Rhea AI NATH FY2026 2026-10-03

Sales are growing faster than profit: revenue reached $162M, yet gross profit fell to $55.5M, showing expansion currently adds sales faster than profit.

Margin compression spans the latest year: revenue rose from FY2025 to FY2026, but gross margin narrowed from 39.5% to 34.3%, showing sales growth came with materially worse unit economics. Operating income fell to $30.1M because added sales did not cover the higher cost burden, making this a profit-conversion problem rather than a sales-growth problem.

Cash conversion remained close in FY2026: operating cash flow and free cash flow were $18.2M and $17.9M, indicating reported cash generation was not being consumed by capital spending. The FCF margin fell from 16.9% to 11.0%, so cash output weakened relative to each sales dollar even while the cash-to-profit link remained close.

Balance-sheet structure remains unusual: liabilities exceeded assets in FY2026, leaving negative equity, so debt reduction has not yet repaired the book-capital position. Long-term debt fell to $45.7M, while the current ratio stayed at 2.5x, indicating less debt alongside still-positive short-term coverage.
