Rhea AI SAVA FY2025

The reported operation remains cash-consuming, while FY2025’s shrinking equity and higher liabilities made financing structure more consequential.

Cash conversion became highly non-linear: in FY2025, operating cash outflow was $32.3M versus a net loss of $91.0M, so earnings overstated the year's cash use. FY2024 showed the reverse pattern, with cash outflow and free cash flow each near $117.0M against a $24.3M loss, indicating that reported profit is a poor guide to near-term cash needs.

Short-term flexibility narrowed sharply: the current ratio fell from 11.6x to 2.2x between FY2024 and FY2025. Liabilities rose from $11.8M to $44.0M, while equity fell from $145.7M to $74.4M, leaving a thinner capital base behind those obligations.

Spending became more concentrated: R&D fell from $69.6M to $26.6M. That shift helped operating loss narrow from $141.4M to $95.4M, but SG&A changed little, so the improvement came mainly from one spending category rather than broad operating efficiency.
