Rhea AI LVO FY2025

Cash generation has improved, but LiveOne is still financing itself on a shrinking balance sheet rather than durable profits.

Over the last two fiscal years, operating cash flow stayed positive even as net loss widened to -$18.7M; that gap implies reported losses are being driven less by immediate cash outflow than by non-cash charges or working-capital release. The catch is that this better cash conversion sits beside only $4.1M of cash and a 0.4x current ratio, so the business is generating cash without creating much day-to-day flexibility.

FY2025 assets were unusually thin relative to obligations: goodwill alone was $21.7M out of total assets of $40.5M, leaving limited tangible backing for a company whose liabilities still exceed assets. That helps explain why free cash flow has not repaired the balance sheet yet; retained losses have accumulated faster than cash has been retained.

The operating setback in FY2025 was not mainly a sales collapse. Revenue slipped only modestly, but operating margin fell from -3.9% to -15.8%, which says the business became materially less efficient at turning sales into operating profit. With cash flow still positive, the tension visible in the statements is earnings quality versus liquidity: income is weak, cash is better, but the balance sheet remains tight.

Altman Z-Score Distress
-7.79

Liveone Inc scores -7.79, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($70.9M) relative to total liabilities ($59.3M). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.

Piotroski F-Score Partial
3/8

Liveone Inc passes 3 of 8 computable financial strength tests (1 of the nine could not be computed from available data). 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 2 leverage/liquidity signals pass, neither operating efficiency signal passes.

Earnings Quality Low Quality
0.50x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Liveone Inc generates $0.50 in operating cash flow (-$10.5M OCF vs -$21.0M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.

Interest Coverage At Risk
-51.6x

Liveone Inc earns $-51.6 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$15.5M vs $300K). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
