What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, CLL is showing a few mildly negative signals versus the same period, though nothing alarming at current levels — margins have been compressing consistently over multiple periods. The point still to be proven is whether this is a short adjustment or the beginning of a weaker trend.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 15.5% to 16.4% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite net margin moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin fell to 26.00%, losing 5.3pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 7.5pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 1.7pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.6pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 1.5pp remained a drag).
The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Is capital being used efficiently?
Return on capital rose, but cash cycle lengthened by 1.5 days — working capital needs watching.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 22.37%, rising 2.7pp. That translates to 22.37 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. capital turnover rose 0.26x was enough to offset the contraction in NOPAT margin narrowed 5.8pp, with invested capital holding roughly steady.
Capital efficiency improved through turnover — a positive sign for asset efficiency, but this momentum needs to hold as capital expands.

Balance Sheet
ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.15x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.27x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 3.9bn 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

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 1.07x. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 5.3 pp.
Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.07x.
Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 26.00% after a 5.3pp decline versus the same period last year.
