What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, RCC posted a sharp profit increase versus the same period, suggesting a clear improvement from a low base — profit is at an all-time high. However, most of the profit comes from non-core sources — this needs careful evaluation before concluding on growth quality.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 -4.8% = -2.6% × 0.70 × 2.65
2026Q1 -1.0% = -0.6% × 0.63 × 2.68

ROE rose from -4.8% to -1.0% — mainly driven by leverage, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: -0.6% +2.0pp Asset turnover: 0.63x -0.07x Leverage: 2.68x +0.03x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins improved (+2.0pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to -0.58%, rising 2.0pp. Despite pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 1.3pp and Gross margin fell 1.1pp, the offset came from Net financial result / Revenue rose 4.0pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 0.6pp.

Margin improves from both core operations and non-core items — the core foundation is positive, but the sustainability of non-core contributions needs monitoring.

Profitability trend

Net Margin -0.58% +2.0pp
Gross Margin 6.20% −1.1pp
SG&A / Revenue 6.03% +1.3pp
Non-core / Revenue 0.05% +4.6pp

Watchpoints

Other income is supporting margin

Other income accounts for 85.3% of PBT and lifted net margin by 4.6pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 159.4 days.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC edged up to -0.07%, rising 1.1pp. That translates to -0.07 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 1.1pp, with capital turnover fell 0.20x; while invested capital rose by 63bn.

NOPAT margin is the main cushion preventing ROIC from slipping as invested capital keeps expanding — the quality of this improvement depends on whether margin holds once the new capital is fully deployed.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently -0.07% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC -0.07% +1.1pp
NOPAT Margin -0.08% +1.1pp
Capital Turnover 0.87x −0.20x
Average Invested Capital 750.6bn +63.3bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Leverage is elevated, requiring monitoring — liabilities at 1.85x equity, net debt at 1.04x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 132.2bn, roughly 11.3% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 108.1bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables. Part of that drag was offset by lower inventories and higher payables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −252.7bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +74.3bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +70.3bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 27.1 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 35.3 days, DSO rose 37.9 days, and DPO rose 29.7 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 159.4 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +37.9 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.04x and interest coverage only at 0.01x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 99.4% of total debt, cash equals 1.6% of debt, and total debt stands at 401.8bn.

Watchpoints

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 1.04x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.01x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 1.04x +0.18x
Interest Coverage 0.01x +0.39x
Cash / Debt 1.6% −1.4pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 99.4% −0.1pp
CFO / NI 26.40x +32.01x

Cash Flow

High leverage combined with cash flow below reveals the actual liquidity pressure. Operating cash flow reached -104.2bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 68.2bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +36.1bn. Financing cash flow was positive +76.8bn.

CFO / net income was 26.40x.

Cash capex or FCF data is incomplete, so the cash-conversion view is only partial.

Investment Takeaway

The business is heading the right way, but the current picture is still at partial confirmation — not yet a fully clean case. The positive points have clearly improved, showing the operating base is better than before. The brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 2.0 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is -61.3%. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at -0.1%.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at -57.75% after expanding 2.0pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 26.40x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for -61.3% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
