Rhea AI OUSTW FY2025

Revenue scale is improving gross economics, yet heavier reinvestment keeps cash conversion firmly negative.

Gross margin climbed from 36.4% in FY2024 to 49.3% in FY2025, showing that growth came with a materially better gross-profit structure. Yet operating cash flow was -$40.0M and free cash flow was -$64.8M, so improved gross profitability has not translated into self-funded operations; the lower free cash flow indicates additional cash demands below operations, including capital spending.

Revenue expanded 52.5% in FY2025, increasing operating scale. Operating margin improved from -93.8% to -43.7%, showing that much of the added gross profit reached operations even though operating break-even was not reached.

Short-term balance-sheet coverage improved as the current ratio rose from 2.8x to 3.9x, despite negative cash generation. Financing cash flow supplied $97.6M while shares outstanding increased, consistent with external capital supporting expansion while operations remained cash-negative.
