Rhea AI NWSAL FY2025 2026-04-22

FY2025 profit expanded on paper, but cash conversion and balance-sheet repair reveal a steadier, less dramatic operating reality.

Between FY2024 and FY2025, net income jumped from $266M to $1.18B, yet operating cash flow and free cash flow both moved lower. That mismatch implies the latest profit surge was less cash-backed than the year before, so reported earnings improved much faster than the business turned revenue into spendable cash.

Liquidity strengthened while leverage eased: cash climbed to $2.40B as total liabilities fell to $6.73B. With a current ratio of 1.8x and debt-to-equity at 22.1%, the company looks more self-funded and less dependent on balance-sheet stretch than it did a year earlier.

Capital intensity remains moderate, not the main constraint: FY2025 capital spending was $407M against $978M of operating cash flow. That means the squeeze on free cash flow came more from weaker cash conversion than from heavy reinvestment, which helps explain why a much larger profit figure did not produce more cash for buybacks, dividends, or debt reduction.
