Rhea AI CXW FY2025 2026-10-24

FY2025 growth lifted reported earnings, but heavier reinvestment reduced post-capex cash and expanded the balance sheet.

Operating cash conversion remained positive: operating cash flow was $194.6M against net income of $116.5M, so reported earnings did become cash before reinvestment. Yet free cash flow was only $52.8M while capital expenditures consumed 72.9% of operating cash flow, showing that capital spending absorbed the benefit rather than weak operations causing the shortfall.

Revenue reached $2.2B, up 12.7%. Net profit margin widened 1.8 percentage points to 5.3%, indicating that the expanded top line produced improved earnings capture.

Balance-sheet financing became heavier: liabilities rose 28.7% while equity fell 5.9%, making FY2025 expansion more debt-supported than the prior year. Accounts receivable rose 54.5% while the current ratio was 1.7x, so the larger asset base included a pronounced working-capital build without eliminating near-term coverage.
