Rhea AI ZTO FY2025 2026-04-22

Revenue is scaling faster than margins, but cash conversion and a lighter balance-sheet posture show the operating model still strengthening.

From FY2023 to FY2025, gross margin fell from 30.4% to 25.0%. Even so, operating cash flow stayed above net income and free cash flow remained around $966M in FY2025, which implies growth is not being financed by a big buildup in receivables or inventory even as the company handles more volume.

FY2025 cash on hand fell to $1.43B, but that looks more like capital deployment than operating strain: financing outflows were $1.51B while equity increased and liabilities declined. The lower debt-to-equity ratio and stronger current ratio mean the business ended the year more flexible than FY2024 despite the smaller cash balance.

Capex was $746M against $1.71B of operating cash flow in FY2025, so reinvestment is meaningful but not consuming the engine. Because assets rose much more slowly than revenue over the last two years, return on assets still held near 10.0% even after margin compression, pointing to better asset utilization rather than richer pricing.
