KIRA Β· OPENLANE, Inc. had $1.9B of revenue in fiscal 2025, up 8.2% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed +7.8% a year on average. Its operating margin was 10.2%, down 0.0Β pts: of every 100 in sales, about 10 is left after running the business.

How much cash comes in, and where does it go?
KIRA Β· Free cash flow was $337M in fiscal 2025, 17.4% of revenue.
Cash from operations minus capital spending.

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.
