What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, IFS is going through a period of clear decline across multiple metrics at once — margins have been compressing consistently over multiple periods. What still needs to be determined is whether the business can find a stabilization point in the near term, or whether current pressure has not yet run its course.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE fell from 13.2% to 11.7% — net margin weakened the most, though asset turnover and leverage still provided support.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin narrowed to 7.28%, falling 1.1pp. The main pressure comes from Gross margin fell 1.3pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 0.4pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.3pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.3pp remained a drag).
The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.

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.

Balance Sheet
ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.22x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.72x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 327.2bn, roughly 22.5% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 30.1bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and higher payables. Pressure from higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 3.5 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 6.2 days, DSO fell 0.1 days, and DPO rose 2.7 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.
Watchpoints
CCC is up by +3.5 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.
DIO increased by +6.2 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 117.3bn.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.72x and interest coverage at 405.79x.
Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.
Some leverage signals are missing, so the current read should be treated as contextual.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 117.3bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -59.8bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +57.5bn. Financing cash flow was negative +172.9bn.
CFO / net income was 1.15x.
After spending +135.1bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +32.5bn.

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 some core pressures remaining the main constraint. The next watchpoint is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 16.9%. The main offsetting support comes from balance-sheet flexibility, with net cash/equity at about -0.72x.
Improvement: the balance sheet remains flexible, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.72x of equity.
Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 1.15x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 16.9% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
