Rhea AI CDZIP FY2025 2026-04-22

Revenue is scaling, but Cadiz still operates as an externally financed build-out because overhead, capex, and leverage outrun gross profit.

In FY2025, operating cash burn improved to -$18.9M even as the net loss widened to -$34.2M. But higher capex drove free cash flow down to -$26.5M, showing that the year’s extra cash use came more from asset spending than from weaker day-to-day operations, so better revenue and a 31.6% gross margin still did not create self-funding.

Gross margin expanded to 31.6% in FY2025 from 24.0% in FY2024, so the revenue mix became less loss-making at the project level. Yet SG&A reached $29.5M against just $5.2M of gross profit, which means scale has not yet covered the fixed cost base.

Financing shifted toward leverage as long-term debt climbed to $72.7M while equity fell to $23.3M in FY2025. With cash down to $8.6M, short-term flexibility also narrowed. A current ratio of 1.2x and debt-to-equity at 3.1x indicate less balance-sheet cushion and continued dependence on outside funding rather than internally generated cash.

Financial Health Signals

Financial Profile 26/100

Based on FY2025 annual data, averaged across the last 3 years for performance metrics (most-recent year weighted highest). How this score is calculated →

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Cadiz Inc's business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Profitability

Cadiz Inc has an operating margin of -156.9%, meaning the company retains $-157 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 0/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is up from -242.0% the prior year.

Growth

100

Cadiz Inc's revenue surged 69.8% year-over-year to $16.3M, reflecting rapid business expansion. This strong growth earns a score of 100/100.

Leverage

Cadiz Inc has a moderate D/E ratio of 3.13. This balance of debt and equity financing earns a leverage score of 38/100.

Liquidity

Cadiz Inc's current ratio of 1.22 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 20/100. However, the company holds substantial cash reserves (65% of current liabilities), which buffers actual liquidity risk. Large mature operators often run tight current ratios by design.

Cash Flow

While Cadiz Inc generated -$18.9M in operating cash flow, capex of $7.6M consumed most of it, leaving -$26.5M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 0/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Cadiz Inc generates a -146.8% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 0/100. This is down from -91.7% the prior year.

Piotroski F-Score Weak

3/9

Cadiz Inc 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 Inc 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 Inc 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.
