Rhea AI SG FY2025

In FY2025, margin reversal and heavier capital spending turned a recovery path back into sharp cash burn.

The non-obvious shift is that FY2025 reversed the prior cash-conversion repair, rather than simply extending a steady loss trend. With revenue essentially flat, gross margin fell from 19.6% to 15.2%, which was enough to push operating cash flow back below zero after FY2024 and, with higher capex, deepen free-cash burn.

FY2023 to FY2024 suggested fixed-cost absorption: revenue expanded while SG&A stayed around $150M, so the operating loss narrowed. FY2025 broke that pattern because gross profit dollars fell by almost $29.4M even though SG&A declined, pointing to pressure in core unit economics rather than overhead creep.

The balance sheet is no longer cushioned by earlier cash reserves: cash dropped to $89.2M from $214.8M in one year, and the current ratio compressed to 1.1x. With capital spending at $106.5M and operating cash flow negative, liquidity now depends much more on execution than on excess balance-sheet cash; shrinking equity also leaves less buffer under a similar liability load.

Profitability
30

Sweetgreen Inc has an operating margin of -20.5%, meaning the company retains $-21 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 30/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is down from -14.1% the prior year.

Growth
60

Sweetgreen Inc's revenue grew a modest 0.4% year-over-year to $679.5M. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 60/100.

Leverage
43

Sweetgreen Inc has a moderate D/E ratio of 1.21. This balance of debt and equity financing earns a leverage score of 43/100.

Liquidity
23

Sweetgreen Inc's current ratio of 1.09 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 23/100. However, the company holds substantial cash reserves (75% of current liabilities), which buffers actual liquidity risk. Large mature operators often run tight current ratios by design.

Cash Flow
14

While Sweetgreen Inc generated -$12.7M in operating cash flow, capex of $106.5M consumed most of it, leaving -$119.2M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 14/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns
36

Sweetgreen Inc's ROE of -37.6% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 36/100. This is down from -20.3% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Distress
-0.17

Sweetgreen Inc scores -0.17, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($958.9M) relative to total liabilities ($432.0M). 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
2/7

Sweetgreen Inc passes 2 of 7 computable financial strength tests (2 of the nine could not be computed from available data). 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
0.09x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Sweetgreen Inc generates $0.09 in operating cash flow (-$12.7M OCF vs -$134.1M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.

Interest Coverage At Risk
-7332.5x

Sweetgreen Inc earns $-7332.5 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense (-$139.3M vs $19K). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
