What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, CVT posted slightly higher revenue but margins narrowed — the two forces offset each other, leaving the overall picture largely unchanged — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. More notably, a significant portion of profit is supported by non-core sources, further affecting earnings quality.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE fell from 6.6% to 5.4% — leverage weakened the most, though asset turnover still provided support.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin narrowed to 2.43%, falling 0.9pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 4.2pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 0.8pp (with additional support from Other profit / Revenue rose 1.9pp and Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.9pp).
Margin is under pressure from multiple sides — temporary and structural components need to be separated to properly assess the risk.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Watchpoints
Other income accounts for 40.3% of PBT and lifted net margin by 2.8pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency is declining — check whether the drag is from margins or turnover.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC narrowed to 1.48%, falling 1.2pp. That translates to 1.48 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from NOPAT margin narrowed 2.1pp, outweighing the movement in capital turnover; while invested capital contracted by 308bn.
Pressure came from the margin side — core operations are weakening, not just a temporary asset-management issue.
Watchpoints
ROIC is currently 1.48% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

Balance Sheet
ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Leverage is elevated, requiring monitoring — liabilities at 2.09x equity, net debt at 1.01x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 808.6bn, roughly 25.7% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 129.0bn of cash, mainly thanks to higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables and higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 7.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 5.8 days, DSO fell 14.6 days, and DPO fell 12.6 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.
Watchpoints
CCC stands at 129.6 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

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 1.01x and interest coverage only at 0.40x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 98.1% of total debt, cash equals 28.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 1,447.8bn.
Watchpoints
Net debt / equity stands at 1.01x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Interest coverage is 0.40x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 100.8bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 270.9bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +371.6bn. Financing cash flow was negative +323.5bn.
CFO / net income was 3.12x.
After spending +26.5bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +143.6bn.

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 next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is -17.4%. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 1.5%.
Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 3.12x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for -17.4% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
