Rhea AI KZR FY2025

Development-stage operations consume cash through R&D while revenue remains too small to fund the operating model.

In FY2023, R&D spending reached $85.7M against $7.0M of revenue, while operating cash flow was -$81.6M; cash use therefore tracked development investment rather than a sales-funded operating base.

The FY2023 balance sheet was lightly debt-funded: liabilities were $33.7M against assets of $221.2M, with debt-to-equity at 0.1x. The reported financial pressure therefore came primarily from operating cash consumption, not interest-bearing leverage.

Some figures from recent filings were inconsistent and were omitted from this summary.
