Rhea AI DAC FY2025 2026-10-04

Revenue keeps edging higher while operating profitability and returns fade, making cash conversion the business's more durable signal.

The business is showing cash conversion resilience: operating margin compressed by 5.5% from FY2024 to FY2025, yet operating cash flow stayed above $0.6B. That gap means weaker reported operating profitability has not yet translated into weaker cash generation, a distinction the income statement alone hides.

The asset base expanded from $4.34B in FY2024 to $5.11B in FY2025 while revenue moved only modestly, so the company is becoming more capital-heavy relative to sales. Debt-to-equity rose from 0.20x to 0.23x, while a 3.3x current ratio still indicates short-term liabilities are backed by more current assets.

Return on assets fell from 11.6% to 9.7% as assets expanded, suggesting the larger balance sheet is not yet producing earnings proportionally. In FY2025, operating cash flow exceeded net income by $150M while dividends and buybacks totaled $139M, showing that cash generation supported both distributions and investment outlays.

Financial Health Signals

Financial Health Score 65/100

Scored against operating companies for FY2025. Each of the six dimensions is a percentile rank within that peer group; the overall is their average, with missing dimensions counted as zero out of six.

Profitability

Danaos Corporation has an operating margin of 47.9%, meaning the company retains $48 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This strong profitability earns a score of 96/100, reflecting efficient cost management and pricing power. This is down from 53.3% the prior year.

Leverage

Danaos Corporation carries a low D/E ratio of 0.23, meaning only $0.23 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 92/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.
