Rhea AI GD FY2025 2026-04-29

Working-capital swings temporarily muted cash, but steady margins and falling leverage show growth is being financed mostly internally.

FY2024's revenue surge did not translate cleanly into cash because inventory built to $9.7B and free-cash-flow margin slipped to 6.7%. In FY2025, inventory and receivables both reversed, with receivables down to $2.4B and operating cash flow up to $5.1B; that looks more like a working-capital timing effect than a weaker earnings engine.

From FY2023 to FY2025, leverage moved down while the company grew: revenue rose about 24.3% while long-term debt ended at $7.0B. Total liabilities fell to $31.6B as equity climbed to $25.6B, suggesting growth was funded largely from internal cash rather than a heavier balance sheet.

Over FY2023-FY2025, overhead grew much slower than sales: SG&A increased about 6.9% while revenue grew 24.3%. With operating margin holding near 10.0% and capex only $1.2B in FY2025, the business appears moderately asset-light and able to let more growth reach cash instead of being swallowed by reinvestment.
