What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SPB has not moved the needle on revenue, but profitability has edged up slightly — margins have been expanding consistently 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
ROE rose from 6.6% to 7.1% — mainly driven by leverage, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.
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 1.59%, rising 0.4pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 1.7pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.5pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.1pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.8pp 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.

Balance Sheet
ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Leverage is very high, with clear pressure on the capital structure — liabilities at 2.91x equity, net debt at 2.44x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 299.9bn, roughly 29.6% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.0bn of cash.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 29.3 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 27.5 days, DSO rose 2.7 days, and DPO rose 0.9 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.
Watchpoints
CCC stands at 122.6 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.
DSO increased by +2.7 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?
High leverage combined with negative operating cash flow — this area needs close monitoring.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 2.44x and interest coverage only at 0.38x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 52.5% of total debt, cash equals 7.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 690.6bn.
Watchpoints
Net debt / equity stands at 2.44x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Interest coverage is 0.38x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Leverage and liquidity trend

Cash Flow
High leverage combined with cash flow below reveals the actual liquidity pressure. Operating cash flow reached -27.9bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -106.2bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +134.1bn. Financing cash flow was positive +109.0bn.
CFO / net income was 5.69x.
After spending +117.9bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −15.5bn.

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 capital efficiency. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 0.38x.
Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 0.38x.
