What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, TTS posted a sharp profit decline versus the same period — profit is at an all-time high. More notably, profit relies heavily on non-core sources while operating cash flow is negative — these two factors together suggest earnings quality needs cautious evaluation.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 2.4% = 0.1% × 5.07 × 3.69
2026Q1 -0.0% = -0.0% × 4.94 × 3.94

ROE fell from 2.4% to -0.0% — asset turnover weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: -0.0% -0.1pp Asset turnover: 4.94x -0.13x Leverage: 3.94x +0.25x

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 stands at -0.00%, broadly flat versus the same period. Supportive factors and pressure points are offsetting one another.

Margin is nearly flat but the underlying components are moving — this is a transitional phase, more time is needed to see the real trend.

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Margin support from financial result remains high (7095.9% 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.

Capital Turnover 10.32x +1.68x

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is balanced — liabilities at 2.42x equity, net debt at 0.78x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.1bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables. Pressure from higher inventories and lower payables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +32.4bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −0.9bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −31.5bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 1.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 3.4 days, DSO rose 11.1 days, and DPO rose 8.9 days.

Working capital cycle is flat — components are offsetting each other.

Watchpoints

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +11.1 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.78x and interest coverage only at -0.01x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 2.9% of debt, and total debt stands at 246.3bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is -0.01x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 82.6bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -1.1bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +81.5bn. Financing cash flow was negative +82.2bn.

CFO / net income was -583.18x.

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 under real pressure, but the current picture has not turned broadly adverse. A notable area has clearly weakened, making the near-term outlook hard to call bright; even so, other parts of the business are still holding up, with leverage and liquidity remaining the main constraint, with interest coverage at -0.01x. The next watchpoint is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 7055.6%.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 7055.6% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -583.18x.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at -0.01x.
