What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, ADP is in an offsetting state — revenue softened slightly but margins improved — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. What is still missing is a signal strong enough to tilt this picture clearly in either direction.

Drivers of ADP's profit

TTM

Net profit attributable to parent declined vs last year, mainly due to lower gross profit. Supporting and offsetting drivers:

Administrative expenses ↓ 16.0bn
Selling expenses ↓ 5.6bn
Tax ↓ 3.4bn
Gross profit ↓ 38.8bn

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 28.0% = 9.9% × 2.14 × 1.32
2026Q1 24.4% = 11.6% × 1.65 × 1.28

ROE fell from 28.0% to 24.4% — asset turnover weakened the most, though net margin still provided support.

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 11.61%, rising 1.7pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 1.2pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 0.8pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.3pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.1pp remained a drag).

The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

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 0.31x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.04x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 120.5bn, roughly 34.7% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 4.9bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower inventories. Pressure from higher receivables and lower payables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −3.3bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +27.7bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −19.4bn

Working Capital Efficiency

The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 27.1 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 20.3 days, DSO rose 13.0 days, and DPO rose 6.2 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 94.3 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +13.0 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 91.5bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.04x and interest coverage at 41.62x.

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

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 91.5bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -26.7bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +64.9bn. Financing cash flow was negative +59.1bn.

CFO / net income was 1.31x.

Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.

Cash capex or FCF data is incomplete, so the cash-conversion view is only partial.

Investment Takeaway

The business is balanced but not yet fully stable — some components are moving the right way while others still need monitoring. This is a state to keep watching, with not enough signal to tilt the thesis either way. The brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 1.7 pp. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 11.61% after expanding 1.7pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
