Rhea AI AKBA FY2025

Akebia's 2025 numbers show a business that shifted from cash consumption to cash generation as gross-margin expansion outweighed operating costs.

The important change was margin economics: gross margin reached 83.3% in FY2025, turning sales into operating income rather than another operating loss. That margin expansion coincided with operating cash flow of $68.0M while net income remained a net loss of $5.3M, so cash generation outpaced reported earnings.

Operating cash flow of $68.0M nearly matched free cash flow of $67.7M, showing little of the year's cash generation was absorbed by capital spending. Yet financing cash flow was $72.9M, so the cash result also reflects external funding rather than operations alone.

The balance sheet moved from negative equity in FY2024 to positive equity of $32.6M in FY2025, while the current ratio reached 1.6x. Liabilities still totaled $344.0M, and debt-to-equity was 1.5x, so improved working-capital coverage coexists with meaningful obligations.

Profitability
23

Akebia Therapeutics, Inc. has an operating margin of 10.0%, meaning the company retains $10 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 23/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is up from -31.5% the prior year.

Growth
65

Akebia Therapeutics, Inc.'s revenue surged 47.5% year-over-year to $236.2M, reflecting rapid business expansion. This strong growth earns a score of 65/100.

Leverage
99

Akebia Therapeutics, Inc. carries a low D/E ratio of 1.48, meaning only $1.48 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 99/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity
43

Akebia Therapeutics, Inc.'s current ratio of 1.55 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 43/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.

Cash Flow
42

Akebia Therapeutics, Inc. has a free cash flow margin of 28.7%, earning a moderate score of 42/100. The company generates positive cash flow after capital investments, but with room for improvement.

Altman Z-Score Distress
-4.70

Akebia Therapeutics, Inc. scores -4.70, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($252.3M) relative to total liabilities ($344.0M). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral
6/9

Akebia Therapeutics, Inc. passes 6 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, 1 of 2 efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Mixed
N/A

Akebia Therapeutics, Inc. reported a net loss of $5.3M while generating $68.0M in operating cash flow. Operations generated cash despite the loss, but with no positive earnings behind it, the ratio between the two carries no quality signal.

Interest Coverage At Risk
0.97x

Akebia Therapeutics, Inc. earns $0.97 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($23.5M vs $24.2M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
