What Is Changing

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 6.5% = 8.0% × 0.56 × 1.47
2026Q1 2.6% = 3.5% × 0.48 × 1.58

ROE fell from 6.5% to 2.6% — asset turnover weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: 3.5% -4.5pp Asset turnover: 0.48x -0.07x Leverage: 1.58x +0.12x

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 3.47%, losing 4.5pp. The main pressure is SG&A / Revenue rose 1.5pp, outweighing the improvement in Gross margin rose 2.6pp (with lingering pressure from Other profit / Revenue fell 4.0pp and Net financial result / Revenue fell 1.0pp).

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 3.47% −4.5pp
Gross Margin 21.76% +2.6pp
SG&A / Revenue 17.42% +1.5pp
Non-core / Revenue 0.15% −5.1pp

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Watchpoints

Non-core sources share remains high

Even though contribution decreased by 5.1pp, non-core sources still accounts for 59.4% of PBT — earnings durability should be monitored in coming periods.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC narrowed to 0.79%, falling 0.4pp. That translates to 0.79 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin narrowed 0.3pp and capital turnover fell 0.12x, while invested capital rose by 137bn — pressure came from both operational efficiency and asset efficiency.

Both margin and turnover weakened — this is a broad-based decline, and cyclical versus structural components need to be separated.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently 0.79% — 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 0.79% −0.4pp
NOPAT Margin 1.36% −0.3pp
Capital Turnover 0.58x −0.12x
Average Invested Capital 1,497.3bn +137.5bn

Balance Sheet

Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.58x equity, net debt at 0.35x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 13.9bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −7.1bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −0.0bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −6.9bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 13.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 0.6 days, DSO rose 0.5 days, and DPO rose 14.1 days.

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

Watchpoints

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +0.5 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +0.6 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 34.7 days +0.5 days
Inventory 4.9 days +0.6 days
Payables 21.3 days +14.1 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 18.3 days −13.0 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 165.3bn due to capex of 378.2bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.35x and interest coverage only at 0.49x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 44.2% of total debt, cash equals 18.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 486.2bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.49x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 18.5%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.35x +0.09x
Interest Coverage 0.49x −0.11x
Cash / Debt 18.5% −20.8pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 44.2% +5.7pp
CFO / NI 7.03x +4.05x

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 239.7bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -124.9bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +114.8bn. Financing cash flow was negative +122.7bn.

CFO / net income was 7.03x.

After spending +378.2bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −165.3bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 212.9bn −14.2bn
Cash Capex 378.2bn −355.9bn
FCF TTM −165.3bn +341.7bn

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 margins remain under pressure remaining the main constraint, with net margin down 4.5 pp. The next watchpoint is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is -56.1%. The main offsetting support comes from cash generation.

Improvement: cash generation is recovering, with trailing-12M FCF improving by 341.7bn versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 7.03x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for -56.1% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 3.47% after a 4.5pp decline versus the same period last year.
