Rhea AI ONTO FY2026

A cash-rich, low-debt operating model lets Onto convert steady sales into strong free cash flow despite margin compression.

Revenue stayed near $1.0B from FY2024 to FY2026, but operating margin compressed from 19.0% to 13.2%. Free cash flow still reached $300M while capex was only $29M, so the recent pressure looked more like weaker expense absorption than a deterioration in the company’s cash economics.

With $346M of cash against $267M of total liabilities, the company is operating from a net-cash balance sheet rather than leaning on creditors. Its liquidity cushion is also unusually wide at 5.8x current ratio, which means short-term obligations are funded internally and margin swings matter more than refinancing.

Gross margin slipped to 49.7% while SG&A plus R&D rose to $239M, so a roughly flat sales base could not cover a larger overhead load. Goodwill reached $644M, which makes the asset base more intangible-heavy and hints that part of the company’s scale-up came through acquisitions rather than only internal build-out.
