Rhea AI CDZI FY2025

Cadiz is still a financing-driven buildout: rising sales improve gross margin, but cash needs and leverage keep expanding.

From FY2023 to FY2025, revenue climbed from $2.0M to $16.3M while gross margin turned positive. Even so, cash ended FY2025 at $8.6M after $60.9M of financing inflows over FY2024-FY2025, showing that capital spending, overhead, and a heavier debt load still absorb more than sales contribute.

The business now earns a positive gross spread on revenue, with gross margin improving from 24.0% to 31.6%. But operating loss still widened to -$25.6M because selling and administrative expense rose faster than gross profit, so fixed corporate costs remain the main barrier to self-funding.

FY2025 left the balance sheet more dependent on outside capital, as debt to equity reached 3.1x and the current ratio narrowed to 1.2x. With free cash flow at -$26.5M and cash at $8.6M, liquidity is increasingly tied to continued financing rather than internally generated cash.

Altman Z-Score Distress
-5.84

Cadiz scores -5.84, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($292.6M) relative to total liabilities ($117.7M). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.

Piotroski F-Score Weak
3/9

Cadiz passes 3 of 9 financial strength tests. 1 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Low Quality
0.55x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Cadiz generates $0.55 in operating cash flow (-$18.9M OCF vs -$34.2M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.

Interest Coverage At Risk
-3.0x

Cadiz earns $-3.0 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$25.6M vs $8.6M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
