Rhea AI CLST FY2025

Catalyst Bancorp’s earnings swing masks a steadier cash-generation engine, while buybacks keep shrinking the capital base.

Revenue was essentially flat from FY2024 to FY2025, but net income swung from -$3.1M to $2.1M. Because operating cash flow stayed positive in both years and finished FY2025 at $3.3M, the FY2024 loss looks more like a temporary non-cash or timing drag than a broken cash conversion model.

FY2025 produced only a 0.7% return on assets and a 2.5% return on equity. With roughly $283M of assets behind those returns, the business needs a large balance sheet to create modest profit, so relatively small shifts in spread or credit costs can move earnings sharply.

Shares outstanding have fallen materially since FY2021, reaching 4.07M by FY2025 alongside repeated buybacks. Because total equity stayed in roughly the same $80M-$99M band, part of the per-share recovery came from fewer shares rather than from broad balance-sheet expansion.
