Rhea AI AXL FY2025

The business still generates cash, but high leverage and heavy reinvestment leave thin profits vulnerable when operating performance weakens.

Cash conversion remained positive despite weak earnings: FY2025 operating cash flow was $412M while the company reported a net loss of $20M. However, capital spending of $257M reduced that cash generation to $155M of free cash flow, showing that depreciation-supported cash flow does not translate fully into funds after reinvestment.

Margin recovery was incomplete. Gross margin held near 12.1% in FY2024 and 12.1% in FY2025, but operating margin fell from 3.9% to 1.9%; costs below gross profit absorbed much of the margin benefit.

The balance sheet became materially larger, with assets of $6.7B and liabilities of $6.0B in FY2025. Debt-to-equity reached 6.4x while the current ratio improved to 2.9x, separating better short-term coverage from heavier long-term leverage.
