Rhea AI HSON FY2025

Revenue recovered in FY2025, but working-capital needs and higher overhead kept the business cash-negative and unprofitable.

Revenue rose 22.9% in FY2025 while gross margin narrowed, making the rebound look volume-led rather than a margin recovery. Operating cash flow worsened to -$7.3M even as the operating loss improved to -$3.7M, indicating that working capital and other cash uses absorbed the accounting improvement.

Gross profit increased to $79.9M in FY2025, while SG&A rose 38.7%. Operating loss remained $3.7M, showing the added gross dollars were not enough to absorb overhead.

Receivables and newly reported inventory expanded alongside total assets, while the current ratio fell to 2.1x from 3.6x; the larger balance sheet is more working-capital intensive and less liquid by this measure. Liabilities rose to $47.5M while debt-to-equity remained modest at 0.1x, pointing more toward operating funding needs than heavy long-term leverage.

Hudson Global, Inc. (HSON) scores 41 out of 100 on our Financial Health Score, indicating moderate standing within its operating companies peer group. The score is a 0-100 composite of six dimensions (Profitability, Growth, Leverage, Liquidity, Cash Flow, Returns), each ranked as a percentile relative to companies in the same scoring family (banks against banks, REITs against REITs, and so on) rather than across all industries. It rates the quality of the business, not whether the stock is fairly priced, and is not financial advice. Learn more in our complete guide to financial health indicators.
