What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, NOS is under pressure on both revenue and margins simultaneously — margins have been compressing consistently over multiple 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
ROE fell from 5.5% to 3.9% — net margin weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin fell to -243.56%, losing 59.9pp. The main pressure comes from Gross margin fell 27.1pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 6.4pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 33.2pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 59.6pp remained a drag).
Margin is under pressure from multiple sides — temporary and structural components need to be separated to properly assess the risk.

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 12.6 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 2.7 days, DSO rose 99.8 days, and DPO rose 109.8 days.
Extended payment timing is the main driver — consider whether this trades off supplier relationships.

Is financial risk significant?

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 0.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 3,129.2bn.
Watchpoints
Interest coverage is -1.57x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Investment Takeaway
The business is under real pressure, but the current picture has not turned broadly adverse. A notable area has clearly weakened, making the near-term outlook hard to call bright; even so, other parts of the business are still holding up, with margins remain under pressure remaining the main constraint, with net margin down 59.9 pp. The next watchpoint is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 76.7%.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 76.7% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -0.09x.
Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at -243.56% after a 59.9pp decline versus the same period last year.
