What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, NAP is improving on both revenue and margins, suggesting current growth is backed by both scale and operating efficiency — profit is at an all-time high. 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 6.0% to 10.2% — 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 10.36%, rising 3.0pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 1.2pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.1pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 1.7pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 0.4pp).
Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 38.0 days.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 9.52%, rising 3.7pp. That translates to 9.52 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 2.7pp and capital turnover rose 0.15x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — 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.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Balance Sheet
ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.23x equity, net debt at 0.04x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 4.8bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables. Pressure from higher inventories and lower payables only partly offset that benefit.
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 10.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 0.3 days, DSO fell 11.0 days, and DPO fell 0.7 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.
Watchpoints
DIO increased by +0.3 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.04x and interest coverage at 16.16x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 27.5% of total debt, cash equals 56.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 23.0bn.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 53.9bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -54.1bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +0.2bn. Financing cash flow was positive +6.3bn.
CFO / net income was 1.78x.
After spending +29.5bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +16.5bn.

Investment Takeaway
The business is entering a broader improvement phase — not just stronger earnings but better operating quality as well. Margin, ROIC, and cash flow all improving shows the business is growing in a cleaner and more efficient way than before. Notably, the improvement trend has been confirmed across multiple cycles, from margin to capital efficiency and cash generation. Even so, the earnings mix remains the area to verify in upcoming periods, when non-core contribution is 19.3%.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 10.36% after expanding 3.0pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 1.78x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 19.3% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
