What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, AME is growing strongly on the back of scale expansion, while margins have only improved slightly — profit is at an all-time high. What is still missing is the ability to translate this revenue momentum into more visible margin improvement.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 2.8% = 0.6% × 1.23 × 3.95
2026Q1 4.5% = 0.8% × 1.37 × 4.37

ROE rose from 2.8% to 4.5% — all three components improved, with leverage contributing the most.

Net margin: 0.8% +0.2pp Asset turnover: 1.37x +0.14x Leverage: 4.37x +0.42x

Is the profit sustainable?

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

What is driving the margin?

Net margin stands at 0.76%, 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?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC edged up to 1.42%, rising 0.4pp. That translates to 1.42 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is capital turnover rose 0.23x — the business is generating more revenue per unit of capital, with NOPAT margin steady; while invested capital rose by 402bn.

Capital turnover improved — a positive signal on asset efficiency, but with ROIC still low, NOPAT margin also needs to lift in coming periods to produce meaningful returns.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently 1.42% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 1.42% +0.4pp
NOPAT Margin 0.75% +0.1pp
Capital Turnover 1.89x +0.23x
Average Invested Capital 2,820.4bn +402.3bn

Balance Sheet

Leverage is very high, with clear pressure on the capital structure — liabilities at 3.26x equity, net debt at 2.05x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 838.2bn, roughly 21.6% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 593.1bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −99.0bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +119.7bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −613.8bn

Working Capital Efficiency

The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 1.1 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 8.4 days, DSO fell 1.6 days, and DPO fell 11.2 days.

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

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 106.6 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 87.8 days −1.6 days
Inventory 62.8 days −8.4 days
Payables 44.0 days −11.2 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 106.6 days +1.1 days

Is financial risk significant?

High leverage combined with negative operating cash flow — this area needs close monitoring.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 2.05x and interest coverage only at 0.33x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 1.6% of debt, and total debt stands at 1,902.5bn.

Watchpoints

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 2.05x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.33x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Interest Coverage 0.33x +0.06x

CFO / NI 2.99x +41.13x

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Flow

High leverage combined with cash flow below reveals the actual liquidity pressure. Operating cash flow reached -396.7bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 81.7bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +315.1bn. Financing cash flow was positive +313.1bn.

CFO / net income was 2.99x.

After spending +0.3bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +120.5bn.

Cash Conversion

CFO TTM 120.8bn +453.9bn
Cash Capex 0.3bn
FCF TTM +120.5bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is under real pressure, but the current picture has not turned broadly adverse. A notable area has clearly weakened, making the near-term outlook hard to call bright; even so, other parts of the business are still holding up, with capital efficiency remains weak remaining the main constraint, with ROIC at 1.4%. The main offsetting support comes from earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 2.99x.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 2.99x.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
