What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SGP has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. However, a significant portion of profit is supported by non-core sources, making the picture not entirely clear.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 8.1% to 12.8% — mainly driven by net margin, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins improved (+11.1pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin expanded to 32.11%, rising 11.1pp. The main driver is SG&A / Revenue fell 5.8pp and Gross margin rose 2.2pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 5.2pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 10.8pp remained a drag).
The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Watchpoints
Even though contribution decreased by 5.6pp, non-core sources still accounts for 59.2% of PBT — earnings durability should be monitored in coming periods.
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 64.0 days.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 19.31%, rising 9.9pp. That translates to 19.31 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 20.6pp, with capital turnover broadly stable; while invested capital rose by 196bn.
Capital efficiency improved through NOPAT margin — this is a quality-led improvement when operating profit leads.

Balance Sheet
ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.90x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.13x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 75.7bn of cash, mainly thanks to higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables and higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 17.6 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 2.1 days, DSO fell 24.9 days, and DPO fell 5.2 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.
Watchpoints
DIO increased by +2.1 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 165.3bn.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.13x and interest coverage at 14.40x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 66.7% of total debt, cash equals 1100.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 43.9bn.
Watchpoints
Short-term debt accounts for 66.7% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

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 operating efficiency, with net margin improving 11.1 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 27.1%.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 32.11% after expanding 11.1pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 27.1% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.21x.
