What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, HHP is growing strongly on the back of scale expansion, while margins have only improved slightly — profit is at an all-time high. What is still missing is the ability to translate this revenue momentum into more visible margin improvement.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 3.4% to 5.2% — all three components improved, with leverage contributing the most.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin stands at 1.73%, broadly flat versus the same period. Supportive factors and pressure points are offsetting one another.
Margin is nearly flat but the underlying components are moving — this is a transitional phase, more time is needed to see the real trend.

Is capital being used efficiently?
Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC edged up to 1.80%, rising 0.4pp. That translates to 1.80 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 0.2pp and capital turnover rose 0.15x, while invested capital expanded strongly by 833bn — capital-return quality improved from both sides.
Both margin and turnover contributed — the improvement has a dual foundation, but with ROIC still at a low level, several more periods in the same direction are needed to confirm a substantive shift.
Watchpoints
ROIC is currently 1.80% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Balance Sheet
Leverage is very high, with clear pressure on the capital structure — liabilities at 2.25x equity, net debt at 2.02x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 500.4bn, roughly 13.6% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 93.6bn 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
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 21.6 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 3.5 days, DSO fell 5.5 days, and DPO fell 23.6 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to shorter payment timing — may reflect pressure from suppliers.
Watchpoints
CCC is up by +21.6 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.
DIO increased by +3.5 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
High leverage combined with negative operating cash flow — this area needs close monitoring.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 2.02x and interest coverage only at 0.61x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 42.7% of total debt, cash equals 0.6% of debt, and total debt stands at 2,326.4bn.
Watchpoints
Net debt / equity stands at 2.02x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Interest coverage is 0.61x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Leverage and liquidity trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Cash Flow
High leverage combined with cash flow below reveals the actual liquidity pressure. Operating cash flow reached -96.6bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -565.2bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +661.8bn. Financing cash flow was positive +679.9bn.
CFO / net income was 0.50x.
After spending +615.7bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −589.0bn.
Cash Conversion

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 brighter spot is earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 0.50x. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 1.8%.
Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 0.50x.
Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
