What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, BBS posted slightly higher revenue but margins narrowed — the two forces offset each other, leaving the overall picture largely unchanged — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. What remains unclear is which side will dominate in coming periods.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE is broadly flat at 7.1% — the components are offsetting one another.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin narrowed to 1.66%, falling 0.4pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 2.5pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 1.3pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.3pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 0.1pp).
The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.

Is capital being used efficiently?
Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC stands at 3.36%, broadly flat versus the same period. That translates to 3.36 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. NOPAT margin narrowed 0.5pp, but capital turnover rose 0.52x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — the two factors are offsetting each other, keeping overall ROIC nearly unchanged.
Overall ROIC is flat while internal components are moving — watch which side becomes dominant in coming periods.
Watchpoints
ROIC is currently 3.36% — 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
Capital structure is balanced — liabilities at 1.44x equity, net debt at 0.95x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 50.8bn, roughly 19.1% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 19.2bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables. Pressure from higher inventories and lower payables only partly offset that benefit.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 47.1 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 11.9 days, DSO fell 46.1 days, and DPO fell 10.9 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.
Watchpoints
CCC stands at 149.8 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.95x and interest coverage only at 1.44x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 2.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 106.7bn.
Watchpoints
Interest coverage is 1.44x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% 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 14.3bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -7.7bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +6.6bn. Financing cash flow was negative +5.4bn.
CFO / net income was 4.98x.
After spending +7.7bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +31.1bn.

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 earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 4.98x. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 3.4%.
Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 4.98x.
Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
