What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, DDN posted slightly lower profit versus the same period — an early signal that some factors are becoming less favorable — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. More notably, a significant portion of profit is supported by non-core sources, further affecting earnings quality.

Net profit attributable to parent declined vs last year, mainly due to lower financial income. Supporting and offsetting drivers:
Net profit attributable to parent increased vs prior quarter, mainly helped by lower finance costs. Supporting and offsetting drivers:
Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE is broadly flat at 2.6% — the components are offsetting one another.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins improved (+0.1pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin stands at 0.51%, 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.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Watchpoints
Margin support from financial result remains high (73.4% of PBT) — sustainability should be monitored.
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 15.5 days.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC edged up to 1.09%, rising 1.0pp. That translates to 1.09 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 0.3pp, with capital turnover fell 1.32x; with invested capital holding roughly steady.
NOPAT margin is the main cushion preventing ROIC from slipping as invested capital keeps expanding — the quality of this improvement depends on whether margin holds once the new capital is fully deployed.
Watchpoints
ROIC is currently 1.09% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

Balance Sheet
ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Capital structure is balanced — liabilities at 3.93x equity, net debt at 0.56x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 121.6bn, roughly 11.9% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 0.9bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables. Part of that drag was offset by lower inventories and higher payables.
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 4.5 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 5.5 days, DSO rose 79.0 days, and DPO rose 89.0 days.
Extended payment timing is the main driver — consider whether this trades off supplier relationships.
Watchpoints
DSO increased by +79.0 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.
DIO increased by +5.5 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 0.9bn due to capex of 5.3bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.56x and interest coverage only at 0.18x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 20.6% of debt, and total debt stands at 146.6bn.
Watchpoints
Interest coverage is 0.18x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash Flow
Operating cash flow reached -19.1bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 36.8bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +17.7bn. Financing cash flow was negative +15.4bn.
CFO / net income was 0.82x.
After spending +5.3bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −0.9bn.
Cash Conversion

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 capital efficiency remains weak remaining the main constraint, with ROIC at 1.1%. The next watchpoint is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 42.7%. The main offsetting support comes from cash generation.
Improvement: cash generation is recovering, with trailing-12M FCF improving by 47.5bn versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 42.7% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.82x.
Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
