Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

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 edged up to 2.95%, rising 0.8pp. Despite pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.7pp and Gross margin fell 0.5pp, the offset came from Other profit / Revenue rose 0.6pp and Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.5pp.

Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.

Profitability trend

Net Margin 2.95% +0.8pp
Gross Margin 10.10% −0.5pp
SG&A / Revenue 5.74% +0.7pp

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC narrowed to 2.64%, falling 0.3pp. That translates to 2.64 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from capital turnover fell 0.28x — capital is being absorbed faster than revenue is being generated; while invested capital expanded strongly by 4,527bn.

Pressure came from turnover — added capital has not been absorbed quickly enough, a typical investment-cycle dynamic.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently 2.64% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2023Q1 -> 2025Q2

ROIC 2.64% −0.3pp
NOPAT Margin 2.48% +0.3pp
Capital Turnover 1.07x −0.28x
Average Invested Capital 23,724.5bn +4,527.0bn

Balance Sheet

Leverage is elevated, requiring monitoring — liabilities at 2.06x equity, net debt at 1.26x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 3,953.2bn, roughly 11.6% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 2,093.2bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables. Part of that drag was offset by lower inventories and higher payables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2023Q1 -> 2025Q2

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −2,483.3bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +245.6bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +144.5bn

Working Capital Efficiency

The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 5.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 4.2 days, DSO rose 4.9 days, and DPO fell 4.9 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 +5.7 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +4.9 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2023Q1 -> 2025Q2

Receivables 33.1 days +4.9 days
Inventory 58.4 days −4.2 days
Payables 11.0 days −4.9 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 80.5 days +5.7 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 2,255.7bn due to capex of 783.9bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.26x and interest coverage only at 0.36x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 71.4% of total debt, cash equals 16.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 18,481.2bn.

Watchpoints

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 1.26x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.36x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 1.26x +0.42x
Interest Coverage 0.36x +0.01x
Cash / Debt 16.5% −7.4pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 71.4% −23.3pp
CFO / NI -2.01x −2.74x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 62.9bn in 2023, against investing cash flow of -2,955.4bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +2,892.5bn. Financing cash flow was positive +4,377.2bn.

CFO / net income was -2.01x.

After spending +783.9bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −2,255.7bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2023Q1 -> 2025Q2

CFO TTM 1,471.8bn −1,844.0bn
Cash Capex 783.9bn +439.7bn
FCF TTM −2,255.7bn −2,283.7bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is balanced but not yet fully stable — some components are moving the right way while others still need monitoring. This is a state to keep watching, with not enough signal to tilt the thesis either way. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 16.0%. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 2.6%.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 16.0% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -2.01x.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
