What Is Changing

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE fell from 2.6% to 1.4% — net margin weakened the most, though asset turnover and leverage still provided support.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
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 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 is currently 1.30% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.
