Rhea AI MTH FY2025

Profit remains positive, but returns have fallen sharply as the asset base expanded and cash conversion weakened before recovering.

In FY2025, net income of $453M produced operating cash flow of only $118M, showing that reported earnings were not yet converting fully into cash. This followed FY2024, when positive earnings coincided with operating cash flow of -$228M, so cash generation has been uneven rather than consistently tracking accounting profit.

Assets expanded from $4.8B in FY2021 to $7.6B in FY2025, increasing the capital base. Over that span, return on assets fell from 15.3% to 5.9%, indicating that the larger balance sheet has produced less earnings per dollar invested.

Debt-to-equity improved to 0.4 in FY2023 before rising to 0.5 in FY2025, while liabilities increased from $1.7B in FY2021 to $2.4B in FY2025. FY2025 buybacks of $295M and dividends of $121M therefore occurred alongside higher leverage and cash generation that was modest relative to profit.
