Rhea AI OUSTW FY2025

Revenue growth is finally producing much better gross economics, while cash burn now reflects heavier reinvestment more than collapsing margins.

The latest year's operating improvement did not translate into better free cash flow: FCF moved to -$64.8M from -$37.5M. Capital spending jumped to $24.9M from $3.8M, so more of the cash drain came from reinvestment even as the operating loss narrowed.

Gross margin reached 49.3% after sitting at 10.0% two years earlier, a sharp change in unit economics. Operating margin also improved from -93.8% to -43.7%, which suggests more gross profit is covering the cost base rather than the company merely cutting expenses.

Liquidity improved on the surface, with cash rising to $67.4M from $45.5M while current liabilities edged down. A 3.9x current ratio says near-term bills are not the immediate pressure point; the harder task is converting better margins into cash the business can generate on its own.
