What Is Changing
On a TTM 2025Q4 basis, KSQ posted a sharp profit increase versus the same period, suggesting a clear improvement from a low base — this marks a reversal from the difficult phase before. However, most of the profit comes from non-core sources — this needs careful evaluation before concluding on growth quality.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from -0.5% to 2.2% — mainly driven by net margin, despite asset turnover and leverage moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins improved (+209.7pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin expanded to 191.85%, rising 209.7pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 7.4pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 85.3pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 291.0pp).
Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.

Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2024Q4 -> 2025Q4
Working Capital Efficiency

Extended payment timing is the main driver — consider whether this trades off supplier relationships.
Watchpoints
DSO increased by +18.7 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.
DIO increased by +26.5 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.11x and interest coverage only at 0.66x.
Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.
Some leverage signals are missing, so the current read should be treated as contextual.
Watchpoints
Interest coverage is 0.66x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

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 209.7 pp. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 0.66x.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 191.85% after expanding 209.7pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 5.94x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 151.2% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 0.66x.
