What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, MTS is showing some signs of improvement versus the same period, but the current picture is not yet broad enough to confirm a stronger trend — profit is at an all-time high. However, profit is significantly supported by non-core sources and operating cash flow is not yet positive — the improvement signal needs more time to confirm.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 8.5% to 14.0% — mainly driven by leverage, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin stands at 0.61%, broadly flat versus the same period. Supportive factors and pressure points are offsetting one another.
Margin is nearly flat but the underlying components are moving — this is a transitional phase, more time is needed to see the real trend.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Watchpoints
Other income accounts for 50.6% of PBT and lifted net margin by 0.4pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency is declining — check whether the drag is from margins or turnover.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC fell to 3.51%, losing 3.6pp. That translates to 3.51 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin narrowed 0.2pp and capital turnover fell 3.53x, while invested capital expanded strongly by 90bn — pressure came from both operational efficiency and asset efficiency.
Both margin and turnover weakened — this is a broad-based decline, and cyclical versus structural components need to be separated.
Watchpoints
ROIC is currently 3.51% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Balance Sheet
ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Leverage is elevated, requiring monitoring — liabilities at 2.56x equity, net debt at 1.23x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 111.3bn, roughly 17.2% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 215.2bn 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
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 4.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 0.2 days, DSO rose 11.8 days, and DPO rose 8.0 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower receivables collection — receivables quality needs monitoring.
Watchpoints
CCC is up by +4.0 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.
DSO increased by +11.8 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?
Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 151.3bn due to capex of 29.6bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.23x and interest coverage only at 1.35x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 91.9% of total debt, cash equals 8.8% of debt, and total debt stands at 258.3bn.
Watchpoints
Net debt / equity stands at 1.23x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Interest coverage is 1.35x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Leverage and liquidity trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Cash Flow
High leverage combined with cash flow below reveals the actual liquidity pressure. Operating cash flow reached -10.3bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -21.3bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +31.6bn. Financing cash flow was positive +34.4bn.
CFO / net income was -4.68x.
After spending +29.6bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −151.3bn.

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 next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is -36.2%. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 3.5%.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for -36.2% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -4.68x.
Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
