This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios.

Rhea AI HRL FY2025

Stable sales now support a thinner profit pool, while cash generation falls below dividends and inventory absorbs more working capital.

Revenue barely changed between FY2024 and FY2025, yet operating margin fell from 9.0% to 5.9%, showing the deterioration was not driven by sales volume. Free cash flow fell 47.1% while dividends reached $633M, leaving the payout $99M above internally generated cash.

Gross margin compressed from 17.0% to 15.6% in FY2025, reducing the pool available before operating costs. Gross profit was $1.9B while SG&A remained about $1.0B, so the near-flat expense base had less room to be absorbed.

Liquidity remained substantial on the reported ratios: current ratio was 2.5 and debt-to-equity was 0.4, so weaker 2025 cash flow did not coincide with a comparable solvency shift. However, inventory rose to $1.7B while cash declined to $671M, pointing to more capital tied in stock as the cash cushion narrowed.
