What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, ALT has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — profit is at an all-time high. Profit growth is driven mainly by better operations rather than scale expansion — a foundation that tends to be more durable.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 1.6% to 5.8% — all three components improved, with asset turnover contributing the most.
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 2.89%, rising 2.0pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 2.3pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 1.0pp (with additional support from Other profit / Revenue rose 0.1pp and Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.1pp).
The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Is capital being used efficiently?
Return on capital rose, but cash cycle lengthened by 3.9 days — working capital needs watching.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 4.99%, rising 3.5pp. That translates to 4.99 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 2.0pp, with capital turnover broadly stable; with invested capital holding roughly steady.
NOPAT margin is the main cushion preventing ROIC from slipping as invested capital keeps expanding — the quality of this improvement depends on whether margin holds once the new capital is fully deployed.
Watchpoints
ROIC is currently 4.99% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Balance Sheet
ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.58x equity, net debt at 0.25x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 37.1bn, roughly 10.5% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 5.8bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower inventories. Pressure from lower payables 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 3.9 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 1.2 days, DSO fell 3.5 days, and DPO fell 8.7 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to shorter payment timing — may reflect pressure from suppliers.
Watchpoints
CCC is up by +3.9 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage is balanced for now, with net debt / equity at 0.25x and interest coverage at 3.02x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 86.9% of total debt, cash equals 22.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 71.9bn.
Watchpoints
Short-term debt accounts for 86.9% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.
Cash / debt stands at 22.2%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 21.7bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -32.2bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +10.5bn. Financing cash flow was positive +6.9bn.
CFO / net income was 3.44x.
After spending +38.8bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +5.2bn.

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 2.0 pp. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 5.0%.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 2.89% after expanding 2.0pp versus the same period last year.
Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
