OPENLANE Inc. (KAR) reported $1.9B in revenue for fiscal year 2025, up 8.2% from the prior fiscal year. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios.

Low-capex cash conversion turned a margin recovery into rising free cash flow, even as leverage reappeared in FY2025.
FY2023’s net loss of-$154.1M still produced operating cash flow of$237M , which is the clearest sign that the weak year did not shut down the underlying cash engine. By FY2025, free cash flow had reached$336.5M with capex still near$55M , showing the recovery came from a business that needs relatively little reinvestment to keep producing cash.
