What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SCD is declining across multiple metrics versus the same period, suggesting current pressure is not coming from just one side. More notably, profit is significantly supported by non-core sources and operating cash flow is not yet positive — the earnings quality picture needs close monitoring.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 109.9% = -40.0% × 0.27 × -10.29
2026Q1 52.3% = -40.5% × 0.28 × -4.68

ROE fell from 109.9% to 52.3% — net margin weakened the most, though asset turnover and leverage still provided support.

Net margin: -40.5% -0.5pp Asset turnover: 0.28x +0.01x Leverage: -4.68x +5.61x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin narrowed to -40.47%, falling 0.5pp. The main pressure is SG&A / Revenue rose 3.1pp, outweighing the improvement in Gross margin rose 5.0pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.7pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 3.1pp remained a drag).

Margin is under pressure from multiple sides — temporary and structural components need to be separated to properly assess the risk.

Profitability trend

Net Margin -40.47% −0.5pp
Gross Margin 30.84% +5.0pp
SG&A / Revenue 43.06% +3.1pp
Non-core / Revenue -28.74% −2.4pp

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Watchpoints

Financial result share remains high

Even though contribution decreased by 2.4pp, financial result still accounts for 70.2% of PBT — earnings durability should be monitored in coming periods.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency is declining — check whether the drag is from margins or turnover.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC fell to -14.82%, losing 2.1pp. That translates to -14.82 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from NOPAT margin narrowed 1.2pp, outweighing the movement in capital turnover; while invested capital contracted by 62bn.

Pressure came from the margin side — core operations are weakening, not just a temporary asset-management issue.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently -14.82% — 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 -14.82% −2.1pp
NOPAT Margin -36.83% −1.2pp
Capital Turnover 0.40x +0.05x
Average Invested Capital 429.0bn −62.3bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at -4.82x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 3.31x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 30.3bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +9.3bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +12.1bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +8.9bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 26.3 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 8.9 days, DSO fell 1.4 days, and DPO rose 33.7 days.

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

Watchpoints

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +8.9 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 16.9 days −1.4 days
Inventory 76.4 days +8.9 days
Payables 124.3 days +33.7 days
Cash Conversion Cycle -31.0 days −26.3 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 16.7bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at -3.31x and interest coverage only at -1.43x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 74.5% of total debt, cash equals 15.1% of debt, and total debt stands at 656.3bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is -1.43x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 74.5% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity -3.31x +2.44x
Interest Coverage -1.43x +0.11x
Cash / Debt 15.1% +4.9pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 74.5% +1.2pp
CFO / NI -0.74x −1.22x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 16.7bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -11.8bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +4.8bn. Financing cash flow was negative +1.2bn.

CFO / net income was -0.74x.

After spending +19.0bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +32.6bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 51.6bn +85.3bn
Cash Capex 19.0bn +8.4bn
FCF TTM +32.6bn +76.9bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing a few weaker signals, but the current magnitude is not yet clear enough to conclude that this is a broader weakening phase. The brighter spot is cash generation. 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 -14.8%.

Improvement: cash generation is recovering, with trailing-12M FCF improving by 76.9bn versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 61.2% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -0.74x.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
