Rhea AI BKE FY2025 2026-10-04

The business remains highly profitable and cash-generative, but rising distributions and reinvestment are increasingly absorbing internally generated cash.

In FY2025, operating cash flow of $251M exceeded net income of $210M, showing that reported profit converted into cash rather than relying on accruals. But free cash flow was $206M against dividends of $225M, meaning reinvestment and distributions together exceeded the cash left after operations.

Revenue recovered to $1.3B in FY2025, while operating margin reached 20.1%. That is a modest recovery from FY2024, but still below FY2021's 25.9%, so the rebound has not restored earlier operating leverage.

By FY2025, total liabilities reached $566.6M while equity stood at $424.6M, creating a balance-sheet mix with more obligations relative to owners' capital. Reported debt-to-equity was 1.3x; the current ratio fell to 1.9x from 2.1x, indicating reduced short-term cushion.
