Rhea AI RBCN FY2022

Rubicon's recent profit rebound sits inside a much smaller balance sheet, showing a business financed more by reserves than cash generation.

Over the last several years, revenue stayed near $4M while year-end cash finished FY2022 at just $1.6M. Total assets also shrank to $6.0M from $35.8M, so the company’s scale hardly changed while its balance-sheet cushion was consumed.

FY2022 delivered a gross margin of 40.1% and a net margin of 26.1%. But operating cash flow was -$521K, making the profit-cash mismatch more important than the headline profit and pointing to weaker earnings quality than net income alone suggests.

Equity fell to $3.2M from $29.4M in FY2022. That left debt far more consequential, with debt to equity moving to 0.5x from 0.05x. Liquidity at 2.4x current assets to current liabilities is still positive, but it no longer reflects the exceptionally cash-rich posture visible in earlier years.

Profitability
39

Rubicon Technology Inc has an operating margin of 16.3%, meaning the company retains $16 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 39/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from -11.4% the prior year.

Growth
33

Rubicon Technology Inc's revenue declined 11.7% year-over-year, from $4.1M to $3.6M. This contraction results in a growth score of 33/100.

Leverage
92

Rubicon Technology Inc carries a low D/E ratio of 0.49, meaning only $0.49 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 92/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity
45

Rubicon Technology Inc's current ratio of 2.42 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 45/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.

Returns
40

Rubicon Technology Inc's ROE of 29.2% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 40/100. This is up from -2.5% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Distress
-68.78

Rubicon Technology Inc scores -68.78, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($35.6M) relative to total liabilities ($2.8M). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral
4/9

Rubicon Technology Inc passes 4 of 9 financial strength tests. 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), both operating efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Low Quality
-0.56x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Rubicon Technology Inc generates $-0.56 in operating cash flow (-$521K OCF vs $935K net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.

Interest Coverage Safe
15.0x

Rubicon Technology Inc earns $15.0 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($585K vs $39K). This wide margin provides strong safety for debt servicing, even if earnings decline temporarily.
