Rhea AI MFAO FY2025

MFAO’s balance sheet is becoming more liability-funded while cash generation trails reported earnings.

Net income rose 48.2% from FY2024 to FY2025 even as operating cash flow fell 61.9%. That divergence left operating cash flow at 43.1% of net income, indicating reported earnings converted into cash less fully.

Liabilities reached $11.2B, equal to 86.0% of assets, leaving little equity cushion relative to the balance sheet. Liabilities-to-equity rose from 5.2x in FY2024 to 6.1x in FY2025, indicating new balance-sheet growth was increasingly creditor-financed.

Revenue grew only 2.9% in FY2025, yet net margin expanded 7.3 percentage points, showing earnings improvement outpaced business volume. SG&A fell 11.4% while interest expense edged down 1.4%, pointing to expense control and financing-cost relief rather than volume-driven expansion.
