What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, TSC posted a very sharp profit drop versus the same period, showing that pressure has clearly fed through to the bottom line. More notably, profit is significantly supported by non-core sources and operating cash flow is not yet positive — the earnings quality picture needs close monitoring.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 1.3% = 4.6% × 0.24 × 1.15
2026Q1 -0.9% = -3.1% × 0.21 × 1.39

ROE fell from 1.3% to -0.9% — net margin weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: -3.1% -7.8pp Asset turnover: 0.21x -0.03x Leverage: 1.39x +0.24x

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 -3.12%, losing 7.8pp. The main pressure comes from Gross margin fell 1.7pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 1.1pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 5.8pp).

The pressure comes from non-core items while core operations hold their rhythm — margin has a basis to recover once this factor passes.

Profitability trend

Net Margin -3.12% −7.8pp
Gross Margin 21.26% −1.7pp
SG&A / Revenue 24.10% +1.1pp
Non-core / Revenue 2.37% −6.6pp

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Watchpoints

Financial result share remains high

Even though contribution decreased by 6.6pp, financial result still accounts for 40.5% of PBT — earnings durability should be monitored in coming periods.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency is declining — check whether the drag is from margins or turnover.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC narrowed to 0.11%, falling 1.0pp. That translates to 0.11 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from NOPAT margin narrowed 3.9pp, outweighing the movement in capital turnover; while invested capital rose by 412bn.

Pressure came from the margin side — core operations are weakening, not just a temporary asset-management issue.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently 0.11% — 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 0.11% −1.0pp
NOPAT Margin 0.48% −3.9pp
Capital Turnover 0.23x −0.02x
Average Invested Capital 3,105.1bn +412.3bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.42x equity, net debt at 0.37x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 632.6bn 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: +458.9bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −23.1bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +196.9bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 6.1 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 13.8 days, DSO fell 0.4 days, and DPO rose 7.3 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 +6.1 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +13.8 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 45.5 days −0.4 days
Inventory 62.7 days +13.8 days
Payables 36.5 days +7.3 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 71.7 days +6.1 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.37x and interest coverage only at -0.12x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 70.0% of total debt, cash equals 6.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 969.2bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is -0.12x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 70.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.37x +0.23x
Interest Coverage -0.12x −4.75x
Cash / Debt 6.2% +1.7pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 70.0% +28.8pp
CFO / NI -22.69x −215.98x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 675.3bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -1,192.9bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +517.6bn. Financing cash flow was positive +529.5bn.

CFO / net income was -22.69x.

After spending +126.0bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +564.0bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 690.1bn +557.6bn
Cash Capex 126.0bn −231.1bn
FCF TTM +564.0bn +788.7bn

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 brighter spot is cash generation. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is -245.4%. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 7.8 pp.

Improvement: cash generation is recovering, with trailing-12M FCF improving by 788.7bn versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for -245.4% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -22.69x.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at -3.12% after a 7.8pp decline versus the same period last year.
