Rhea AI CAKE FY2025 2026-08-15

Operating leverage is converting into cash, but capital returns and debt keep the balance sheet structurally tight.

As revenue expanded, operating margin recovered from 1.2% in FY2023 to 5.0% in FY2025, showing operating costs grew more slowly than sales. Yet FY2025 operating income reached $187M while net income fell to $148M; the operating improvement is not fully reaching the bottom line, pointing to pressure below operating profit.

Cash conversion is stronger than reported profit alone suggests: operating cash flow was $301M, about twice free cash flow of $155M in FY2025. Free cash flow also rose faster than operating cash flow versus FY2024, indicating capital investment consumed a smaller share of internally generated cash.

Short-term liquidity improved but remains below a one-to-one cushion: the current ratio was 0.6x while current liabilities reached $777M. Debt increased to $561M as buybacks consumed nearly all FY2025 free cash flow, linking distributions to a more leveraged financing posture.
