Rhea AI AMBO FY2025 2026-05-11

Flat sales masked a margin-led turnaround, but FY2025 profit still converted into only $137K of operating cash.

With revenue still around $9M, operating profit turned positive only after gross margin roughly doubled over two years to 54.8%, showing a recovery driven by better cost or mix economics rather than renewed demand. But earnings quality lagged the income statement: net income of $1.4M produced just $137K of operating cash, and capex pushed free cash flow back below zero.

The path to breakeven also came from overhead discipline: SG&A is down by nearly $1.9M from two years ago while revenue is still near $9M, so more gross profit now reaches operating income. That mattered because operating margin moved from -7.7% to 1.2% without any meaningful top-line lift.

Short-term coverage improved to 2.2x, but the cash cushion is still only $831K, which means liquidity depends more on collecting receivables and other current assets than on cash sitting idle. Compared with the sub-1.0x position seen earlier in the record, the company is no longer squeezed by near-term obligations in the same way, even though total liabilities still exceed $12M.

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Ambow Education Holding Ltd.'s business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Profitability

Ambow Education Holding Ltd. has an operating margin of 1.2%, meaning the company retains $1 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 0/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is up from -7.7% the prior year.

Growth

Ambow Education Holding Ltd.'s revenue grew a modest 0.8% year-over-year to $9.5M. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 36/100.

Leverage

Ambow Education Holding Ltd. carries a low D/E ratio of 0.33, meaning only $0.33 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 95/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

Ambow Education Holding Ltd.'s current ratio of 2.20 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 40/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.

Cash Flow

While Ambow Education Holding Ltd. generated $137K in operating cash flow, capex of $600K consumed most of it, leaving -$463K in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 22/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Ambow Education Holding Ltd. generates a 16.5% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 11/100. This is up from 4.6% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Distress

-33.10

Ambow Education Holding Ltd. scores -33.10, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($7.4M) relative to total liabilities ($12.5M). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

5/9

Ambow Education Holding Ltd. passes 5 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 2 leverage/liquidity signals pass, 1 of 2 efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Low Quality

0.10x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Ambow Education Holding Ltd. generates $0.10 in operating cash flow ($137K OCF vs $1.4M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.

Interest Coverage At Risk

1.1x

Ambow Education Holding Ltd. earns $1.1 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($112K vs $103K). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
