What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, ILB is showing a few mildly negative signals versus the same period, though nothing alarming at current levels — profit is at an all-time high. The point still to be proven is whether this is a short adjustment or the beginning of a weaker trend.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 18.3% = 21.3% × 0.31 × 2.73
2026Q1 15.4% = 18.4% × 0.36 × 2.32

ROE fell from 18.3% to 15.4% — leverage weakened the most, though asset turnover still provided support.

Net margin: 18.4% -2.9pp Asset turnover: 0.36x +0.05x Leverage: 2.32x -0.41x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin fell to 18.40%, losing 2.9pp. The main pressure comes from Gross margin fell 3.2pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 2.0pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 1.9pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.1pp 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 is declining — check whether the drag is from margins or turnover.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC narrowed to 17.06%, falling 1.1pp. That translates to 17.06 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Although capital turnover rose 0.07x, NOPAT margin narrowed 2.8pp still pulled ROIC lower, while invested capital rose by 91bn.

Pressure came from the margin side — core operations are weakening, not just a temporary asset-management issue.

Balance Sheet

ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 1.17x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.11x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 46.3bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables. Part of that drag was offset by higher payables.

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 margins remain under pressure remaining the main constraint, with net margin down 2.9 pp. The main offsetting support comes from earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 0.95x.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 0.95x.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 18.40% after a 2.9pp decline versus the same period last year.
