How much cash comes in, and where does it go?
KIRA Β· Free cash flow was $159M in fiscal 2025, 2.2% 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 Β· Hyatt returned $350M to shareholders in fiscal 2025, 220% of free cash flow. The diluted share count fell 6.8%.

KIRA Β· In the last 12 months, insiders sold $123M of shares on the open market and bought 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.
