Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 5.5% to 7.3% — mainly driven by leverage, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin edged up to 5.50%, rising 1.2pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 2.0pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 0.6pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.0pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 1.7pp 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.

Balance Sheet
ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.36x equity, net debt at 0.04x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 9.0bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and higher payables. Pressure from higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.
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 4.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 5.8 days, DSO fell 4.6 days, and DPO rose 6.0 days.
Extended payment timing is the main driver — consider whether this trades off supplier relationships.
Watchpoints
DIO increased by +5.8 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 88.2bn due to capex of 116.8bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.04x and interest coverage at 6.43x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 66.9% of debt, and total debt stands at 56.2bn.
Watchpoints
Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

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 1.2 pp. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 5.50% after expanding 1.2pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
