Rhea AI CLST FY2025 2026-04-22

A large balance sheet with thin asset returns drives results, while cash flow stays steadier than reported profit.

From FY2024 to FY2025, operating cash flow stayed near $3.2M and $3.3M. Over the same span, net income swung from -$3.1M to $2.1M, showing profit volatility layered on a steadier cash engine rather than a wholesale change in operating capacity.

With $282.9M of assets supporting only $13.9M of revenue, this is a balance-sheet business where small changes in returns on assets can move earnings sharply. That is why a modest 0.7% return on assets still translated into a higher 2.5% return on equity, and why margin-style reading is less useful than watching asset efficiency.

The company has been shrinking the share base: shares outstanding fell from 5.29M to 4.07M over the period. Because retained earnings stayed around $52M while total equity finished at $81.7M, some of the improvement in per-share results came from buybacks and a smaller capital base, not from a much larger enterprise.
