What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, DAE is losing revenue quickly, though margins have not been hit proportionally yet — profit is at an all-time high. 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

2025Q1 9.1% = 4.9% × 1.41 × 1.32
2026Q1 5.9% = 4.4% × 1.01 × 1.33

ROE fell from 9.1% to 5.9% — asset turnover weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: 4.4% -0.5pp Asset turnover: 1.01x -0.40x Leverage: 1.33x +0.01x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin narrowed to 4.42%, falling 0.5pp. The main pressure comes from SG&A / Revenue rose 1.8pp and Gross margin fell 0.3pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 1.1pp).

Margin is under pressure from multiple sides — temporary and structural components need to be separated to properly assess the risk.

Profitability trend

Net Margin 4.42% −0.5pp
Gross Margin 27.16% −0.3pp
SG&A / Revenue 24.55% +1.8pp
Non-core / Revenue 2.65% +1.1pp

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Financial result accounts for 47.2% of PBT and lifted net margin by 1.1pp — 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.

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.13x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.02x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 12.3bn, roughly 25.8% of total assets.

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

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 40.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 32.4 days, DSO rose 30.9 days, and DPO rose 22.6 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 175.0 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +30.9 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 11.4bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.02x and interest coverage at 13.42x.

Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.

Some leverage signals are missing, so the current read should be treated as contextual.

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 11.4bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -5.9bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +5.5bn. Financing cash flow was negative +2.3bn.

CFO / net income was 2.68x.

Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.

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

Investment Takeaway

The business is under real pressure, but the current picture has not turned broadly adverse. A notable area has clearly weakened, making the near-term outlook hard to call bright; even so, other parts of the business are still holding up, with working capital is tied up too long in the operating cycle remaining the main constraint, with CCC extended to 175 days. The next watchpoint is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 47.2%. The main offsetting support comes from balance-sheet flexibility, with net cash/equity at about -0.02x.

Improvement: the balance sheet remains flexible, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.02x of equity.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 2.68x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 47.2% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.

Key risk: working capital remains tied up for too long, with cash cycle at 175.0 days.
