Rhea AI SYK FY2025

FY2025 shows fixed-cost leverage: sales growth translated into faster profit growth, while the balance sheet became more debt- and goodwill-heavy.

Revenue grew 11.2% in FY2025 while operating income grew 32.5%, revealing substantial operating leverage. Gross margin stayed near 64.0%, so the wider operating margin points to cost absorption or mix below gross profit rather than a clear change in product-level economics.

Operating cash flow was $5.0B against net income of $3.2B, meaning cash conversion exceeded one-for-one rather than merely tracking reported earnings. Free cash flow reached $4.3B after $761M of capital spending, leaving most operating cash available after reinvestment.

Debt-to-equity rose from 0.6x in FY2024 to 0.7x in FY2025, showing leverage increased even as equity also expanded. Interest expense rose from $396M to $582M while goodwill climbed, so balance-sheet expansion coincided with higher financing cost and greater reliance on goodwill.
