Hi! I read Kraft Heinzβs latest annual report (fiscal 2025). Here is what stands out:
Good So-so Weak
Are sales growing?
β3.5%
No. Sales fell 3.5% last year.
Does it make a profit?
β23.4%
No. It lost money last year.
Does profit turn into cash?
14.7%
Yes. 14.7% of sales ends up as free cash.
How healthy are the accounts?
4 / 9
Mixed. It passes 4 of 9 health tests.
Rules of thumb on reported numbers. A starting point, not a recommendation.
About these figures. Kraft Heinz's 2025 loss included large write-downs of goodwill and brands that made its EBITDA negative, so net debt to EBITDA is blank for that year.
Is it selling more, and how much does it keep?
In plain words: Every quarter, companies publish how much they sold and earned. These are the days Kraft Heinz did it, and the next one. Share prices often move a lot on those days.

From SEC filings: the results press release (8-K) or, without one, the quarterly or annual report.
KIRA Β· Kraft Heinz had $24.9B of revenue in fiscal 2025, down 3.5% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed β1.0% a year on average. Its operating margin was β18.7%, down 25.2Β pts: of every 100 in sales, about β19 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).

How much cash comes in, and where does it go?
KIRA Β· Free cash flow was $3.7B in fiscal 2025, 14.7% 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 Β· Kraft Heinz returned $2.3B to shareholders in fiscal 2025, 64% of free cash flow. The diluted share count fell 2.3%.
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 Β· In the last 12 months, insiders bought $5.0M and sold $7.0M of shares on the open market.
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.

KIRA Β· Kraft Heinz owes $18.6B more than it holds in cash.
Cash, debt and the ratios that show how comfortably Kraft Heinz 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.

Change the assumptions and see what they imply per share. These are models, not forecasts or price targets β the answer depends entirely on what you put in.
