What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, TIS is improving on both growth and profitability, painting a notably more positive picture versus the same period — this marks a reversal from the difficult phase before. However, a significant portion of profit is supported by non-core sources, making the picture not entirely clear.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 -1.2% = -0.2% × 1.06 × 6.64
2026Q1 1.6% = 0.2% × 1.22 × 6.86

ROE rose from -1.2% to 1.6% — all three components improved, with leverage contributing the most.

Net margin: 0.2% +0.4pp Asset turnover: 1.22x +0.16x Leverage: 6.86x +0.23x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins improved (+0.4pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin edged up to 0.19%, rising 0.4pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 0.3pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 0.2pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.3pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.4pp remained a drag).

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

Profitability trend

Net Margin 0.19% +0.4pp
Gross Margin 3.23% +0.3pp
SG&A / Revenue 2.33% −0.2pp
Non-core / Revenue -0.56% −0.1pp

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Margin support from financial result remains high (46.1% of PBT) — sustainability should be monitored.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC edged up to 0.23%, rising 0.6pp. That translates to 0.23 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 0.3pp and capital turnover rose 0.34x, with invested capital easing slightly by 241bn — capital-return quality improved from both sides.

NOPAT margin led the improvement, but the ROIC level has not yet cleared typical cost of capital — margin needs to hold in coming periods rather than being a one-period rebound.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently 0.23% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 0.23% +0.6pp
NOPAT Margin 0.10% +0.3pp
Capital Turnover 2.19x +0.34x
Average Invested Capital 5,856.7bn −241.2bn

Balance Sheet

Leverage is very high, with clear pressure on the capital structure — liabilities at 6.08x equity, net debt at 2.78x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 1,937.8bn, roughly 18.3% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 204.0bn 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: +134.1bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −293.6bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +363.5bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 2.5 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 5.8 days, DSO fell 4.9 days, and DPO fell 8.2 days.

Extended payment timing is the main driver — consider whether this trades off supplier relationships.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 21.8 days −4.9 days
Inventory 61.8 days −5.8 days
Payables 36.2 days −8.2 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 47.4 days −2.5 days

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 2.78x and interest coverage only at 0.21x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 59.8% of total debt, cash equals 2.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 4,306.4bn.

Watchpoints

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 2.78x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.21x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 2.78x −0.12x
Interest Coverage 0.21x +0.74x
Cash / Debt 2.5% +1.8pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 59.8% −2.3pp
CFO / NI 13.48x +21.46x

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Flow

Leverage needs watching — cash flow below shows the ability to service debt from operations. Operating cash flow reached 166.1bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -41.2bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +124.9bn. Financing cash flow was negative +167.4bn.

CFO / net income was 13.48x.

After spending +43.6bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +290.1bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 333.7bn +178.8bn
Cash Capex 43.6bn +32.8bn
FCF TTM +290.1bn +146.0bn

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 cash generation. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is -213.6%. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 0.2%.

Improvement: cash generation is recovering, with trailing-12M FCF improving by 146.0bn versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 13.48x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for -213.6% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
