Rhea AI BWFG FY2025

Profitability is driven by balance-sheet leverage, with small shifts in asset returns creating much larger swings in shareholder earnings.

From FY2023 to FY2025, operating cash flow stayed clustered near $30M even as net income swung from $36.7M to $9.8M and back to $35.2M. That pattern suggests reported earnings were more volatile than underlying cash generation, so FY2025 looks more like a recovery in profit spread on a similar operating base than a business transformed by new cash-producing capacity.

In FY2025, ROA of 1.1% translated into ROE of 11.7% because $3.06B of liabilities sits against only $301.5M of equity. The important change is that leverage eased to 10.1x from 11.1x as equity grew faster than assets, which modestly strengthened the capital structure without shrinking the balance sheet.

Physical capital needs are minimal: capex was just $1.1M, leaving free cash flow at $27.1M and close to operating cash flow of $28.3M. But cash still fell to $224.9M from $307.5M because capital is being deployed through the balance sheet, with investing outflows of $165.2M far larger than fixed-asset spending.
