What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SAM is growing strongly on the back of scale expansion, while margins have only improved slightly — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. However, profit is significantly supported by non-core sources and operating cash flow is not yet positive — the improvement signal needs more time to confirm.

Is the profit sustainable?

Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin stands at 1.66%, broadly flat versus the same period. Supportive factors and pressure points are offsetting one another.

Margin is nearly flat but the underlying components are moving — this is a transitional phase, more time is needed to see the real trend.

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Financial result accounts for 57.1% of PBT and lifted net margin by 1.3pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC stands at 1.72%, broadly flat versus the same period. That translates to 1.72 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. NOPAT margin narrowed 0.5pp, but capital turnover rose 0.29x, while invested capital rose by 431bn — 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.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently 1.72% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 13.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 9.1 days, DSO fell 5.8 days, and DPO fell 1.3 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.

Receivables 28.8 days −5.8 days
Inventory 24.8 days −9.1 days
Payables 5.7 days −1.3 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 47.9 days −13.7 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 615.2bn due to capex of 11.0bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.37x and interest coverage only at 1.39x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 86.2% of total debt, cash equals 10.7% of debt, and total debt stands at 1,949.6bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 1.39x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 86.2% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Interest Coverage 1.39x −0.06x

After spending +11.0bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −615.2bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 604.2bn −604.2bn
Cash Capex 11.0bn +11.0bn
FCF TTM −615.2bn −615.2bn

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. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 1.7%.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 52.1% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -6.22x.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
