Rhea AI BUKS FY2025

Higher profit is increasingly turning into self-funded balance-sheet improvement, as cash generation covers reinvestment while leverage keeps easing.

From FY2024 to FY2025, net income was nearly unchanged at $12.5M, but operating cash flow rose to $18.4M. At the same time, free cash flow moved from -$1.2M to $10.1M, suggesting the prior year's cash squeeze looked more like reinvestment timing than a weakening earnings base.

FY2025 cash flow covered both capital spending and balance-sheet repair: operating cash flow of $18.4M exceeded capex of $8.3M. That left room for buybacks without leaning harder on debt, which means growth has not required a larger creditor claim on the business.

Operating margin improved from 11.5% in FY2023 to 20.0% in FY2025, so more revenue is reaching the operating line instead of being absorbed by overhead and financing costs. Cash now exceeds long-term debt, which makes that margin improvement more durable because the company is less dependent on borrowed capital to keep investing.
