Rhea AI STRL FY2025

Sterling’s profit engine has been shifting toward higher-margin work, while cash still funds growth without leaning on debt.

From FY2021 to FY2025, gross margin climbed from 14.4% to 23.0%. Because SG&A took a slightly larger share of revenue over the same span, the improvement points to better gross economics at the project level rather than simple overhead cuts.

FY2025 looks less like weakening cash generation than a capital deployment year: operating cash flow remained $440.0M, but cash fell after $551.9M of investing outflows. With goodwill jumping to $585.2M, part of the larger revenue base appears tied to acquired assets, which makes the business bigger without saying every bit of growth was organic.

Balance-sheet quality improved materially across the period, with debt-to-equity falling from 1.2x to 0.2x and retained earnings building the equity base. The catch is short-term flexibility: the current ratio narrowed to 1.0x, so the company is less debt-dependent but also carrying less near-term liquidity cushion than a year earlier.
