Rhea AI HLX FY2025 2026-04-24

A depreciation-heavy asset base keeps turning modest earnings into cash while the company maintains a more liquid balance sheet.

From FY2023 through FY2025, operating cash flow held between $137M and $186M even though reported earnings only recently turned positive. With FY2025 depreciation and amortization at $187M versus net income of just $31M, accounting profit is understating how much cash the installed asset base is still throwing off.

FY2025 margin pressure came mostly from direct cost absorption, not overhead creep: gross margin fell from 16.2% to 12.3% while SG&A declined. That makes this a business where contract economics and utilization matter more than administrative discipline once revenue softens.

Balance-sheet posture improved even as earnings softened: cash reached $445M versus long-term debt of $298M, and total liabilities still moved lower. The current ratio rose to 2.8x, showing operations were not being supported by tighter short-term financing.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

4.44x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Helix Energy Solutions Grp Inc generates $4.44 in operating cash flow ($136.7M OCF vs $30.8M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage At Risk

2.0x

Helix Energy Solutions Grp Inc earns $2.0 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($65.1M vs $33.0M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
