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

Rhea AI COF FY2025

Balance-sheet expansion outpaced earnings in FY2025, compressing returns despite much higher reported cash generation.

In FY2025, operating cash flow reached $27.7B against net income of $2.5B, making accounting profit a poor shorthand for the year's cash movement. Free cash flow of $26.1B remained close to operating cash flow, indicating that capital spending was not the main reason for the gap.

Revenue rose 36.6% in FY2025 while net income fell 48.4%, so growth did not pass through to earnings. SG&A rose 32.8% and interest expense 6.7%, pointing to operating and funding costs as the main visible drag.

Total assets expanded 36.5% and goodwill 89.3% in FY2025, while shares outstanding increased 63.2%. The lower debt-to-equity ratio, at 0.4x versus 0.7x previously, therefore reflects equity absorbing the enlarged balance sheet more than simple debt reduction.
