Rhea AI WES FY2025 2026-05-06

Cash-heavy operations kept strengthening even as FY2025 margin compression showed growth carried a heavier cost base.

In FY2025, operating cash flow rose to $2.22B while net income fell to $1.18B, so the earnings slowdown did not become a cash slowdown. With gross margin still near 94.6% and operating margin down to 41.7%, the squeeze sat mostly below direct operating costs rather than in the core revenue engine.

Balance-sheet flexibility improved across the last three years: the current ratio moved from 0.8x in FY2023 to 1.3x in FY2025. At the same time, debt to equity eased from 2.4x to 2.0x. Long-term debt still reached $8.20B, which implies equity and liquid assets expanded fast enough to keep leverage from tightening further.

Capital returns are being expressed mainly through cash payouts, not repurchases. In FY2025, dividends paid were $1.43B and buybacks were $0. Against operating cash flow of $2.22B, that tells you the business is set up to distribute a large share of cash generation even when accounting profit is more volatile.
