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

2025Q1 5.5% = -183.6% × 0.37 × -0.08
2026Q1 3.9% = -243.6% × 0.32 × -0.05

ROE fell from 5.5% to 3.9% — net margin weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: -243.6% -59.9pp Asset turnover: 0.32x -0.05x Leverage: -0.05x +0.03x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

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.

Gross Margin -93.44% −27.1pp
SG&A / Revenue 14.89% +6.4pp

Watchpoints

Financial result share remains high

Even though contribution decreased by 26.4pp, financial result still accounts for 97.8% of PBT — earnings durability should be monitored in coming periods.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency should be read in industry context — ROIC may fluctuate with business specifics.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

Industry characteristics make ROIC cyclical — this is a reference signal and should be read with the business context.

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.

Watchpoints

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +99.8 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

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.
