Rhea AI DIN FY2025 2026-10-04

The business still converts sales into cash, but FY2025 combined weaker margins, heavier reinvestment, and a more pressured balance sheet.

Net income fell to $17.1M in FY2025, while operating cash flow was $89M. Because cash weakened less than accounting profit, earnings-to-cash conversion looked stronger, but both measures still deteriorated versus FY2024.

Revenue recovered to $879.3M in FY2025, but gross margin fell to 40.9%, showing the sales recovery came with weaker economics per sales dollar. Gross margin had been 46.2% in FY2024, while net margin fell to 1.9% in FY2025, confirming pressure reached the bottom line.

Liabilities exceeded assets in FY2025, leaving negative equity of $273.9M; the balance sheet is financed more by obligations than shareholder capital. The current ratio remained below 1.0x, while capital spending rose to $35.6M and free cash flow fell to $53.4M, meaning reinvestment consumed more internally generated cash.

Note: Shareholder equity is negative (-$273.9M), which causes debt-to-equity and return on equity ratios to appear negative or not meaningful. This can occur from accumulated losses or large share buyback programs.

Note: The current ratio is below 1.0 (0.96), indicating current liabilities exceed current assets, which may suggest potential short-term liquidity concerns.
