Rhea AI SOHU FY2025

Reported profit rebounded on non-operating mechanics, while the core business still consumed cash and carried a lighter balance sheet.

FY2025's swing to net income after FY2024's loss did not reflect an operating turnaround: operating income remained near -$94M and operating cash flow stayed slightly negative at -$5M. The decisive bridge was a tax benefit of $444M, so the gap between reported earnings and cash widened rather than closed.

Gross margin recovery to 77.5% from 72.3% did not rescue profitability on its own. R&D spending stayed large at $248M, suggesting the business still carries a sizable fixed cost base relative to revenue just under $600M.

Balance-sheet pressure eased as total liabilities fell to $358M and debt-to-equity moved down to 0.3x. But buybacks still ran at $54M while free cash flow stayed slightly negative, showing capital was used to shrink the share base rather than rebuild a large cash buffer.
