What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, ADC is declining across multiple metrics versus the same period, suggesting current pressure is not coming from just one side. What remains unclear is whether the business can stabilize before this trend deepens.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 16.7% = 3.5% × 2.73 × 1.76
2026Q1 13.9% = 3.2% × 2.34 × 1.85

ROE fell from 16.7% to 13.9% — asset turnover weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: 3.2% -0.3pp Asset turnover: 2.34x -0.39x Leverage: 1.85x +0.09x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.

What is driving the margin?

Net margin stands at 3.21%, broadly flat versus the same period. Supportive factors and pressure points are offsetting one another.

Margin is nearly flat but the underlying components are moving — this is a transitional phase, more time is needed to see the real trend.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency should be read in industry context — ROIC may fluctuate with business specifics.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.

Industry characteristics make ROIC cyclical — this is a reference signal and should be read with the business context.

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 1.25x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.10x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 44.3bn, roughly 23.1% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 3.7bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories. Part of that drag was offset by higher payables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −16.2bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −12.1bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +24.6bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 3.6 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 14.3 days, DSO rose 5.3 days, and DPO rose 23.2 days.

Extended payment timing is the main driver — consider whether this trades off supplier relationships.

Watchpoints

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +5.3 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +14.3 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Cash Conversion Cycle 11.9 days −3.6 days

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Track net leverage, interest coverage, and the liquidity buffer on the balance sheet.

Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.

Some leverage signals are missing, so the current read should be treated as contextual.

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow reached -1.8bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -3.4bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +5.2bn. Financing cash flow was negative +5.9bn.

CFO / net income was 0.43x.

After spending +2.9bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +2.2bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Capex 2.9bn +1.6bn
FCF TTM +2.2bn −16.2bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is under real pressure, but the current picture has not turned broadly adverse. A notable area has clearly weakened, making the near-term outlook hard to call bright; even so, other parts of the business are still holding up, with some core pressures remaining the main constraint. The next watchpoint is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 15.2%. The main offsetting support comes from balance-sheet flexibility, with net cash/equity at about -0.10x.

Improvement: the balance sheet remains flexible, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.10x of equity.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 15.2% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.43x.
