Rhea AI CAR FY2025

A debt-financed asset base now produces declining revenue and losses, while total liabilities reached $34.4B in FY2025.

FY2025 combined a net loss of $889M with operating cash flow of $3.3B, so accounting earnings are not a direct proxy for cash generation; noncash charges or working-capital movements matter. Operating cash flow fell from $3.8B in FY2023 to $3.3B in FY2025 while revenue was broadly flat, and free cash flow is unavailable, leaving cash retained after investment unresolved.

The combination of negative equity of $3.1B and a 0.7x current ratio means liabilities exceed the accounting asset base while current assets do not fully cover current obligations. Long-term debt reached $6.0B while interest expense rose to $422M, making financing costs a more visible pressure on earnings.

Revenue slipped from $12.0B in FY2023 to $11.7B in FY2025, indicating a broadly stable top line rather than growth. Net income shifted from profit of $1.6B in FY2023 to a loss of $889M in FY2025, showing profitability deteriorated far more than revenue.
