What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, IPA has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. 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
ROE rose from 9.1% to 12.4% — mainly driven by net margin, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin expanded to 96.14%, rising 28.3pp. Despite pressure from Gross margin fell 4.6pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 1.1pp, the offset came from Net financial result / Revenue rose 11.8pp (pressure remains from Other profit / Revenue fell 0.0pp).
Margin improves from both core operations and non-core items — the core foundation is positive, but the sustainability of non-core contributions needs monitoring.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Is capital being used efficiently?
Return on capital rose, but cash cycle lengthened by 16.3 days — working capital needs watching.
Balance Sheet
ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Leverage is elevated, requiring monitoring — liabilities at 1.29x equity, net debt at 1.06x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 153.5bn 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
Is financial risk significant?
Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 343.2bn due to capex of 20.9bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.
Investment Takeaway
The business is showing brightening signals, but the improvement is still early and not yet thick enough to read as a confirmed trend. The brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 28.3 pp. The next item to monitor is working capital needs model and cycle context, with CCC at 71 days. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 1.75x.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 96.14% after expanding 28.3pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: Working capital needs model and cycle context.
Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 1.75x.
