Rhea AI KZR FY2025 2026-04-30

FY2025 shows a cash-funded development model becoming leaner, as R&D retrenchment rather than sales supports the smaller loss.

The key shift is cash burn now tracking R&D more closely: operating cash outflow improved from -$81.6M in FY2023 to -$51.8M in FY2025. Over the same span, R&D spending fell from $85.7M to $33.8M, which means the narrower loss reflects a smaller development program rather than a business beginning to self-fund.

With $71.9M of cash against just $6.6M of total liabilities, the balance sheet is now mostly liquidity and very little leverage. Because operating cash outflow was -$51.8M, that cash covers only about 1.4 years of FY2025 burn unless spending falls again or capital is replenished.

FY2025 earnings quality was straightforward: net loss of -$56.0M and operating cash outflow of -$51.8M were close, so the loss largely represented real cash use rather than accounting noise. With long-term debt down from $5.1M to $0, the remaining pressure is financing research activity, not servicing creditors.
