What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, NFC has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — profit is at an all-time high. Profit growth is driven mainly by better operations rather than scale expansion — a foundation that tends to be more durable.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 31.2% to 49.6% — mainly driven by leverage, despite asset turnover 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 12.17%, rising 5.5pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 5.6pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 1.2pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.1pp).
The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

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. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.26x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.80x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 253.4bn, roughly 61.4% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 38.8bn 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 3.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 8.7 days, DSO fell 7.5 days, and DPO rose 4.8 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.
Watchpoints
DIO increased by +8.7 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 32.5bn.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.80x and interest coverage at 28.18x.
Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.
Some leverage signals are missing, so the current read should be treated as contextual.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 32.5bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -11.7bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +20.9bn. Financing cash flow was negative +31.5bn.
CFO / net income was 0.63x.
After spending +9.0bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +90.9bn.

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, capital efficiency remains the area to verify in upcoming periods.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 12.17% after expanding 5.5pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
