Rhea AI CENX FY2025

The company’s margin expansion is becoming more credible because FY2025 paired operating profit with cash conversion.

FY2024’s reported earnings quality was weak: net income was $319M while operating cash flow was -$24.6M, so the accounting result did not arrive as operating cash. In FY2025, net income fell to $40M while operating cash flow rose to $185M; that reversal makes the later year’s smaller profit a better indicator of cash economics.

The margin shape improved across the cycle: gross margin moved from 4.0% in FY2023 to 10.1% in FY2025, while revenue growth was more modest. Because the spread widened faster than sales, the improvement points to better economics per dollar sold or a more favorable mix, not volume alone.

The balance-sheet posture improved in liquidity terms: FY2025’s current ratio was 2.0x, while debt-to-equity remained 1.8x, indicating more short-term coverage without eliminating leverage. Capital spending of $100M consumed more than half of operating cash flow, leaving $84.8M of free cash flow; the asset base still requires meaningful reinvestment.
