Rhea AI IFF FY2025

The business still converts operations into cash, but FY2025 showed fragile operating profitability despite positive cash generation.

Gross margin held at 36.2% in FY2025, near FY2024's 35.9%. Operating margin nevertheless swung from 6.7% to -3.5%, pointing to deterioration below gross profit rather than a collapse in gross-profit economics.

Despite a net loss of $359M, operating cash flow was $850M. After capital spending, free cash flow remained positive, showing that accounting earnings and cash generation diverged while reinvestment still absorbed much of the cash produced.

Long-term debt fell from $7.6B in FY2024 to $4.7B in FY2025. That deleveraging reduced debt relative to equity, but the current ratio also fell, leaving a narrower short-term cushion even as liabilities contracted.

N/A
