Rhea AI BUKS FY2026

Profit expansion is arriving with stronger cash conversion, lower leverage, and fewer shares—not merely higher revenue.

Earnings quality improved: operating cash flow was below net income in FY2024 but exceeded it in FY2026. In FY2026, operating cash flow of $25.8M became $19.2M of free cash flow after capital spending, showing that profit was cash-backed while reinvestment still absorbed part of operating inflow.

Operating margin climbed from 16.9% in FY2024 to 29.0% in FY2026. At $98.0M of FY2026 revenue, that widening suggests more of each incremental sales dollar reached operations, though the data cannot separate scale from mix or cost effects.

Liabilities remained about $60.0M while debt-to-equity fell to 0.3x in FY2026, indicating that asset growth was financed with a larger equity cushion rather than proportionally more obligations. Shares outstanding declined from 76.5M in FY2022 to 63.9M in FY2026, so per-share results benefited from both business earnings and a smaller share base.
