What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, DAN has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — profit is at an all-time high. Profit growth is driven mainly by better operations rather than scale expansion — a foundation that tends to be more durable.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 9.0% = 12.0% × 0.36 × 2.09
2026Q1 12.2% = 15.8% × 0.33 × 2.35

ROE rose from 9.0% to 12.2% — mainly driven by leverage, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 15.8% +3.8pp Asset turnover: 0.33x -0.03x Leverage: 2.35x +0.26x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 15.75%, rising 3.8pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 2.6pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 1.7pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with additional support from Other profit / Revenue rose 0.8pp).

The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Profitability trend

Net Margin 15.75% +3.8pp
Gross Margin 55.80% +2.6pp
SG&A / Revenue 33.34% −1.7pp

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to -171.9 days.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC edged up to 7.33%, rising 1.3pp. That translates to 7.33 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 3.4pp, with capital turnover broadly stable; while invested capital rose by 211bn.

NOPAT margin is driving the improvement — ROIC has cleared the deposit-rate threshold but not yet the typical cost of equity level, and this momentum needs to hold as new invested capital is fully deployed.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 7.33% +1.3pp
NOPAT Margin 16.03% +3.4pp
Capital Turnover 0.46x −0.02x
Average Invested Capital 1,405.1bn +210.5bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Capital structure is balanced — liabilities at 1.56x equity, net debt at 0.69x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 44.0bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables. Pressure from higher inventories and lower payables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +144.5bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −54.7bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −45.8bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 99.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 32.8 days, DSO fell 32.9 days, and DPO rose 99.7 days.

Extended payment timing is the main driver — consider whether this trades off supplier relationships.

Watchpoints

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +32.8 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 166.0 days −32.9 days
Inventory 158.9 days +32.8 days
Payables 496.8 days +99.7 days
Cash Conversion Cycle -171.9 days −99.8 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 50.6bn due to capex of 268.1bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage is balanced for now, with net debt / equity at 0.69x and interest coverage at 3.74x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 29.7% of total debt, cash equals 15.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 724.6bn.

Watchpoints

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 15.5%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Interest Coverage 3.74x +0.00x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 55.1bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -218.1bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +163.0bn. Financing cash flow was positive +154.9bn.

CFO / net income was 2.15x.

After spending +268.1bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −50.6bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 217.5bn +137.8bn
Cash Capex 268.1bn +15.2bn
FCF TTM −50.6bn +122.6bn

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 operating efficiency, with net margin improving 3.8 pp. Warning and risk signals are not yet decisive enough to shift the picture.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 15.75% after expanding 3.8pp versus the same period last year.
