Rhea AI SMA FY2025

Growth is being absorbed by higher operating costs while asset expansion relies heavily on external financing rather than internally generated cash.

Revenue grew 18.6% in FY2025, but operating margin fell to 21.0%. That divergence, alongside SG&A rising to $38M from $30M, points to cost absorption—not simple volume-led operating leverage—as the main constraint.

Operating cash flow was $85.0M despite a net loss of $1.7M in FY2025. With depreciation and amortization at $73.2M, the gap indicates property-heavy accounting charges are a major reason cash generation exceeds reported earnings.

Debt-to-equity fell from 4.2x in FY2024 to 1.0x in FY2025, a capital-structure reset rather than earnings-driven deleveraging. Meanwhile, investing cash flow was -$381M and financing cash flow was $325M, indicating asset deployment was funded predominantly outside operating cash generation.
