What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, AAA posted a sharp profit increase versus the same period, suggesting a clear improvement from a low base — profit is at an all-time high. The point still to be proven is whether this new profit level can hold once the low-base effect fades.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 3.2% to 8.5% — mainly driven by leverage, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin expanded to 5.74%, rising 4.3pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 3.4pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.1pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 1.2pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.0pp remained a drag).
The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Is capital being used efficiently?
Return on capital rose, but cash cycle lengthened by 15.2 days — working capital needs watching.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 6.87%, rising 4.1pp. That translates to 6.87 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 4.3pp, with capital turnover fell 0.74x; while invested capital rose by 551bn.
NOPAT margin is driving the improvement — ROIC has cleared the deposit-rate threshold but not yet the typical cost of equity level, and this momentum needs to hold as new invested capital is fully deployed.

Balance Sheet
ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 1.12x equity, net debt at 0.26x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 458.3bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower inventories and higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables only partly offset that benefit.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 15.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 17.2 days, DSO rose 8.3 days, and DPO rose 10.3 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.
Watchpoints
CCC is up by +15.2 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.
DSO increased by +8.3 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?
Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 20.8bn due to capex of 1,196.2bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.26x and interest coverage at 5.63x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 62.8% of total debt, cash equals 46.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 3,031.1bn.
Watchpoints
Short-term debt accounts for 62.8% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 977.8bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -1,505.1bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +527.3bn. Financing cash flow was negative +287.0bn.
CFO / net income was 2.50x.
After spending +1,196.2bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −20.8bn.

Investment Takeaway
The business is heading the right way, but the current picture is still at partial confirmation — not yet a fully clean case. The positive points have clearly improved, showing the operating base is better than before. The brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 4.3 pp. Warning and risk signals are not yet decisive enough to shift the picture.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 5.74% after expanding 4.3pp versus the same period last year.
