What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, CMF is maintaining revenue growth, but margins have not improved proportionally — profit is at an all-time high. What is still missing is the ability to convert top-line growth into better profitability.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE fell from 25.8% to 21.7% — asset turnover weakened the most.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin stands at 6.95%, broadly flat versus the same period. Supportive factors and pressure points are offsetting one another.
Margin is nearly flat but the underlying components are moving — this is a transitional phase, more time is needed to see the real trend.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
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 22.96%, losing 2.4pp. That translates to 22.96 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from capital turnover fell 0.37x — capital is being absorbed faster than revenue is being generated; while invested capital expanded strongly by 287bn.
Pressure came from turnover — added capital has not been absorbed quickly enough, a typical investment-cycle dynamic.

Balance Sheet
ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.42x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.11x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 261.8bn, roughly 13.2% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.0bn of cash.
Working Capital Drivers

Working Capital Efficiency
Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 2.1 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 5.1 days, DSO fell 1.3 days, and DPO fell 4.3 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.

Notably, the improvement trend has been confirmed across multiple cycles, from margin to capital efficiency and cash generation.
Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 0.88x.
