What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, KSD posted a very sharp profit drop versus the same period, showing that pressure has clearly fed through to the bottom line — this marks a reversal from the difficult phase before. More notably, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this is pressure that needs close monitoring.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE fell from 1.0% to -6.2% — net margin weakened the most, though 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 fell to -25.13%, losing 27.6pp. The main pressure comes from SG&A / Revenue rose 22.3pp and Gross margin fell 7.1pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.5pp).
The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.

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 27.6 pp. The next watchpoint is capital efficiency.
Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at -25.13% after a 27.6pp decline versus the same period last year.
