Rhea AI NWSAL FY2025

Reported earnings spiked, but cash conversion weakened as deleveraging and stronger short-term coverage reshaped the balance sheet.

FY2025 net income reached $1.18B while operating cash flow was $978M, so accounting earnings converted into less cash than the headline profit suggests. Free cash flow fell from $741M to $571M despite the much higher reported profit, making earnings quality the key interpretive issue.

Liabilities fell from $8.56B in FY2024 to $6.73B in FY2025, a balance-sheet contraction rather than growth funded by additional obligations. Debt-to-equity was 0.2x and the current ratio was 1.8x, pointing to lower leverage alongside stronger short-term coverage.

Capital expenditures reached $407M while free cash flow was $571M, showing that reinvestment consumed a meaningful share of internally generated cash. Selling, general and administrative expense reached $3.30B as revenue reached $8.45B, leaving no clear evidence that cost restraint drove the earnings improvement.
