Rhea AI DG FY2025

Profitability recovered in FY2025, while lower leverage and stronger cash generation show a business rebuilding financial flexibility.

FY2025 operating cash flow of $3.6B was more than twice net income of $1.5B, making reported earnings a conservative picture of cash produced. The accompanying inventory reduction and free cash flow of $2.4B suggest cash conversion was helped by working-capital release, not just accounting profit.

Gross margin recovered to 30.7% in FY2025 from 29.6% in FY2024, while revenue also increased, indicating improved merchandise economics rather than growth from a smaller sales base. Operating margin rose to 5.2% from 4.2%, but remains below 9.4% in FY2021, so the business has not fully restored prior cost absorption.

Debt-to-equity declined from 0.8x in FY2024 to 0.5x in FY2025 as liabilities fell and equity rose, reducing balance-sheet dependence on borrowing. FY2025 free cash flow exceeded capital spending, while the 1.1x current ratio shows improved solvency does not mean abundant short-term cushion.
