Rhea AI CXW FY2025 2026-08-29

Revenue acceleration improved reported profitability, but capital spending, receivables, and buybacks redirected cash away from free cash flow.

FY2025 net income reached $116.5M, while operating cash flow was only $194.6M. Capex consumed most of that operating cash at $141.8M, while receivables expanded to $446.2M, indicating that heavier reinvestment and cash tied up in billed-but-uncollected amounts weakened cash conversion.

Revenue reached $2.2B in FY2025 from $2.0B in FY2024, so the improved result was not simply a margin artifact. Net margin widened to 5.3% from 3.5%, showing that more of that expansion reached the bottom line despite higher selling, general and administrative expense.

Long-term debt rose to $1.2B while total equity fell to $1.4B, reversing part of the balance-sheet deleveraging seen through FY2024. At the same time, buybacks of $229.0M exceeded free cash flow of $52.8M, so distributions outpaced post-investment cash generation.
