What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, DP1 is declining across multiple metrics versus the same period, suggesting current pressure is not coming from just one side — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. More notably, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this is pressure that needs close monitoring.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE fell from 27.3% to 18.0% — asset turnover weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin fell to 4.69%, losing 1.6pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 3.8pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 0.2pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 1.0pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 0.3pp).
The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency is declining — check whether the drag is from margins or turnover.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC fell to 7.16%, losing 6.4pp. That translates to 7.16 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin narrowed 2.1pp and capital turnover fell 0.37x, while invested capital expanded strongly by 238bn — pressure came from both operational efficiency and asset efficiency.
Pressure came from the margin side — core operations are weakening, not just a temporary asset-management issue.

Balance Sheet
ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Capital structure is balanced — liabilities at 2.27x equity, net debt at 0.91x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 1,032.7bn, roughly 53.6% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 205.7bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories. Part of that drag was offset by higher payables.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 25.4 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 41.7 days, DSO rose 1.9 days, and DPO rose 18.2 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.
Watchpoints
CCC stands at 156.9 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.
DSO increased by +1.9 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?
Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage is balanced for now, with net debt / equity at 0.91x and interest coverage at 2.64x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 2.6% of debt, and total debt stands at 574.8bn.
Watchpoints
Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.
Cash / debt stands at 2.6%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Cash Flow
Operating cash flow reached -142.4bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -54.3bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +196.7bn. Financing cash flow was positive +238.9bn.
CFO / net income was -1.17x.

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 29.8%. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 1.6 pp.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 29.8% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -1.17x.
Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 4.69% after a 1.6pp decline versus the same period last year.
