Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 13.9% = 10.8% × 0.85 × 1.52
2026Q1 16.9% = 12.8% × 0.89 × 1.48

ROE rose from 13.9% to 16.9% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 12.8% +2.0pp Asset turnover: 0.89x +0.05x Leverage: 1.48x -0.04x

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 12.79%, rising 2.0pp. The main driver is SG&A / Revenue fell 1.5pp and Gross margin rose 0.6pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.3pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.0pp remained a drag).

The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Gross Margin 23.95% +0.6pp
SG&A / Revenue 8.29% −1.5pp

Is capital being used efficiently?

Return on capital rose, but cash cycle lengthened by 12.2 days — working capital needs watching.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 14.20%, rising 1.7pp. That translates to 14.20 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 1.8pp, with capital turnover broadly stable; while invested capital rose by 121bn.

Capital efficiency improved through NOPAT margin — this is a quality-led improvement when operating profit leads.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 14.20% +1.7pp
NOPAT Margin 12.64% +1.8pp
Capital Turnover 1.12x −0.03x
Average Invested Capital 1,105.0bn +121.4bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.50x equity, net debt at 0.21x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 2.0bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower inventories and higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −9.0bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +0.6bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +10.4bn

Working Capital Efficiency

The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 12.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 0.1 days, DSO fell 4.0 days, and DPO fell 16.1 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 +12.2 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +0.1 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Cash Conversion Cycle 25.2 days +12.2 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.21x and interest coverage at 11.15x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 12.2% of total debt, cash equals 18.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 246.7bn.

Watchpoints

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 18.2%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +39.9bn. Financing cash flow was negative +69.3bn.

After spending +127.2bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +15.3bn.

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.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 12.79% after expanding 2.0pp versus the same period last year.
