RIVN Nasdaq Automobile Manufacturers Financials FY2019–FY2025
Rivian designs, builds and sells electric vehicles in the United States and Canada. Its current models are the R1T pickup truck, the R1S sport utility vehicle and an electric delivery van developed with Amazon, its first commercial customer. It sells directly to drivers and businesses rather than through dealers, and updates its vehicles' software over the air.

KIRA · Rivian Automotive had $5.4B of revenue in fiscal 2025, up 8.4% on the year before. Its operating margin was −66.6%, up 27.8 pts: of every 100 in sales, about −67 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 · Free cash flow was −$2.5B in fiscal 2025, −46.2% 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 · Rivian Automotive returned $0.0M to shareholders in fiscal 2025. The diluted share count rose 17.1%.

KIRA · In the last 12 months, insiders bought $1.0B and sold $2.1M of shares on the open market.
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.
