What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, GCF is improving on both revenue and margins, suggesting current growth is backed by both scale and operating efficiency — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. The next test will be whether this pace holds as the comparison base gets tougher.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE is broadly flat at 19.4% — the components are offsetting one another.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin edged up to 14.66%, rising 1.0pp. Core operating signals are improving as SG&A / Revenue fell 2.6pp are enough to offset pressure from Gross margin fell 1.9pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 1.3pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.6pp remained a drag).
Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 103.2 days.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 20.26%, rising 6.7pp. That translates to 20.26 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 1.5pp and capital turnover rose 0.35x, with invested capital easing slightly by 52bn — capital-return quality improved from both sides.
Capital efficiency improved through turnover — a positive sign for asset efficiency, but this momentum needs to hold as capital expands.

Balance Sheet
ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.22x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.26x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 94.9bn, roughly 12.2% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 63.0bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower inventories.
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 25.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 9.2 days, DSO fell 16.0 days, and DPO rose 0.5 days.
All 3 drivers (collection, inventory, payables) are improving — working capital turnover is strengthening across the board.
Watchpoints
CCC stands at 103.2 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 71.5bn.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 312.8% of debt, and total debt stands at 81.6bn.
Watchpoints
Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Investment Takeaway
The business is entering a broader improvement phase — not just stronger earnings but better operating quality as well. Margin, ROIC, and cash flow all improving shows the business is growing in a cleaner and more efficient way than before. Notably, the improvement trend has been confirmed across multiple cycles, from margin to capital efficiency and cash generation.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 14.66% after expanding 1.0pp versus the same period last year.
