Rhea AI IIIN FY2025 2026-08-15

Profit recovery is being absorbed by working-capital demands, leaving less liquidity despite positive operating cash flow.

In FY2025, net income of $41.0M exceeded operating cash flow of $27.2M, showing that reported earnings converted only partially into cash. The cash-conversion gap is also visible in a 2.9% free-cash-flow margin versus a 6.3% net margin, limiting cash available for reinvestment or distributions.

FY2025 revenue rebounded to $647.7M and gross margin recovered to 14.4%, showing that the top-line recovery coincided with better gross economics. However, gross margin remained below FY2022's 23.9%, so the rebound has not recreated the earlier margin structure.

Cash fell from $111.5M to $38.6M despite positive operating cash flow, indicating that other cash uses outweighed internally generated funds. Inventory reached $137.8M as the current ratio fell to 4.0x, tying more liquidity to operating assets as activity recovered.
