What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, TMX has not accelerated revenue, but profitability is improving more visibly — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. However, profit is significantly supported by non-core sources and operating cash flow is not yet positive — the improvement signal needs more time to confirm.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 0.6% = 0.1% × 3.50 × 1.59
2026Q1 6.9% = 1.2% × 3.50 × 1.57

ROE rose from 0.6% to 6.9% — mainly driven by net margin, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Is the profit sustainable?

Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin edged up to 1.25%, rising 1.1pp. The main driver is SG&A / Revenue fell 1.2pp and Gross margin rose 0.3pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.1pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.2pp remained a drag).

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

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Margin support from financial result remains high (45.5% of PBT) — sustainability should be monitored.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency should be read in industry context — ROIC may fluctuate with business specifics.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.

Industry characteristics make ROIC cyclical — this is a reference signal and should be read with the business context.

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.46x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.23x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 29.0bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −25.5bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +2.0bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −5.6bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 4.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 0.7 days, DSO fell 4.0 days, and DPO fell 0.5 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.

Receivables 25.3 days −4.0 days
Inventory 1.5 days −0.7 days
Payables 29.3 days −0.5 days
Cash Conversion Cycle -2.6 days −4.2 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 3.1bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage is balanced for now, with net debt / equity at -0.23x and interest coverage at 3.79x.

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.

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 3.1bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -7.0bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +3.9bn. Financing cash flow was negative +1.5bn.

CFO / net income was -5.35x.

Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.

Cash capex or FCF data is incomplete, so the cash-conversion view is only partial.

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing a brighter picture at the headline-earnings level, but what deserves a closer look right now is the quality of that improvement. Margins and net profit may look better, but if financial income, other income, or unusually low taxes contribute too much, this is not yet a clean enough growth base to extrapolate further. The main bright spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 1.1 pp. Even so, the earnings mix still warrants monitoring in upcoming periods, when non-core contribution is 32.3%.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 1.25% after expanding 1.1pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 32.3% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -5.35x.
