What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SMN 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, a significant portion of profit is supported by non-core sources, further affecting earnings quality.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 13.4% = 2.2% × 4.92 × 1.23
2026Q1 1.2% = 0.3% × 2.75 × 1.55

ROE fell from 13.4% to 1.2% — asset turnover weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: 0.3% -1.9pp Asset turnover: 2.75x -2.18x Leverage: 1.55x +0.32x

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 0.29%, losing 1.9pp. The main pressure comes from Gross margin fell 1.3pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 0.4pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.5pp).

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

Gross Margin 12.63% −1.3pp
SG&A / Revenue 12.29% +0.4pp

Watchpoints

Financial result share remains high

Even though contribution decreased by 0.6pp, financial result still accounts for 63.8% of PBT — earnings durability should be monitored in coming periods.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Balance Sheet

Inventory ended the period at 90.5bn, roughly 63.9% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.0bn of cash.

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 24.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 54.2 days, DSO rose 8.3 days, and DPO rose 37.7 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle is lengthening

CCC is up by +24.8 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +8.3 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 1.2bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Track net leverage, interest coverage, and the liquidity buffer on the balance sheet.

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.

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 1.9 pp. The next watchpoint is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 46.8%. The main offsetting support comes from balance-sheet flexibility, with net cash/equity at about -0.06x.

Improvement: the balance sheet remains flexible, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.06x of equity.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 6.20x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 46.8% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 29.13% after a 1.9pp decline versus the same period last year.
