Rhea AI BBW FY2025 2026-10-25

Revenue growth is reaching gross profit, but rising overhead and reinvestment keep bottom-line gains comparatively muted.

From FY2023 to FY2025, gross profit grew 11.8% while net income fell 1.1%, showing that higher gross profit did not translate proportionally into earnings. SG&A rose 15.2% over the same span, making overhead absorption the clearest bridge between those outcomes.

FY2025 operating cash flow was $65.1M versus net income of $52.2M, so earnings converted into cash rather than relying mainly on accruals. Free cash flow was $39.5M after $25.5M of capital spending, showing that reinvestment absorbs a meaningful cash share even when cash conversion is favorable.

Inventory rose 17.8% while revenue rose 6.7% in FY2025, so expansion required materially more stock on hand than sales growth alone would suggest. A current ratio of 1.5x and liabilities-to-equity of 1.2x indicate current assets exceed current obligations, while the balance sheet remains meaningfully financed by liabilities.
