What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PAT posted slightly higher revenue but margins narrowed — the two forces offset each other, leaving the overall picture largely unchanged — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. More notably, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this is pressure that needs close monitoring.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 51.7% = 16.8% × 1.91 × 1.62
2026Q1 51.1% = 16.2% × 2.17 × 1.46

ROE fell from 51.7% to 51.1% — leverage weakened the most, though asset turnover still provided support.

Net margin: 16.2% -0.6pp Asset turnover: 2.17x +0.26x Leverage: 1.46x -0.16x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.

What is driving the margin?

Net margin narrowed to 16.20%, falling 0.6pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 2.8pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 1.8pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.1pp).

The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC stands at 44.35%, broadly flat versus the same period. That translates to 44.35 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. NOPAT margin narrowed 0.6pp, but capital turnover rose 0.08x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — the two factors are offsetting each other, keeping overall ROIC nearly unchanged.

Overall ROIC is flat while internal components are moving — watch which side becomes dominant in coming periods.

ROIC 44.35% −0.3pp
NOPAT Margin 16.19% −0.6pp
Capital Turnover 2.74x +0.08x
Average Invested Capital 697.1bn +49.4bn

Balance Sheet

Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 1.44x equity, net debt at 0.28x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 367.3bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −22.1bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −12.3bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −332.9bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 5.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 0.8 days, DSO fell 9.7 days, and DPO fell 16.2 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to shorter payment timing — may reflect pressure from suppliers.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle is lengthening

CCC is up by +5.8 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 15.2 days −9.7 days

Cash Conversion Cycle 21.6 days +5.8 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 158.0bn due to capex of 101.0bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.28x and interest coverage at 23.35x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 1.0% of debt, and total debt stands at 176.9bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 1.0%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Interest Coverage 23.35x +5.33x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 359.1bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -360.6bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +1.4bn. Financing cash flow was positive +26.1bn.

CFO / net income was -0.18x.

After spending +101.0bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −158.0bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 57.0bn −416.6bn
Cash Capex 101.0bn
FCF TTM −158.0bn

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 leverage and liquidity remaining the main constraint, with interest coverage at 23.35x. The main offsetting support comes from earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at -0.18x.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at -0.18x.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity remain a pressure point, with net debt / equity at 0.28x and a thin cash buffer.
