Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 12.6% to 13.7% — all three components improved, with leverage contributing the most.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin edged up to 19.45%, rising 1.0pp. Core operating signals are improving as SG&A / Revenue fell 2.2pp are enough to offset pressure from Gross margin fell 0.1pp (with lingering pressure from Other profit / Revenue fell 0.6pp and Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.4pp).
Margin improves from both core operations and non-core items — the core foundation is positive, but the sustainability of non-core contributions needs monitoring.
