Rhea AI DIN FY2025

Positive cash generation coexists with profit compression and shareholder distributions in a highly debt-funded, negative-equity structure.

Top-line recovery did not translate into comparable profit: revenue reached $879.3M in 2025 while net margin fell to 1.9%, showing weaker economics beneath the sales rebound. Yet cash conversion held up better than earnings, with free cash flow of $53.4M exceeding net income of $17.1M; the profit decline was therefore not mirrored by cash leaving the business at the same rate.

Revenue recovered to $879.3M in 2025, yet net margin fell to 1.9%; sales volume therefore did not translate into comparable bottom-line profit. Gross margin also slipped from 46.2% in 2024 to 40.9%, indicating the squeeze began before overhead and was not simply a financing effect.

Negative equity of -$273.9M means the reported -4.3x debt-to-equity ratio is not a conventional leverage gauge; shareholders do not provide a positive equity cushion against liabilities. Buybacks and dividends totaled $91.7M, exceeding 2025 free cash flow of $53.4M, so distributions outpaced internally generated surplus.
