What Is Changing

On a TTM 2025Q4 basis, DPC posted a sharp profit increase versus the same period, suggesting a clear improvement from a low base — this marks a reversal from the difficult phase before. The point still to be proven is whether this new profit level can hold once the low-base effect fades.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2024Q4 -6.9% = -5.6% × 0.44 × 2.81
2025Q4 12.8% = 16.1% × 0.31 × 2.55

ROE rose from -6.9% to 12.8% — mainly driven by net margin, despite asset turnover and leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 16.1% +21.7pp Asset turnover: 0.31x -0.13x Leverage: 2.55x -0.25x

Is the profit sustainable?

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

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 16.07%, rising 21.7pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 34.2pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 6.3pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 1.9pp).

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

Is capital being used efficiently?

Return on capital rose, but cash cycle lengthened by 131.8 days — working capital needs watching.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 5.39%, rising 8.2pp. That translates to 5.39 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 22.0pp, with capital turnover fell 0.13x; with invested capital holding roughly steady.

NOPAT margin led the improvement, but the ROIC level has not yet cleared typical cost of capital — margin needs to hold in coming periods rather than being a one-period rebound.

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 131.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 108.3 days, DSO rose 22.5 days, and DPO fell 1.1 days.

All 3 drivers are deteriorating — working capital is becoming more deeply tied up in the operating cycle.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 220.0 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +22.5 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.14x and interest coverage only at 1.67x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 20.2% of total debt, cash equals 5.8% of debt, and total debt stands at 33.9bn.

Watchpoints

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 1.14x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 1.67x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Net Debt / Equity 1.14x −0.49x
Interest Coverage 1.67x +2.25x
Cash / Debt 5.8% +4.6pp

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 leverage and liquidity remaining the main constraint, with interest coverage at 1.67x. The next watchpoint is cash generation still needs confirmation. The main offsetting support comes from operating efficiency, with net margin improving 21.7 pp.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 16.07% after expanding 21.7pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: Cash generation still needs confirmation.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 1.67x.
