What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, LPT has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. Profit growth is driven mainly by better operations rather than scale expansion — a foundation that tends to be more durable.

What is driving the margin?

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Balance Sheet

Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.14x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.02x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 80.4bn, roughly 45.9% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 12.6bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories. Part of that drag was offset by higher payables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −17.9bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −1.3bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +6.6bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 2.1 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 5.2 days, DSO fell 47.9 days, and DPO fell 55.3 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to shorter payment timing — may reflect pressure from suppliers.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 143.6 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Payables 33.9 days −55.3 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 143.6 days +2.1 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 14.3bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Track net leverage, interest coverage, and the liquidity buffer on the balance sheet.

Investment Takeaway

The business is heading the right way, but the current picture is still at partial confirmation — not yet a fully clean case. The positive points have clearly improved, showing the operating base is better than before. The brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 5.0 pp. The next item to monitor is cash generation still needs confirmation. The main risk still sits in working capital is tied up too long in the operating cycle, with CCC extended to 144 days.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 5.34% after expanding 5.0pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: Cash generation still needs confirmation.

Key risk: working capital remains tied up for too long, with cash cycle at 143.6 days.
