Rhea AI OCC FY2025 2026-10-22

FY2025 shows a volume recovery with margin repair, but working-capital pressure leaves less balance-sheet cushion.

Revenue was only 1.2% above FY2023 while gross margin recovered to 30.9% from 27.3% in FY2024, pointing to repaired product economics rather than growth alone. Operating cash flow of $1.4M nearly matched the $1.5M net loss, versus negative operating cash flow in FY2024; the gap to free cash flow reflects capital spending and working-capital movement, not positive earnings.

FY2025 SG&A consumed 31.4% of revenue at $23.0M, leaving the company with an operating loss despite its gross-profit recovery. Because SG&A rose 8.2% from FY2023 while revenue rose only 1.2%, scale has not yet translated into durable operating profitability.

The balance sheet has less cushion than in FY2021: the current ratio fell from 4.5x to 1.8x by FY2025. Inventory stood at $19.8M against current liabilities of $16.9M, so near-term flexibility depends materially on converting stock into sales rather than simply holding liquid resources.

Financial Health Signals

Financial Health Score (5 of 6 dimensions) 58/100

Scored as: Emerging companies peer group

Scored against emerging companies for FY2025. Each of the six dimensions is a percentile rank within that peer group, and the overall is the average of the dimensions that can be computed: here 5 of 6, with the others left out rather than counted as zero. A high score means strong standing among peers, not absolute cross-industry strength. How this score is calculated →

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Optical Cable Corp.'s business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Altman Z-Score Safe

5.70

Optical Cable Corp. scores 5.70, well above the 2.99 safe threshold. The largest contribution to the score comes from a market capitalization of $106.8M against total liabilities of $18.5M. This indicates low bankruptcy risk based on profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency.

Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.

Piotroski F-Score Partial

5/8

Optical Cable Corp. passes 5 of 8 computable financial strength tests (1 of the nine could not be computed from available data). 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Mixed

N/A

Optical Cable Corp. reported a net loss of $1.5M while generating $1.4M in operating cash flow. Operations generated cash despite the loss, but with no positive earnings behind it, the ratio between the two carries no quality signal.

Interest Coverage At Risk

N/A

Optical Cable Corp. reported an operating loss of $450K against $1.0M in interest expense. There is no operating profit to cover interest, so interest must be met from cash reserves or from financing rather than from operations.
