Rhea AI RBCN FY2022

FY2022's reported profit was overshadowed by a balance-sheet contraction and cash outflow, making operations look smaller rather than stronger.

Between FY2021 and FY2022, operating margin swung from -11.4% to 16.3%, yet operating cash flow stayed negative at -$521K. Even with positive net income, that gap implies the reported rebound came with working-capital drag or other noncash items, so the business still relied on balance-sheet actions rather than internally generated cash.

The margin recovery was not a scale story: revenue slipped to $3.6M while gross margin rose to 40.1%. When margins improve as sales shrink, the cleaner explanation is mix or cost change, not fixed-cost absorption from higher volume.

The sharper change was on the balance sheet, where total assets fell to $6.0M from $31.0M in one year. With investing cash inflow of $16.7M and financing outflow of -$25.8M, FY2022 looks driven by asset monetization and capital movements more than by recurring operations. That means the key operating constraint is a much smaller resource base, not a debt-heavy capital structure.

Financial Health Signals

Financial health score not available

Rubicon Technology Inc does not currently provide enough eligible data for a peer-relative financial health score, so none is published. The signals and metrics below are current.

Altman Z-Score Distress
-63.27

Rubicon Technology Inc scores -63.27, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($61.0M) relative to total liabilities ($2.8M). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

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

Piotroski F-Score Partial
4/8

Rubicon Technology Inc passes 4 of 8 computable financial strength tests (1 of the nine could not be computed from available data). 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 No Cash Backing

For every $1 of reported earnings, Rubicon Technology Inc used $0.56 of operating cash (-$521K OCF vs $935K net income). Earnings that no cash stands behind rest on accounting accruals, which cannot be repeated indefinitely.

Interest Coverage Safe
15.00x

Rubicon Technology Inc earns $15.00 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.
