Rhea AI JEF FY2025

Balance-sheet expansion has been funded mainly by rising liabilities, while reported profit has not been turning into cash.

From FY2023 to FY2025, total assets rose from $57.9B to $76.0B while equity changed little. That means the balance sheet expansion was largely liability-funded, and the point is sharper because operating cash flow stayed negative in FY2024 and FY2025 even with positive net income.

By FY2025, cash reached $14.0B but long-term debt was higher at $15.9B, so liquidity rose alongside leverage rather than replacing it. With debt-to-equity moving from 1.0x to 1.5x over the last three years, the balance sheet is carrying more of the operating load.

The business is not cash-hungry because of heavy physical reinvestment: capital spending in FY2025 was only $207M against a free-cash outflow of $1.7B. That gap points more to balance-sheet swings than to equipment needs, and ROA of 0.9% versus ROE of 6.5% shows returns are being amplified by leverage.
