Rhea AI XNET FY2025

Xunlei’s dominant mechanic is a sharp 2025 earnings-to-cash disconnect: reported profit surged, while operating economics remained modest.

In FY2025, net income reached $1.05B while operating cash flow was only $32.5M, indicating that reported profitability was not converted into comparable cash generation. Operating income was just $6.6M, reinforcing that the earnings spike likely came from below-the-line or non-cash factors that these tables do not identify.

The revenue rebound from $323.1M in FY2024 to $460.4M in FY2025 came with gross-margin compression from 51.9% to 47.3%, so the improvement was more volume-led than margin-led. Still, operating margin recovered from -4.9% to 1.4%, as the larger gross-profit base absorbed operating costs.

The balance sheet expanded far faster than sales: assets rose from $473.9M to $1.63B, while equity increased from $318.1M to $1.37B. With liabilities at $259.4M and debt-to-equity at 0.03x, the expansion appears primarily equity-funded rather than debt-funded, although current-ratio liquidity moderated to 1.9x.

Profitability
28

Xunlei Ltd has an operating margin of 1.4%, meaning the company retains $1 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 28/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is up from -4.9% the prior year.

Growth
71

Xunlei Ltd's revenue surged 42.5% year-over-year to $460.4M, reflecting rapid business expansion. This strong growth earns a score of 71/100.

Leverage
99

Xunlei Ltd carries a low D/E ratio of 0.03, meaning only $0.03 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 99/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity
55

Xunlei Ltd's current ratio of 1.92 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 55/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.

Cash Flow
53

Altman Z-Score Grey Zone
1.95

Xunlei Ltd scores 1.95, placing it in the grey zone between 1.81 and 2.99. This signals moderate financial risk that warrants monitoring.

Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral
4/9

Xunlei Ltd passes 4 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, neither operating efficiency signal passes.

Earnings Quality Low Quality
0.03x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Xunlei Ltd generates $0.03 in operating cash flow ($32.5M OCF vs $1.0B net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.

Interest Coverage Adequate
3.90x

Xunlei Ltd earns $3.90 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($6.6M vs $1.7M). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
