Rhea AI NKTX FY2025

Nkarta’s dominant mechanic is recurring R&D-led cash consumption, supported by equity financing rather than debt.

From FY2023 to FY2025, R&D spending eased from $96.8M to $90.4M, yet operating cash outflow stayed near $86.2M to $88.7M. In FY2025, free cash flow nearly matched operating cash flow as capital expenditures fell to $1.2M, indicating that cash consumption is now primarily the operating development model rather than major facility investment.

The balance sheet is lightly debt-funded: FY2025 liabilities were $91.9M against $312.3M of equity, producing a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.3x. A reported liquidity comparison of 39.6 months of annual operating outflow further points to financing pressure being more tied to continued capital access than creditor claims.

Equity financing supplied $226.1M in FY2024 but only $141K in FY2025. With assets falling from $501.2M to $404.2M, the later balance-sheet movement indicates previously raised capital was being consumed rather than replenished through new financing.
