Rhea AI AOS FY2025

Stable sales convert into cash through high margins, while low leverage accompanies substantial shareholder distributions.

FY2024's weaker free cash flow coincided with heavier capital spending, while FY2025's recovery came as reinvestment normalized. With FY2025 operating cash flow at $617M and net income at $546M, earnings converted into cash; capital spending, rather than accounting quality, explains most recent cash-flow volatility.

Revenue stayed near $3.8B across FY2023–FY2025 while gross margin reached 38.8% in FY2025, indicating stable economics without volume growth. Operating margin nevertheless softened, consistent with overhead absorbing some of the gross-profit benefit.

Total liabilities declined to $1.28B in FY2025 while debt-to-equity was 0.1x, so the balance sheet relies relatively little on borrowing. The 1.5x current ratio shows short-term assets still exceeded short-term obligations, although liquidity narrowed from FY2023's 1.6x.
