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
ROE rose from 10.0% to 11.9% — all three components improved, with leverage contributing the most.
Is the profit sustainable?
Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.
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.

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.

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

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 debt accounts for 82.8% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.
Cash / debt stands at 18.2%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

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.
