What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, GDT has not accelerated revenue, but profitability is improving more visibly — profit is at an all-time high. However, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this needs monitoring in coming periods.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 21.5% = 18.9% × 0.73 × 1.55
2026Q1 23.1% = 23.1% × 0.55 × 1.83

ROE rose from 21.5% to 23.1% — mainly driven by leverage, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 23.1% +4.1pp Asset turnover: 0.55x -0.19x Leverage: 1.83x +0.28x

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 23.08%, rising 4.1pp. Core operating signals are improving as SG&A / Revenue fell 8.4pp are enough to offset pressure from Gross margin fell 1.5pp (with lingering pressure from Other profit / Revenue fell 1.2pp and Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.4pp).

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

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC narrowed to 14.63%, falling 1.0pp. That translates to 14.63 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Although NOPAT margin rose 5.0pp, capital turnover fell 0.22x still pulled ROIC lower, while invested capital expanded strongly by 132bn.

Pressure came from turnover — added capital has not been absorbed quickly enough, a typical investment-cycle dynamic.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 14.63% −1.0pp
NOPAT Margin 23.69% +5.0pp
Capital Turnover 0.62x −0.22x
Average Invested Capital 534.6bn +131.8bn

Balance Sheet

Capital structure is balanced — liabilities at 0.56x equity, net debt at 0.76x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 63.1bn, roughly 11.4% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 119.6bn of cash, mainly because of higher inventories and lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower receivables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +18.9bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −2.7bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −135.8bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 21.5 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 10.0 days, DSO fell 1.0 days, and DPO rose 10.6 days.

All 3 drivers (collection, inventory, payables) are improving — working capital turnover is strengthening across the board.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 132.4 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 26.4 days −1.0 days
Inventory 137.5 days −10.0 days
Payables 31.5 days +10.6 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 132.4 days −21.5 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 230.1bn due to capex of 204.6bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage is balanced for now, with net debt / equity at 0.76x and interest coverage at 7.49x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 28.6% of total debt, cash equals 1.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 267.4bn.

Watchpoints

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 1.3%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.76x +0.30x
Interest Coverage 7.49x +0.86x
Cash / Debt 1.3% +0.1pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 28.6% −16.3pp
CFO / NI -0.33x −2.74x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 87.0bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -50.4bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +36.5bn. Financing cash flow was negative +36.8bn.

CFO / net income was -0.33x.

After spending +204.6bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −230.1bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Capex 204.6bn +29.4bn
FCF TTM −230.1bn −208.5bn

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 4.1 pp. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 7.49x.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 23.08% after expanding 4.1pp versus the same period last year.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity remain a pressure point, with net debt / equity at 0.76x and a thin cash buffer.
