What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SGS posted a very sharp profit drop versus the same period, showing that pressure has clearly fed through to the bottom line — margins have been compressing consistently over multiple periods. More notably, most of the profit comes from non-core sources — this needs careful evaluation before concluding on growth quality.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 7.5% = 14.6% × 0.46 × 1.11
2026Q1 3.4% = 8.6% × 0.35 × 1.15

ROE fell from 7.5% to 3.4% — asset turnover weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: 8.6% -6.0pp Asset turnover: 0.35x -0.12x Leverage: 1.15x +0.04x

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 fell to 8.57%, losing 6.0pp. The main pressure comes from Gross margin fell 9.3pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 3.4pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 4.6pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 0.9pp).

The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Financial result accounts for 93.8% of PBT and lifted net margin by 5.5pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.

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 0.11x equity, net debt at 0.03x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 5.2bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and higher payables. Pressure from higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +4.8bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −0.6bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +1.0bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 0.4 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 0.2 days, DSO fell 5.4 days, and DPO fell 5.6 days.

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

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle is lengthening

CCC is up by +0.4 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +0.2 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.03x and interest coverage at 111.06x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 69.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 15.0bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

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

Net Debt / Equity 0.03x +0.14x
Interest Coverage 111.06x −78.70x
Cash / Debt 69.2% −6977.7pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 100.0% +66.9pp
CFO / NI 0.98x −0.21x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 17.0bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 49.4bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +66.4bn. Financing cash flow was negative +1.2bn.

CFO / net income was 0.98x.

Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.

Cash capex or FCF data is incomplete, so the cash-conversion view is only partial.

Investment Takeaway

The business is under real pressure, but the current picture has not turned broadly adverse. A notable area has clearly weakened, making the near-term outlook hard to call bright; even so, other parts of the business are still holding up, with margins remain under pressure remaining the main constraint, with net margin down 6.0 pp. The next watchpoint is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 91.1%.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 91.1% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.98x.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 8.57% after a 6.0pp decline versus the same period last year.
