KBR had $7.8B of revenue in fiscal 2025, up 1.0% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed +6.2% a year on average.
Hi! I read KBRβs latest annual report (fiscal 2025). Here is what stands out:
Good So-so Weak
Are sales growing?
+1.0%
Only a little. Sales grew 1.0% last year.
Does it make a profit?
5.3%
A little. It keeps 5.3% of every sale as profit.
Does profit turn into cash?
6.6%
Partly. 6.6% of sales ends up as free cash.
Is debt under control?
2.2x
Keep an eye on it. Repaying its debt would take 2.2 years of operating profit.
How healthy are the accounts?
7 / 9
Solid. It passes 7 of 9 health tests.
How is the share priced?
11.8x
One share costs 11.8 times its yearly profit per share. Typical for its sector: 26.0x.
Rules of thumb on reported numbers. A starting point, not a recommendation.
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 KBR did it, and the next one. Share prices often move a lot on those days.

KIRA Β· KBR had $7.8B of revenue in fiscal 2025, up 1.0% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed +6.2% a year on average. Its operating margin was 10.0%, up 1.4Β pts: of every 100 in sales, about 10 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 Β· KBR made $415M of net profit in fiscal 2025.

How much cash comes in, and where does it go?
KIRA Β· Free cash flow was $515M in fiscal 2025, 6.6% 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· KBR returned $413M to shareholders in fiscal 2025, 80% of free cash flow. The diluted share count fell 3.7%.
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 $0.9M of shares on the open market and sold none.
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.

Can it carry its debts, and how well does it use its money?
KIRA Β· KBR owes $2.1B more than it holds in cash, about 2.2 years of operating profit.
Cash, debt and the ratios that show how comfortably KBR 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.
