Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 14.7% = 4.3% × 2.32 × 1.47
2026Q1 13.4% = 4.2% × 2.41 × 1.34

ROE fell from 14.7% to 13.4% — leverage weakened the most, though asset turnover still provided support.

Net margin: 4.2% -0.1pp Asset turnover: 2.41x +0.08x Leverage: 1.34x -0.13x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin stands at 4.16%, 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.

Is capital being used efficiently?

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

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.34x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.27x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 2.8bn of cash, mainly because of higher inventories and lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower receivables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +1.5bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −2.8bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −1.5bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 0.5 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 2.5 days, DSO fell 4.9 days, and DPO fell 2.9 days.

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

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle is lengthening

CCC is up by +0.5 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +2.5 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Cash Conversion Cycle 24.4 days +0.5 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 6.0bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.27x and interest coverage at 682.63x.

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.

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 earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 1.21x. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.21x.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
