Rhea AI HRTX FY2025

Gross-margin expansion has nearly closed operating losses, but working-capital absorption and interest keep accounting progress from becoming cash.

In the latest year, cash conversion worsened to -$28M of operating cash flow even as operating loss narrowed to $3M. The gap coincided with inventory rising to $93M from $53M, indicating that growth consumed working capital rather than converting cleanly into cash.

Gross margin reached 73.3% in the latest year versus 48.8% in FY2023, a structural improvement in the economics of reported sales. Operating margin improved to -1.6% from -87.1%; R&D fell to $12M, so the narrowing loss reflects lower development spending alongside margin expansion, not just volume.

Shares outstanding rose to 188.5M from 152.3M, consistent with equity issuance helping restore positive equity. That equity base was only $14M, so the 16.9x debt-to-equity ratio remains mechanically high even with a 2.5x current ratio.
