What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SBM is holding revenue at an acceptable level, but margins are eroding visibly — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. What is still missing is better cost control to prevent margin pressure from spreading to the overall profit result.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 25.3% = 54.0% × 0.44 × 1.06
2026Q1 25.6% = 50.6% × 0.47 × 1.08

ROE is broadly flat at 25.6% — the components are offsetting one another.

Net margin: 50.6% -3.4pp Asset turnover: 0.47x +0.03x Leverage: 1.08x +0.01x

Is the profit sustainable?

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

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin fell to 50.63%, losing 3.4pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 1.4pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 0.2pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.2pp).

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

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for utilities should be read alongside regulated tariffs and long-cycle depreciation — ROIC of 27.4% reflects a large fixed-asset base.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC edged up to 27.43%, rising 1.3pp. That translates to 27.43 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. capital turnover rose 0.06x was enough to offset the contraction in NOPAT margin narrowed 3.3pp, with invested capital holding roughly steady.

For utilities, ROIC reflects returns on a large fixed-asset base — this is a reference signal and should be read alongside regulated tariffs.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 27.43% +1.3pp
NOPAT Margin 50.63% −3.3pp
Capital Turnover 0.54x +0.06x
Average Invested Capital 545.3bn −29.6bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC for utilities reflects a large fixed-asset base and regulated tariffs — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.13x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.06x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 10.8bn 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: −29.4bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −0.1bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +18.8bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 3.6 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 0.1 days, DSO fell 0.6 days, and DPO rose 3.1 days.

Extended payment timing is the main driver — consider whether this trades off supplier relationships.

For utilities, working capital cycle reflects regulated pricing mechanics and long-term settlement contracts — DSO/DIO/DPO should be treated as contextual signals rather than pure efficiency indicators.

Watchpoints

Inventory turnover is slowing

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

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 16.2 days −0.6 days
Inventory 0.2 days +0.1 days
Payables 10.9 days +3.1 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 5.6 days −3.6 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 178.9bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.06x and interest coverage at 65.71x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 91.2% of total debt, cash equals 206.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 34.1bn.

Leverage for utilities reflects long-term capital needs for fixed assets and recovery through regulated pricing — elevated leverage is structural to the industry.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 91.2% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Interest Coverage 65.71x −40.17x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 178.9bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -6.1bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +172.8bn. Financing cash flow was negative +152.7bn.

CFO / net income was 1.15x.

Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.

For utilities, high capex and long investment cycles are structural — short-term FCF volatility does not reflect long-term cash generation through regulated pricing.

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 margins remain under pressure remaining the main constraint, with net margin down 3.4 pp. The next watchpoint is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 27.4%. The main offsetting support comes from earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 1.15x.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.15x.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 50.63% after a 3.4pp decline versus the same period last year.
