What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SEA is growing strongly on the back of scale expansion, while margins have only improved slightly — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. What is still missing is the ability to translate this revenue momentum into more visible margin improvement.

Selling expenses ↓ 0.5bn
Associates income ↓ 7.2bn

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 7.5% = 29.2% × 0.23 × 1.10
2026Q1 9.4% = 29.8% × 0.29 × 1.09

ROE rose from 7.5% to 9.4% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 29.8% +0.5pp Asset turnover: 0.29x +0.06x Leverage: 1.09x -0.01x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin edged up to 29.76%, rising 0.5pp. The main driver is SG&A / Revenue fell 3.7pp and Gross margin rose 1.7pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 2.3pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.9pp remained a drag).

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

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 108.8 days.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC edged up to 8.66%, rising 1.1pp. That translates to 8.66 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin narrowed 0.7pp, with capital turnover broadly stable; while invested capital rose by 258bn.

NOPAT margin is driving the improvement — ROIC has cleared the deposit-rate threshold but not yet the typical cost of equity level, and this momentum needs to hold as new invested capital is fully deployed.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 8.66% +1.1pp
NOPAT Margin 28.09% −0.7pp
Capital Turnover 0.31x +0.04x
Average Invested Capital 2,607.4bn +258.5bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.08x equity, net debt at 0.03x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 79.7bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −1.3bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −51.3bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −27.1bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 42.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 34.8 days, DSO fell 10.2 days, and DPO fell 2.2 days.

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

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 108.8 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 33.6 days −10.2 days
Inventory 80.0 days −34.8 days
Payables 4.8 days −2.2 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 108.8 days −42.8 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 5.0bn due to capex of 5.8bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.03x and interest coverage at 26.07x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 25.8% of debt, and total debt stands at 119.9bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Interest Coverage 26.07x −2.83x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 1.1bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -239.4bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +238.3bn. Financing cash flow was negative +29.4bn.

CFO / net income was 0.00x.

After spending +5.8bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −5.0bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 0.9bn −64.5bn
Cash Capex 5.8bn +5.5bn
FCF TTM −5.0bn −70.0bn

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 capital efficiency, with ROIC at 8.7%. The next item to monitor is effective tax rate looks unusual, with effective tax rate at 2.4%. The main risk still sits in self-funded cash generation remains weak.

Improvement: capital efficiency is improving, with trailing-12M ROIC at 8.66%, up 1.1pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the effective tax rate looks unusual, so current net profit may not fully reflect underlying earnings quality.

Key risk: self-funded cash generation remains weak, with trailing-12M FCF still at 5.0bn.
