Rhea AI FMS FY2016 2026-10-04

The business turned moderate sales growth into faster profit growth by FY2016, while reducing leverage without reducing reinvestment.

Revenue increased 7.0% from FY2015 to FY2016, while operating profit rose faster at 13.4%. That spread lifted operating margin from 13.9% to 14.7%, indicating cost absorption or mix improvement rather than growth passing through dollar-for-dollar.

FY2016 net income was $1.24B versus operating cash flow of $2.14B, so operating cash generation exceeded reported profit. After $1.03B of capital spending, free cash flow remained $1.11B; the gap indicates non-cash charges and working-capital movements materially shape cash generation.

Debt-to-equity fell from 0.8x in FY2015 to 0.7x in FY2016 as long-term debt declined while equity grew, improving the balance-sheet funding mix. Yet current liquidity slipped from 1.6x to 1.5x as current liabilities grew faster than current assets, so near-term flexibility did not improve in parallel.
