What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, CKD has not accelerated revenue, but profitability is improving more visibly — profit is at an all-time high. However, a significant portion of profit is supported by non-core sources, making the picture not entirely clear.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 20.4% = 8.3% × 1.17 × 2.11
2026Q1 21.4% = 9.4% × 0.91 × 2.50

ROE rose from 20.4% to 21.4% — mainly driven by leverage, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 9.4% +1.2pp Asset turnover: 0.91x -0.26x Leverage: 2.50x +0.39x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins improved (+1.2pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin edged up to 9.44%, rising 1.2pp. Core operating signals are improving as SG&A / Revenue fell 1.9pp are enough to offset pressure from Gross margin fell 2.1pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 1.0pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 0.3pp).

Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.

Profitability trend

Net Margin 9.44% +1.2pp
Gross Margin 8.32% −2.1pp
SG&A / Revenue 5.22% −1.9pp
Non-core / Revenue 6.89% +1.3pp

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Financial result accounts for 69.0% of PBT and lifted net margin by 1.3pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC narrowed to 15.29%, falling 1.0pp. That translates to 15.29 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Although NOPAT margin rose 0.9pp, capital turnover fell 0.28x still pulled ROIC lower, while invested capital rose by 109bn.

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

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 15.29% −1.0pp
NOPAT Margin 9.33% +0.9pp
Capital Turnover 1.64x −0.28x
Average Invested Capital 778.7bn +108.6bn

Balance Sheet

Capital structure is balanced — liabilities at 1.66x equity, net debt at 0.59x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 156.2bn, roughly 10.1% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 46.9bn of cash, mainly thanks to higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables and higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −258.9bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −7.5bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +313.4bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 18.6 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 13.2 days, DSO rose 9.3 days, and DPO rose 14.8 days.

Extended payment timing is the main driver — consider whether this trades off supplier relationships.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 114.7 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +9.3 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 90.0 days +9.3 days
Inventory 69.2 days −13.2 days
Payables 44.4 days +14.8 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 114.7 days −18.6 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 82.6bn due to capex of 137.1bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage is balanced for now, with net debt / equity at 0.59x and interest coverage at 5.19x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 89.4% of total debt, cash equals 45.9% of debt, and total debt stands at 638.1bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 89.4% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.59x +0.43x
Interest Coverage 5.19x −2.83x
Cash / Debt 45.9% −34.8pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 89.4% −7.7pp
CFO / NI 0.45x −2.59x

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow reached -77.0bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -212.7bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +289.7bn. Financing cash flow was positive +137.9bn.

CFO / net income was 0.45x.

After spending +137.1bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −82.6bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 54.5bn −268.8bn
Cash Capex 137.1bn +133.4bn
FCF TTM −82.6bn −402.2bn

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 1.2 pp. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated. The main risk still sits in self-funded cash generation remains weak.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 9.44% after expanding 1.2pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 67.8% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.45x.

Key risk: self-funded cash generation remains weak, with trailing-12M FCF still at 82.6bn.
