What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 28.13%, rising 4.6pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 2.8pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.6pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.1pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.7pp remained a drag).

The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Return on capital rose, but cash cycle lengthened by 3.2 days — working capital needs watching.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC edged up to 18.45%, rising 1.5pp. That translates to 18.45 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. NOPAT margin rose 5.2pp was enough to offset the decline from capital turnover fell 0.09x, while invested capital rose by 140bn.

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 0.11x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.17x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 36.9bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables. Part of that drag was offset by lower inventories and higher payables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −50.6bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +11.9bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +1.8bn

Working Capital Efficiency

The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 3.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 0.1 days, DSO rose 5.0 days, and DPO rose 1.7 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower receivables collection — receivables quality needs monitoring.

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 4.6 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 15.1%.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 28.13% after expanding 4.6pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 15.1% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.72x.
