What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, AAA posted a sharp profit increase versus the same period, suggesting a clear improvement from a low base — profit is at an all-time high. The point still to be proven is whether this new profit level can hold once the low-base effect fades.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 3.2% = 1.4% × 1.15 × 1.97
2026Q1 8.5% = 5.7% × 0.72 × 2.05

ROE rose from 3.2% to 8.5% — mainly driven by leverage, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 5.7% +4.3pp Asset turnover: 0.72x -0.42x Leverage: 2.05x +0.08x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 5.74%, rising 4.3pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 3.4pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.1pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 1.2pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.0pp remained a drag).

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

Is capital being used efficiently?

Return on capital rose, but cash cycle lengthened by 15.2 days — working capital needs watching.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 6.87%, rising 4.1pp. That translates to 6.87 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 4.3pp, with capital turnover fell 0.74x; while invested capital rose by 551bn.

NOPAT margin is driving the improvement — ROIC has cleared the deposit-rate threshold but not yet the typical cost of equity level, and this momentum needs to hold as new invested capital is fully deployed.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 6.87% +4.1pp
NOPAT Margin 5.74% +4.3pp
Capital Turnover 1.20x −0.74x
Average Invested Capital 7,593.7bn +551.0bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 1.12x equity, net debt at 0.26x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 458.3bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower inventories and higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −174.1bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +12.9bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +619.5bn

Working Capital Efficiency

The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 15.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 17.2 days, DSO rose 8.3 days, and DPO rose 10.3 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 +15.2 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +8.3 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Receivables 30.3 days +8.3 days
Inventory 38.9 days +17.2 days
Payables 25.9 days +10.3 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 43.3 days +15.2 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 20.8bn due to capex of 1,196.2bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.26x and interest coverage at 5.63x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 62.8% of total debt, cash equals 46.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 3,031.1bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 62.8% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Interest Coverage 5.63x +4.87x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 977.8bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -1,505.1bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +527.3bn. Financing cash flow was negative +287.0bn.

CFO / net income was 2.50x.

After spending +1,196.2bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −20.8bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Capex 1,196.2bn −75.8bn
FCF TTM −20.8bn +802.6bn

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 4.3 pp. Warning and risk signals are not yet decisive enough to shift the picture.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 5.74% after expanding 4.3pp versus the same period last year.
