What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, CMI is improving on both revenue and margins, suggesting current growth is backed by both scale and operating efficiency — margins have been expanding consistently over multiple periods. However, profit is significantly supported by non-core sources and operating cash flow is not yet positive — the improvement signal needs more time to confirm.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 21.8% = -64.7% × 0.16 × -2.13
2026Q1 16.3% = -43.3% × 0.26 × -1.47

ROE edged down from 21.8% to 16.3% — the components are broadly offsetting.

Net margin: -43.3% +21.5pp Asset turnover: 0.26x +0.10x Leverage: -1.47x +0.66x

Is the profit sustainable?

Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to -43.27%, rising 21.5pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 7.8pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.4pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 8.2pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 5.8pp).

Margin improves from both core operations and non-core items — the core foundation is positive, but the sustainability of non-core contributions needs monitoring.

Net Margin -43.27% +21.5pp
Gross Margin -5.21% +7.8pp
SG&A / Revenue 4.06% +0.4pp
Non-core / Revenue -34.00% +14.0pp

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Financial result accounts for 78.6% of PBT and lifted net margin by 14.0pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency should be read in industry context — ROIC may fluctuate with business specifics.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.

Industry characteristics make ROIC cyclical — this is a reference signal and should be read with the business context.

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 495.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 528.3 days, DSO fell 54.4 days, and DPO fell 87.0 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 653.1 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 3.6bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at -1.18x and interest coverage only at -1.47x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 1.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 141.9bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is -1.47x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

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 21.5 pp. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at -1.47x.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at -43.27% after expanding 21.5pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 44.9% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -0.32x.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at -1.47x.
