What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, MCG posted a very sharp profit drop versus the same period, showing that pressure has clearly fed through to the bottom line — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. More notably, profit relies heavily on non-core sources while operating cash flow is negative — these two factors together suggest earnings quality needs cautious evaluation.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 -2.3% = -12.4% × 0.03 × 5.69
2026Q1 -4.6% = -23.1% × 0.03 × 6.00

ROE fell from -2.3% to -4.6% — net margin weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: -23.1% -10.7pp Asset turnover: 0.03x +0.00x Leverage: 6.00x +0.31x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin fell to -23.08%, losing 10.7pp. The main pressure comes from SG&A / Revenue rose 5.7pp and Gross margin fell 5.2pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.6pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.5pp remained a drag).

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

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Margin support from financial result remains high (126.4% of PBT) — sustainability should be monitored.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency should be read in industry context — ROIC may fluctuate with business specifics.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.

Industry characteristics make ROIC cyclical — this is a reference signal and should be read with the business context.

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Leverage is very high, with clear pressure on the capital structure — liabilities at 5.04x equity, net debt at 2.53x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 7.0bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and higher payables. Pressure from higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +7.4bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −0.9bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +0.5bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 225.3 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 294.4 days, DSO fell 55.5 days, and DPO fell 124.6 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 2.53x and interest coverage only at -0.83x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 1.4% of total debt, cash equals 0.7% of debt, and total debt stands at 555.8bn.

Watchpoints

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 2.53x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is -0.83x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Cash Flow

Leverage needs watching — cash flow below shows the ability to service debt from operations. Operating cash flow reached 3.3bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -5.6bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +2.3bn. Financing cash flow was negative +0.5bn.

CFO / net income was -1.99x.

After spending +14.8bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +0.6bn.

Cash Conversion

Cash Capex 14.8bn +1.4bn
FCF TTM +0.6bn +2.2bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing a few weaker signals, but the current magnitude is not yet clear enough to conclude that this is a broader weakening phase. The brighter spot is cash generation. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 10.7 pp.

Improvement: cash generation is recovering, with trailing-12M FCF improving by 2.2bn versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 123.3% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -1.99x.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at -23.08% after a 10.7pp decline versus the same period last year.
