Rhea AI CREX FY2025 2026-05-15

FY2025 became a debt-funded balance-sheet expansion that lifted revenue but undid earlier cash conversion and cost absorption.

From FY2023 to FY2025, revenue rose $12.1M but gross profit rose only $3.5M. Over the same span, SG&A increased $7.5M, which helps explain why FY2025's larger revenue base produced negative EBITDA and negative operating cash flow instead of better absorption.

The balance sheet did not simply grow; it was externally financed. Financing cash inflow of $48.7M sat alongside investing outflow of $40.5M, indicating FY2025 scale was added through purchased assets rather than cash generated by operations. The larger goodwill load means more of the asset base is intangible, so returns now depend more on execution than on liquid assets.

Recent accounting losses had been cushioned by noncash charges: FY2024 net loss was -$3.5M while operating cash flow stayed positive at $3.4M. In FY2025 that cushion disappeared, and with current assets still below current liabilities, the company had to manage both cash burn and a tighter short-term funding posture.

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Creative Realities 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

Creative Realities Inc has an operating margin of -15.5%, meaning the company retains $-15 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 8/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is down from 1.8% the prior year.

Growth

Creative Realities Inc's revenue grew 12.5% year-over-year to $57.2M, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 54/100.

Leverage

Creative Realities Inc carries a low D/E ratio of 1.84, meaning only $1.84 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 65/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

Creative Realities Inc's current ratio of 0.85 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 12/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.

Cash Flow

While Creative Realities Inc generated -$7.8M in operating cash flow, capex of $306K consumed most of it, leaving -$8.1M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 18/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

Creative Realities Inc generates a -38.5% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 0/100. This is down from -13.8% the prior year.

Piotroski F-Score Weak

2/9

Creative Realities Inc passes 2 of 9 financial strength tests. 1 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, neither operating efficiency signal passes.

Earnings Quality Low Quality

0.94x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Creative Realities Inc generates $0.94 in operating cash flow (-$7.8M OCF vs -$8.3M 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

-3.6x

Creative Realities Inc earns $-3.6 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$8.9M vs $2.5M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
