Rhea AI KTOS FY2025

Revenue expansion is increasingly paired with heavier reinvestment, weaker cash conversion, and a balance sheet reshaped by financing.

Accounting profit and cash generation diverged sharply in FY2025: net income reached $22M, yet operating cash flow was -$42.1M and free cash flow was -$137.4M. Capital expenditures rose to $95.3M while accounts receivable climbed to $165M, indicating that reported earnings were not arriving as cash because investment and customer balances absorbed funds.

The business did not show clear fixed-cost absorption as revenue expanded: gross margin narrowed from 25.9% in FY2023 to 22.9% in FY2025, while operating margin declined from 3.0% to 1.9%. More sales therefore produced only modest operating-profit improvement, with cost growth consuming much of the expansion.

The balance sheet became less debt-funded but more dependent on equity financing: long-term debt fell from $174.6M to $0, liabilities declined to $470.9M, and financing cash flow was $360.7M in FY2025 as shares outstanding increased to 170.3M. Current liquidity strengthened to a 4.1x current ratio, but the funding mix changed materially.

Profitability
43

Kratos Defense & Sec Solutions has an operating margin of 1.9%, meaning the company retains $2 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 43/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is down from 2.5% the prior year.

Growth

Leverage
99

Kratos Defense & Sec Solutions carries a low D/E ratio of 0.00, meaning only $0.00 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 99/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity
88

Altman Z-Score Safe
11.92

Kratos Defense & Sec Solutions scores 11.92, well above the 2.99 safe threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($8.8B) relative to total liabilities ($470.9M). This indicates low bankruptcy risk based on profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral
4/9

Kratos Defense & Sec Solutions passes 4 of 9 financial strength tests. 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, neither operating efficiency signal passes.

Earnings Quality No Cash Backing

For every $1 of reported earnings, Kratos Defense & Sec Solutions used $1.91 of operating cash (-$42.1M OCF vs $22.0M net income). Earnings that no cash stands behind rest on accounting accruals, which cannot be repeated indefinitely.

Interest Coverage Adequate
2.67x

Kratos Defense & Sec Solutions earns $2.67 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($25.6M vs $9.6M). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
