What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, DSG posted a sharp profit increase versus the same period, suggesting a clear improvement from a low base — profit is at an all-time high. However, profit is significantly supported by non-core sources and operating cash flow is not yet positive — the improvement signal needs more time to confirm.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 -680.7% = -38.5% × 0.41 × 42.61
2026Q1 31.9% = -5.7% × 0.42 × -13.31

ROE rose from -680.7% to 31.9% — mainly driven by net margin, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: -5.7% +32.8pp Asset turnover: 0.42x +0.01x Leverage: -13.31x -55.92x

Is the profit sustainable?

Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to -5.68%, rising 32.8pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 11.2pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 8.2pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 7.4pp).

Margin improves from both core operations and non-core items — the core foundation is positive, but the sustainability of non-core contributions needs monitoring.

Profitability trend

Net Margin -5.68% +32.8pp
Gross Margin 16.02% +11.2pp
SG&A / Revenue 20.86% −8.2pp
Non-core / Revenue -0.83% +13.4pp

Watchpoints

Other income is supporting margin

Other income accounts for 73.8% of PBT and lifted net margin by 13.4pp — 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.

ROIC
NOPAT Margin
Capital Turnover 39.22x +35.85x
Average Invested Capital 1.1bn −12.1bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at -14.96x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 1.71x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 15.2bn, roughly 14.8% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 2.0bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower inventories and higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −4.8bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +1.0bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +5.8bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 72.9 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 47.0 days, DSO rose 32.9 days, and DPO rose 152.8 days.

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

Watchpoints

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +32.9 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +47.0 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Cash Conversion Cycle -135.4 days −72.9 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 0.9bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at -1.71x and interest coverage only at -0.45x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 22.1% of debt, and total debt stands at 10.6bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is -0.45x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Net Debt / Equity -1.71x −0.25x
Interest Coverage -0.45x +6.06x
Cash / Debt 22.1% −4.9pp

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 0.9bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 1.8bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +2.8bn. Financing cash flow was negative +3.4bn.

CFO / net income was -0.59x.

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 32.8 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is -59.1%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at -0.45x.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at -5.68% after expanding 32.8pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for -59.1% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -0.59x.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at -0.45x.
