What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, CMM has not accelerated revenue, but profitability is improving more visibly — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. However, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this needs monitoring in coming periods.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 9.3% = 4.0% × 0.79 × 2.97
2026Q1 11.9% = 5.5% × 0.65 × 3.33

ROE rose from 9.3% to 11.9% — mainly driven by leverage, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 5.5% +1.6pp Asset turnover: 0.65x -0.14x Leverage: 3.33x +0.36x

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 5.51%, rising 1.6pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 5.7pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 1.6pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 1.4pp and Other profit / Revenue fell 1.0pp).

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

Is capital being used efficiently?

Return on capital rose, but cash cycle lengthened by 121.1 days — working capital needs watching.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC edged up to 3.91%, rising 1.2pp. That translates to 3.91 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 2.5pp, with capital turnover fell 0.17x; while invested capital expanded strongly by 647bn.

NOPAT margin is the main cushion preventing ROIC from slipping as invested capital keeps expanding — the quality of this improvement depends on whether margin holds once the new capital is fully deployed.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently 3.91% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

NOPAT Margin 5.52% +2.5pp
Capital Turnover 0.71x −0.17x
Average Invested Capital 3,542.8bn +646.5bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Leverage is very high, with clear pressure on the capital structure — liabilities at 2.33x equity, net debt at 2.12x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 2,082.5bn, roughly 53.2% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.0bn of cash.

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 121.1 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 158.8 days, DSO fell 24.6 days, and DPO rose 13.1 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 406.8 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +158.8 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?

High leverage combined with negative operating cash flow — this area needs close monitoring.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 2.12x and interest coverage only at 0.76x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 73.3% of total debt, cash equals 1.8% of debt, and total debt stands at 2,584.7bn.

Watchpoints

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 2.12x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.76x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Interest Coverage 0.76x +0.21x

Cash Flow

High leverage combined with cash flow below reveals the actual liquidity pressure. Operating cash flow reached -385.5bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -95.9bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +481.4bn. Financing cash flow was positive +373.2bn.

CFO / net income was -1.50x.

Cash capex or FCF data is incomplete, so the cash-conversion view is only partial.

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing a few weaker signals, but the current magnitude is not yet clear enough to conclude that this is a broader weakening phase. The brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 1.6 pp. The next item to monitor is cash generation still needs confirmation. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 3.9%.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 5.51% after expanding 1.6pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: Cash generation still needs confirmation.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
