What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, BCF shows mild improvement in both revenue and margins, but the magnitude of change is narrow — margins have been expanding consistently over multiple periods. This signal only becomes convincing if the improvement widens in coming periods.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 26.6% = 13.9% × 1.37 × 1.39
2026Q1 26.4% = 14.7% × 1.15 × 1.56

ROE is broadly flat at 26.4% — the components are offsetting one another.

Net margin: 14.7% +0.8pp Asset turnover: 1.15x -0.22x Leverage: 1.56x +0.17x

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 edged up to 14.66%, rising 0.8pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 2.7pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.6pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.5pp and Other profit / Revenue fell 0.1pp).

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

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency is declining — check whether the drag is from margins or turnover.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC fell to 19.48%, losing 2.8pp. That translates to 19.48 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from capital turnover fell 0.29x — capital is being absorbed faster than revenue is being generated; while invested capital expanded strongly by 119bn.

Pressure came from turnover — added capital has not been absorbed quickly enough, a typical investment-cycle dynamic.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

ROIC 19.48% −2.8pp
NOPAT Margin 14.42% +0.9pp
Capital Turnover 1.35x −0.29x
Average Invested Capital 584.5bn +119.2bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.72x equity, net debt at 0.36x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 118.4bn, roughly 15.8% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.0bn of cash.

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 6.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 6.5 days, DSO rose 4.2 days, and DPO rose 4.0 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 92.9 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +4.2 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 26.7bn due to capex of 120.3bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.36x and interest coverage at 15.37x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 39.1% of total debt, cash equals 22.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 213.5bn.

Watchpoints

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 22.5%, 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 100.5bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -146.0bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +45.5bn. Financing cash flow was positive +11.8bn.

CFO / net income was 0.81x.

After spending +120.3bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −26.7bn.

FCF TTM −26.7bn −45.3bn

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 earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 0.81x. The main risk still sits in self-funded cash generation remains weak.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 0.81x.

Key risk: self-funded cash generation remains weak, with trailing-12M FCF still at 26.7bn.
