What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, MBG is holding revenue at an acceptable level, but margins are eroding visibly — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. What is still missing is better cost control to prevent margin pressure from spreading to the overall profit result.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 2.6% = 8.7% × 0.28 × 1.07
2026Q1 1.4% = 3.5% × 0.38 × 1.08

ROE fell from 2.6% to 1.4% — net margin weakened the most, though asset turnover and leverage still provided support.

Net margin: 3.5% -5.2pp Asset turnover: 0.38x +0.10x Leverage: 1.08x +0.02x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin fell to 3.46%, losing 5.2pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 5.9pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 0.4pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.0pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.3pp remained a drag).

The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.

Is capital being used efficiently?

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

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC narrowed to 1.30%, falling 1.1pp. That translates to 1.30 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from NOPAT margin narrowed 5.1pp, outweighing the movement in capital turnover; with invested capital holding roughly steady.

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

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently 1.30% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

NOPAT Margin 3.32% −5.1pp

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage is balanced for now, with net debt / equity at 0.07x and interest coverage at 3.05x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 23.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 118.1bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

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

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 23.2%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Interest Coverage 3.05x −5.29x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 5.0bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -103.9bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +98.8bn. Financing cash flow was positive +42.5bn.

CFO / net income was 6.79x.

After spending +2.6bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +123.0bn.

Cash Conversion

CFO TTM 125.7bn +122.2bn
Cash Capex 2.6bn +1.4bn
FCF TTM +123.0bn +120.8bn

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 earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 6.79x. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 5.2 pp.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 6.79x.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 3.46% after a 5.2pp decline versus the same period last year.
