What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SGT posted a very sharp profit drop versus the same period, showing that pressure has clearly fed through to the bottom line — profit is at an all-time high. More notably, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this is pressure that needs close monitoring.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE fell from 21.9% to 0.8% — all three components weakened, with leverage being the main drag.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin fell to 1.82%, losing 16.7pp. The main pressure is SG&A / Revenue rose 5.8pp, outweighing the improvement in Gross margin rose 1.9pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.0pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 13.2pp remained a drag).
The pressure comes from non-core items while core operations hold their rhythm — margin has a basis to recover once this factor passes.
Profitability trend

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 0.31%, losing 8.1pp. That translates to 0.31 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin narrowed 16.6pp and capital turnover fell 0.28x, while invested capital rose by 324bn — pressure came from both operational efficiency and asset efficiency.
Both margin and turnover weakened — this is a broad-based decline, and cyclical versus structural components need to be separated.
Watchpoints
ROIC is currently 0.31% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

Balance Sheet
ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Leverage is elevated, requiring monitoring — liabilities at 2.16x equity, net debt at 1.47x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 3,726.6bn, roughly 48.7% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 48.6bn 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
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 1342.4 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 1391.0 days, DSO rose 48.1 days, and DPO rose 96.7 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.
Watchpoints
CCC stands at 2012.4 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.
DSO increased by +48.1 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?
Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 47.7bn due to capex of 32.6bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.47x and interest coverage only at 0.40x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 46.5% of total debt, cash equals 0.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 3,557.7bn.
Watchpoints
Net debt / equity stands at 1.47x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Interest coverage is 0.40x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 36.5bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -130.1bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +93.6bn. Financing cash flow was positive +154.5bn.
CFO / net income was -0.64x.
After spending +32.6bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −47.7bn.

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 next item to monitor is effective tax rate looks unusual, with effective tax rate at 79.6%. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 16.7 pp.
Watchpoint: the effective tax rate looks unusual, so current net profit may not fully reflect underlying earnings quality.
Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 1.82% after a 16.7pp decline versus the same period last year.
