Rules of thumb on reported numbers. A starting point, not a recommendation.
About these figures. Kinetik's preferred interests held by outside investors sit between liabilities and equity on its balance sheet, so they count as neither; we show them separately so the balance sheet adds up. Share counts and per-share figures for earlier years are restated for a stock split (1-for-20), so every year is on today's share basis.
Is it selling more, and how much does it keep?
KIRA Β· Kinetik had $1.8B of revenue in fiscal 2025, up 19.0% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed +64.1% a year on average. Its operating margin was 9.4%, down 2.7Β pts: of every 100 in sales, about 9 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 $112M in fiscal 2025, 6.3% 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.
