What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, UXC posted a sharp profit increase versus the same period, suggesting a clear improvement from a low base — profit is at an all-time high. However, most of the profit comes from non-core sources — this needs careful evaluation before concluding on growth quality.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins improved (+9.3pp), 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 expanded to 1.53%, rising 9.3pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 7.0pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 1.2pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 2.7pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 1.6pp remained a drag).

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

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 9.3 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is -631.1%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at -0.56x.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 1.53% after expanding 9.3pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 4.58x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for -631.1% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at -0.56x.
