This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios.

Rhea AI CG FY2025

Accounting earnings recovered, but cash generation reversed sharply, making FY2025 look financed more by funding flows than operations.

By FY2025, net income stayed positive at $809M while operating cash flow fell to -$3.3B. That gap is more revealing because FY2023 had the opposite shape — a -$608M loss with $205M of operating cash — so the recent earnings rebound came with much weaker cash conversion.

The balance sheet expanded while asset productivity weakened: total assets reached $29.1B as return on assets slipped to 2.8%. With debt-to-equity at 3.1x and below FY2025 profit efficiency on equity and assets, the company needed more balance-sheet support for each dollar of earnings than in the prior year.

Cash finished higher at $2.0B only after financing inflows of $4.0B, even as free cash flow remained deeply negative. The continued buybacks and dividends therefore look less like surplus operating cash being distributed and more like capital returns maintained despite weak internal cash generation.
