Rhea AI UHS FY2025

Cash conversion has strengthened alongside deleveraging, while reinvestment and working-capital demands keep reported profit from fully becoming free cash flow.

Between FY2021 and FY2025, operating cash flow climbed from $884M to $1.9B, indicating that reported earnings became more cash-realized over the period. In FY2025, net income of $1.5B exceeded free cash flow of $849M, so capital reinvestment absorbed a meaningful portion of the cash produced.

Operating margin recovered from 7.5% in FY2022 to 11.5% in FY2025, making the recent profit improvement an operating-margin shift rather than simple top-line expansion. Debt-to-equity fell from 0.8x in FY2022 to 0.6x in FY2025, so that improvement coincided with lower balance-sheet dependence.

Current liquidity cushion narrowed as the current ratio moved from 1.4x in FY2023 to 1.1x in FY2025, despite stronger operating cash flow. FY2025 receivables of $2.6B and capital expenditures of $1.0B show cash being absorbed by working capital and reinvestment while shareholder distributions continued.
