What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, LCD has not moved the needle on revenue, but profitability has edged up slightly — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. More notably, 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 is broadly flat at 0.5% — the components are offsetting one another.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins improved (+0.1pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin stands at 0.35%, broadly flat versus the same period. Supportive factors and pressure points are offsetting one another.
Margin is nearly flat but the underlying components are moving — this is a transitional phase, more time is needed to see the real trend.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Watchpoints
Margin support from financial result remains high (147.3% of PBT) — sustainability should be monitored.
Is capital being used efficiently?
Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC stands at -0.13%, broadly flat versus the same period. That translates to -0.13 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. NOPAT margin steady, but capital turnover rose 0.10x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — the two factors are offsetting each other, keeping overall ROIC nearly unchanged.
Overall ROIC is flat while internal components are moving — watch which side becomes dominant in coming periods.
Watchpoints
ROIC is currently -0.13% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Balance Sheet
Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 2.45x equity, net debt at 0.21x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 22.0bn, roughly 20.8% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.0bn of cash.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 90.4 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 19.6 days, DSO rose 124.9 days, and DPO rose 14.9 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower receivables collection — receivables quality needs monitoring.
Watchpoints
CCC stands at 752.0 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.
DSO increased by +124.9 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?
Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.21x and interest coverage only at -0.11x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 6.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 7.0bn.
Watchpoints
Interest coverage is -0.11x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 21.4bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 0.1bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +21.5bn. Financing cash flow was negative +25.1bn.
CFO / net income was 91.36x.
Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.
Cash capex or FCF data is incomplete, so the cash-conversion view is only partial.

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 capital efficiency remains weak remaining the main constraint, with ROIC at -0.1%. The next watchpoint is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is -445.9%.
Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 91.36x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for -445.9% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
