What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, CMV is improving on both growth and profitability, painting a notably more positive picture versus the same period — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. However, most of the profit comes from non-core sources — this needs careful evaluation before concluding on growth quality.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 4.1% = 0.2% × 9.03 × 2.00
2026Q1 7.6% = 0.4% × 9.71 × 1.93

ROE rose from 4.1% to 7.6% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 0.4% +0.2pp Asset turnover: 9.71x +0.68x Leverage: 1.93x -0.07x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins improved (+0.2pp), 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 stands at 0.40%, 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.

Watchpoints

Other income is supporting margin

Margin support from other income remains high (105.2% of PBT) — sustainability should be monitored.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC narrowed to -0.27%, falling 0.5pp. That translates to -0.27 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from capital turnover rose 1.32x — capital is being absorbed faster than revenue is being generated; with invested capital holding roughly steady.

Pressure came from the margin side — core operations are weakening, not just a temporary asset-management issue.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently -0.27% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC -0.27% −0.5pp
NOPAT Margin -0.02% −0.0pp
Capital Turnover 13.03x +1.32x
Average Invested Capital 375.2bn −8.4bn

Balance Sheet

Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 1.06x equity, net debt at 0.32x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 264.7bn, roughly 48.8% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 34.1bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower inventories and higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −24.8bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +28.5bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +30.3bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 2.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 1.3 days, DSO fell 0.6 days, and DPO rose 0.3 days.

All 3 drivers (collection, inventory, payables) are improving — working capital turnover is strengthening across the board.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 4.3 days −0.6 days
Inventory 20.7 days −1.3 days
Payables 4.6 days +0.3 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 20.5 days −2.2 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.32x and interest coverage only at -0.11x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 29.6% of debt, and total debt stands at 123.1bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is -0.11x, 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.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.32x −0.25x
Interest Coverage -0.11x −0.26x
Cash / Debt 29.6% +13.0pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 100.0% 0.0pp
CFO / NI 3.63x +3.31x

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 42.7bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -16.9bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +25.8bn. Financing cash flow was negative +29.5bn.

CFO / net income was 3.63x.

After spending +13.1bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +59.1bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 72.2bn +68.6bn
Cash Capex 13.1bn −0.4bn
FCF TTM +59.1bn +69.0bn

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 cash generation. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is -35.4%. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at -0.3%.

Improvement: cash generation is recovering, with trailing-12M FCF improving by 69.0bn versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 3.63x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for -35.4% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
