What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, ILA posted a very sharp profit drop versus the same period, showing that pressure has clearly fed through to the bottom line — margins have been compressing consistently over multiple periods. The key watch now is how long the business needs to stabilize its profit base.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 -0.9% = -1.9% × 0.25 × 1.96
2026Q1 -10.8% = -25.1% × 0.25 × 1.74

ROE fell from -0.9% to -10.8% — all three components weakened, with net margin being the main drag.

Net margin: -25.1% -23.2pp Asset turnover: 0.25x -0.01x Leverage: 1.74x -0.21x

What is driving the margin?

Net margin fell to -25.14%, losing 23.2pp. The main pressure comes from Gross margin fell 19.4pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 1.5pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 2.4pp).

The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.

Profitability trend

Net Margin -25.14% −23.2pp
Gross Margin -7.42% −19.4pp
SG&A / Revenue 8.88% +1.5pp
Non-core / Revenue -9.32% −3.9pp

Watchpoints

Contribution from financial result

Profit includes a contribution from financial result (36.4% of PBT), not dominant but worth monitoring across periods.

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 0.32x −0.03x
Average Invested Capital 257.0bn −35.7bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.71x equity, net debt at 0.32x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 180.6bn, roughly 60.0% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 22.9bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −13.9bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +25.4bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −34.5bn

Working Capital Efficiency

The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 213.6 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 204.0 days, DSO rose 4.1 days, and DPO fell 5.6 days.

All 3 drivers are deteriorating — working capital is becoming more deeply tied up in the operating cycle.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 871.5 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +4.1 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Inventory 810.5 days +204.0 days
Payables 83.0 days −5.6 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 871.5 days +213.6 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 54.1bn due to capex of 8.0bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.32x and interest coverage only at -3.03x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 75.4% of total debt, cash equals 3.6% of debt, and total debt stands at 57.9bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is -3.03x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 75.4% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.32x −0.05x
Interest Coverage -3.03x −2.97x
Cash / Debt 3.6% +1.2pp

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow reached -54.8bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 47.0bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +7.8bn. Financing cash flow was negative +0.3bn.

CFO / net income was 2.28x.

After spending +8.0bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −54.1bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 46.1bn −16.5bn
Cash Capex 8.0bn +7.2bn
FCF TTM −54.1bn −23.7bn

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 next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 29.4%. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 23.2 pp.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 2.28x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 29.4% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at -25.14% after a 23.2pp decline versus the same period last year.
