What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 23.15%, rising 2.2pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 3.1pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 1.1pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.7pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.2pp remained a drag).

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

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 16.80%, rising 2.6pp. That translates to 16.80 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 2.3pp, with capital turnover broadly stable; while invested capital rose by 301bn.

Capital efficiency improved through NOPAT margin — this is a quality-led improvement when operating profit leads.

ROIC 16.80% +2.6pp
NOPAT Margin 23.03% +2.3pp
Capital Turnover 0.73x +0.05x
Average Invested Capital 2,452.9bn +301.2bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.34x equity, net debt at 0.16x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 19.1bn 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: −16.6bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −2.8bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +0.3bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle improved by 0.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 0.6 days, DSO rose 1.1 days, and DPO rose 1.3 days.

Working capital cycle is flat — components are offsetting each other.

Watchpoints

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +1.1 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 15.2% of total debt, cash equals 25.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 474.9bn.
