Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 3.0% = 16.4% × 0.10 × 1.87
2026Q1 5.6% = 19.4% × 0.15 × 1.92

ROE rose from 3.0% to 5.6% — all three components improved, with asset turnover contributing the most.

Net margin: 19.4% +3.1pp Asset turnover: 0.15x +0.05x Leverage: 1.92x +0.04x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 19.41%, rising 3.1pp. Core operating signals are improving as SG&A / Revenue fell 3.2pp are enough to offset pressure from Gross margin fell 8.8pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 4.5pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 1.4pp remained a drag).

Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.

Profitability trend

Net Margin 19.41% +3.1pp
Gross Margin 37.23% −8.8pp
SG&A / Revenue 12.80% −3.2pp

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 39.1 days.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 4.49%, rising 1.5pp. That translates to 4.49 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 0.4pp and capital turnover rose 0.07x, while invested capital rose by 308bn — capital-return quality improved from both sides.

Capital turnover improved — a positive signal on asset efficiency, but with ROIC still low, NOPAT margin also needs to lift in coming periods to produce meaningful returns.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently 4.49% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

Watchpoints

Cash Capex 34.2bn −128.7bn
FCF TTM +337.9bn +363.9bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is heading the right way, but the current picture is still at partial confirmation — not yet a fully clean case. The positive points have clearly improved, showing the operating base is better than before. The brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 3.1 pp. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 4.5%.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 19.41% after expanding 3.1pp versus the same period last year.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
