What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SFC has not moved the needle on revenue, but profitability has edged up slightly — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. What remains unclear is whether this improvement can widen without revenue momentum to back it.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 12.5% = 1.3% × 5.56 × 1.72
2026Q1 13.8% = 1.6% × 5.68 × 1.50

ROE rose from 12.5% to 13.8% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 1.6% +0.3pp Asset turnover: 5.68x +0.12x Leverage: 1.50x -0.22x

Is the profit sustainable?

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

What is driving the margin?

Net margin edged up to 1.62%, rising 0.3pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 0.8pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.6pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.2pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.0pp 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 efficiency should be read in industry context — ROIC may fluctuate with business specifics.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.

Industry characteristics make ROIC cyclical — this is a reference signal and should be read with the business context.

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.52x equity, net debt at 0.07x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 6.8bn of cash, mainly because of higher inventories and lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower receivables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +0.3bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −3.4bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −3.7bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 0.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 0.8 days, DSO fell 0.2 days, and DPO fell 0.2 days.

Working capital cycle is flat — components are offsetting each other.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle is lengthening

CCC is up by +0.8 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +0.8 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Receivables 1.4 days −0.2 days
Inventory 5.9 days +0.8 days

Cash Conversion Cycle 3.4 days +0.8 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.07x and interest coverage at 23.00x.

Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.

Some leverage signals are missing, so the current read should be treated as contextual.

Interest Coverage 23.00x −2.74x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 21.6bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -67.9bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +46.4bn. Financing cash flow was negative +17.2bn.

CFO / net income was 0.47x.

After spending +3.1bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +7.6bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 10.8bn −15.4bn
Cash Capex 3.1bn +1.3bn
FCF TTM +7.6bn −16.7bn

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 next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 17.0%. Warning and risk signals are not yet decisive enough to shift the picture.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 17.0% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.47x.
