA · Celestica Inc passes 7 of 9 financial health tests (Piotroski F-score).
Nine pass/fail tests of profitability, funding and efficiency. 8–9 is strong, 0–2 weak.
In plain words: Nine yes/no tests of financial health, one point each. A green tick is a pass: 7 to 9 points is solid, 0 to 3 is weak.
