What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, ACG is growing strongly on the back of scale expansion, while margins have only improved slightly — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. However, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this needs monitoring in coming periods.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 10.0% = 10.4% × 0.71 × 1.35
2026Q1 11.9% = 10.8% × 0.78 × 1.42

ROE rose from 10.0% to 11.9% — all three components improved, with leverage contributing the most.

Net margin: 10.8% +0.4pp Asset turnover: 0.78x +0.06x Leverage: 1.42x +0.07x

Is the profit sustainable?

Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin edged up to 10.78%, rising 0.4pp. Core operating signals are improving as SG&A / Revenue fell 1.8pp are enough to offset pressure from Gross margin fell 2.3pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 1.5pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.0pp remained a drag).

Margin improves from both core operations and non-core items — the core foundation is positive, but the sustainability of non-core contributions needs monitoring.

Profitability trend

Net Margin 10.78% +0.4pp
Gross Margin 28.85% −2.3pp
SG&A / Revenue 18.04% −1.8pp

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC edged up to 9.80%, rising 0.6pp. That translates to 9.80 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. capital turnover rose 0.12x was enough to offset the contraction in NOPAT margin narrowed 0.8pp, with invested capital easing up by 245bn.

Capital efficiency improved through turnover — a positive sign for asset efficiency, but this momentum needs to hold as capital expands.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 9.80% +0.6pp
NOPAT Margin 10.62% −0.8pp
Capital Turnover 0.92x +0.12x
Average Invested Capital 5,325.0bn +244.7bn

Balance Sheet

Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.58x equity, net debt at 0.21x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 1,543.8bn, roughly 22.1% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 205.0bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories. Part of that drag was offset by higher payables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −375.1bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −341.0bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +511.1bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 38.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 20.2 days, DSO fell 5.1 days, and DPO rose 12.7 days.

All 3 drivers (collection, inventory, payables) are improving — working capital turnover is strengthening across the board.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 134.9 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 47.0 days −5.1 days
Inventory 139.2 days −20.2 days
Payables 51.3 days +12.7 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 134.9 days −38.0 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 733.1bn due to capex of 429.5bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.21x and interest coverage at 13.99x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 82.8% of total debt, cash equals 18.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 1,205.1bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 82.8% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 18.2%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.21x +0.04x
Interest Coverage 13.99x −2.38x
Cash / Debt 18.2% +0.1pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 82.8% −17.2pp

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow reached -377.0bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 306.0bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +71.0bn. Financing cash flow was positive +303.4bn.

CFO / net income was -0.57x.

After spending +429.5bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −733.1bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 303.6bn −798.8bn
Cash Capex 429.5bn +382.5bn
FCF TTM −733.1bn −1,181.2bn

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 next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 20.8%. The main risk still sits in working capital is tied up too long in the operating cycle, with CCC extended to 135 days.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 20.8% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -0.57x.

Key risk: working capital remains tied up for too long, with cash cycle at 134.9 days.
