Rhea AI STE FY2026

Operating leverage is converting steady revenue growth into wider margins, stronger cash generation, and a progressively less debt-dependent balance sheet.

From FY2024 to FY2026, operating cash flow rose from $973M to $1.34B, indicating that profit growth was accompanied by cash rather than remaining mainly accrual-based. Capital expenditures were $369M in FY2026, close to $360M in FY2024, so free-cash-flow expansion reflects stronger internal cash production more than reduced reinvestment.

In FY2026, revenue grew 9.0% while operating income grew 27.2%, revealing operating leverage rather than simple top-line expansion. Operating margin reached 18.6%, up from 15.9% in FY2025, consistent with costs growing more slowly than sales; the data does not by itself distinguish cost discipline from mix.

Debt-to-equity fell from 0.5x in FY2024 to 0.3x in FY2026, while total liabilities declined, showing a less leveraged funding structure. Interest expense fell to $61M as equity reached $7.18B, reducing financing drag on earnings and leaving more operating performance visible in net income.
