What Is Changing

On a TTM 2024Q1 basis, L62 posted a very sharp profit drop versus the same period, showing that pressure has clearly fed through to the bottom line — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. More notably, profit relies heavily on non-core sources while operating cash flow is negative — these two factors together suggest earnings quality needs cautious evaluation.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2023Q1 6.2% = 4.7% × 0.20 × 6.46
2024Q1 -898.7% = -131.0% × 0.17 × 39.25

ROE fell from 6.2% to -898.7% — net margin weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: -131.0% -135.7pp Asset turnover: 0.17x -0.03x Leverage: 39.25x +32.79x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin fell to -131.03%, losing 135.7pp. The main pressure comes from Gross margin fell 15.6pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 72.6pp and Other profit / Revenue fell 46.9pp).

The pressure comes from non-core items while core operations hold their rhythm — margin has a basis to recover once this factor passes.

TTM YoY · 2023Q1 -> 2024Q1

Watchpoints

Financial result share remains high

Even though contribution decreased by 119.5pp, financial result still accounts for 98.2% of PBT — earnings durability should be monitored in coming periods.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency is declining — check whether the drag is from margins or turnover.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC fell to -27.18%, losing 29.2pp. That translates to -27.18 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from NOPAT margin narrowed 88.8pp, outweighing the movement in capital turnover; while invested capital contracted by 74bn.

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

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently -27.18% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2023Q1 -> 2024Q1

ROIC -27.18% −29.2pp
NOPAT Margin -82.85% −88.8pp
Capital Turnover 0.33x −0.01x
Average Invested Capital 274.1bn −73.7bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at -1.65x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 5.76x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 77.5bn, roughly 36.6% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 16.6bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower inventories. Pressure from lower payables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2023Q1 -> 2024Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +32.3bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +23.0bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −38.7bn

Working Capital Efficiency

The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 148.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 77.5 days, DSO rose 41.6 days, and DPO fell 28.8 days.

All 3 drivers are deteriorating — working capital is becoming more deeply tied up in the operating cycle.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 1230.0 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +41.6 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Receivables 513.0 days +41.6 days
Inventory 1062.3 days +77.5 days
Payables 345.3 days −28.8 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 1230.0 days +148.0 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 12.7bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at -5.76x and interest coverage only at -1.03x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 99.6% of total debt, cash equals 0.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 261.7bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is -1.03x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 99.6% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Interest Coverage -1.03x −1.74x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 12.7bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 0.0bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +12.7bn. Financing cash flow was negative +21.6bn.

CFO / net income was -0.13x.

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing a few weaker signals, but the current magnitude is not yet clear enough to conclude that this is a broader weakening phase. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 135.7 pp.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 61.4% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -0.13x.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at -131.03% after a 135.7pp decline versus the same period last year.
