Rhea AI NMFC FY2025 2026-05-04

FY2025 was defined by balance-sheet cash release, not earning power, as returns collapsed while leverage stayed roughly unchanged.

In FY2025, operating cash flow jumped to $379M while net income fell to $16.5M, a sharp break from the usual expectation that profit and cash move together. Financing outflows were almost the same as that cash inflow, and with equity ending at $1.18B, the surge looks more like balance-sheet turnover and capital returns than a stronger earnings base.

The payout policy has outrun accounting earnings for three straight years, including FY2025 when dividends paid were $136M against net income of only $16.5M. That repeated gap helps explain why retained earnings sank to -$121.7M even though cash ended the year near $80.7M.

Leverage looked stable at about 1.4x, but the capital structure actually weakened because equity absorbed much of the shrinkage: from FY2024 to FY2025, assets fell by roughly $344M while equity dropped about $171M. With ROE down to 1.4% from 8.4%, the issue was not more borrowing so much as far lower earnings on a still-leveraged base.
