Rhea AI BV FY2025

BrightView’s core mechanic is strong operating cash generation, but cash left after reinvestment swings sharply with capex intensity.

In FY2025, operating cash flow climbed to $291.8M from $205.6M even though revenue fell, which means collections and non-cash add-backs strengthened faster than reported earnings suggest. But free cash flow shrank to $37.6M as capital spending reached $254.2M, so the year looked cash-rich before reinvestment and cash-thin after it.

The recent earnings improvement looks more like overhead repair than better gross economics, because gross margin eased to 23.3% in FY2025. SG&A discipline cut selling and administrative expense to $457.8M from $533.4M since FY2023, allowing operating profit to hold up on lower revenue.

Leverage has been reduced, with long-term debt down to $790.2M and debt-to-equity at 0.6x, which lowers financing drag compared with FY2023. At the same time, goodwill-heavy assets still account for about 59.4% of total assets, while cash is only $74.5M, so the balance sheet is sturdier on debt but not especially liquid.

Growth
23

Brightview Holdings's revenue declined 3.4% year-over-year, from $2.8B to $2.7B. This contraction results in a growth score of 23/100.

While Brightview Holdings generated $291.8M in operating cash flow, capex of $254.2M consumed most of it, leaving $37.6M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 38/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed
5.21x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Brightview Holdings generates $5.21 in operating cash flow ($291.8M OCF vs $56.0M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage Adequate
2.5x

Brightview Holdings earns $2.5 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($134.6M vs $53.7M). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
