Rhea AI SEED FY2025 2026-04-22

Origin Agritech’s shrinking gross-profit pool no longer covers overhead and reinvestment, turning reported progress into renewed cash dependence.

FY2023 and FY2024 reported profits, but both years still produced negative operating and free cash flow; the brief earnings recovery did not actually fund the business. By FY2025, gross margin fell to 7.0% while SG&A plus R&D stayed near $7.5M, showing that the latest loss came from core economics thinning out, not just from a one-off financing or accounting swing.

Balance-sheet repair has been partial: negative equity improved from FY2023, yet FY2025 still ended with liabilities above assets by $3.3M. Because free cash flow was -$4.8M, the year depended on external funding rather than cash generated by operations.

Cost absorption weakened sharply: revenue fell from $16.2M to $12.8M, and the company kept much less of each sale after direct costs. Gross profit shrank to $900K and inventory still rose, a combination that ties up cash even as the sales base contributes less to paying fixed expenses.

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Origin Agritech's business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Growth

Origin Agritech's revenue declined 20.6% year-over-year, from $16.2M to $12.8M. This contraction results in a growth score of 32/100.

Leverage

Origin Agritech carries a low D/E ratio of -0.45, meaning only $-0.45 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.

Cash Flow

While Origin Agritech generated -$3.2M in operating cash flow, capex of $1.6M consumed most of it, leaving -$4.8M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 0/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Piotroski F-Score Weak

2/9

Origin Agritech passes 2 of 9 financial strength tests. 1 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), 1 of 2 efficiency signals pass.

Earnings Quality Low Quality

0.43x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Origin Agritech generates $0.43 in operating cash flow (-$3.2M OCF vs -$7.5M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.
