What is driving the margin?

Net margin edged up to 3.15%, rising 0.8pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 0.8pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 0.3pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.1pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.2pp remained a drag).

Is capital being used efficiently?

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.68x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.26x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 11.2bn 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

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −4.2bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −12.3bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +5.3bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 0.3 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 1.1 days, DSO fell 0.8 days, and DPO rose 0.0 days.

Working capital cycle is flat — components are offsetting each other.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle is lengthening

CCC is up by +0.3 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.26x and interest coverage at 981.07x.

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.

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: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.16x.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
