Rhea AI BUSEP FY2025 2026-08-29

Revenue scale expanded sharply in FY2025, but higher interest costs and share issuance weakened the conversion of growth into shareholder earnings.

The FY2025 revenue step-up did not translate proportionally into profit: net margin fell from 24.6% in FY2024 to 18.8% in FY2025, indicating weaker earnings conversion as scale expanded. Interest expense rose from $201M to $324M, consistent with the margin pressure reflecting a heavier cost burden rather than merely slower revenue growth.

Operating cash flow exceeded net income in FY2025, a pattern also visible in earlier years, so accounting profit converted into more cash than it reported. Free cash flow was $173M against $20M of capital expenditures, showing that the business currently requires relatively little reinvestment to produce cash.

Shares outstanding rose from 57.0M in FY2024 to 86.2M in FY2025, so higher net income did not flow through to owners on a per-share basis. Meanwhile, liabilities reached $15.6B against $2.5B of equity, leaving the enlarged balance sheet primarily liability-funded.
