What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, MML is improving on both revenue and margins, suggesting current growth is backed by both scale and operating efficiency — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. The next test will be whether this pace holds as the comparison base gets tougher.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 3.9% to 13.1% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin expanded to 6.75%, rising 4.4pp. The main driver is SG&A / Revenue fell 2.1pp and Gross margin rose 1.7pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.9pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.1pp remained a drag).
The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 20.5 days.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 7.10%, rising 5.4pp. That translates to 7.10 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 4.6pp and capital turnover rose 0.23x, with invested capital easing slightly by 490bn — capital-return quality improved from both sides.
NOPAT margin expansion has lifted ROIC above the deposit-rate threshold but below typical cost of equity — more same-direction periods are needed to confirm a structural shift.

Balance Sheet
ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Capital structure is balanced — liabilities at 1.19x equity, net debt at 0.72x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 429.0bn 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
Working Capital Efficiency
Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 14.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 11.7 days, DSO rose 0.6 days, and DPO rose 3.1 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.
Watchpoints
DSO increased by +0.6 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.72x and interest coverage only at 1.91x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 88.5% of total debt, cash equals 5.0% of debt, and total debt stands at 4,047.0bn.
Watchpoints
Interest coverage is 1.91x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Short-term debt accounts for 88.5% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 543.3bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -33.6bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +509.7bn. Financing cash flow was negative +455.1bn.
CFO / net income was 0.99x.
After spending +79.1bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +482.5bn.

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 4.4 pp. The next item to monitor is effective tax rate looks unusual, with effective tax rate at 2.1%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 1.91x.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 6.75% after expanding 4.4pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: the effective tax rate looks unusual, so current net profit may not fully reflect underlying earnings quality.
Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 1.91x.
