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

2025Q1 0.3% = 0.2% × 0.43 × 3.85
2026Q1 0.5% = 0.3% × 0.38 × 3.54

ROE is broadly flat at 0.5% — the components are offsetting one another.

Net margin: 0.3% +0.1pp Asset turnover: 0.38x -0.05x Leverage: 3.54x -0.31x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins improved (+0.1pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

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.

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

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 remains low

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

ROIC -0.13% −0.1pp
NOPAT Margin -0.16% −0.1pp
Capital Turnover 0.79x +0.10x
Average Invested Capital 52.0bn −21.7bn

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 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

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 752.0 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

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 thin

Interest coverage is -0.11x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Net Debt / Equity 0.21x −0.98x
Interest Coverage -0.11x −0.07x
Cash / Debt 6.3% +5.2pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 100.0% 0.0pp
CFO / NI 91.36x −45.19x

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.
