What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, APC is going through a period of clear decline across multiple metrics at once. More notably, profit is significantly supported by non-core sources and operating cash flow is not yet positive — the earnings quality picture needs close monitoring.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 -4.1% = -18.7% × 0.15 × 1.45
2026Q1 -4.6% = -21.5% × 0.15 × 1.39

ROE is broadly flat at -4.6% — the components are offsetting one another.

Net margin: -21.5% -2.9pp Asset turnover: 0.15x +0.00x Leverage: 1.39x -0.06x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin fell to -21.51%, losing 2.9pp. The main pressure comes from Gross margin fell 3.3pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 3.0pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 2.7pp).

The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.

Profitability trend

Net Margin -21.51% −2.9pp
Gross Margin 17.89% −3.3pp
SG&A / Revenue 28.18% +3.0pp
Non-core / Revenue -11.37% +2.7pp

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Financial result accounts for 52.8% of PBT and lifted net margin by 2.7pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency should be read in industry context — ROIC may fluctuate with business specifics.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.

Industry characteristics make ROIC cyclical — this is a reference signal and should be read with the business context.

Capital Turnover 0.16x +0.00x

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 0.37x equity, net debt at 0.28x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 3.4bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower inventories. Pressure from lower payables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +5.8bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +1.2bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −3.5bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 18.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 2.8 days, DSO fell 9.9 days, and DPO rose 5.9 days.

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

Inventory 8.6 days −2.8 days
Payables 46.6 days +5.9 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 17.7 days −18.7 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.28x and interest coverage only at -1.90x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 11.7% of total debt, cash equals 9.0% of debt, and total debt stands at 166.2bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is -1.90x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 9.0%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Net Debt / Equity 0.28x −0.04x
Interest Coverage -1.90x −0.68x
Cash / Debt 9.0% +3.9pp

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 42.7bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 1.1bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +43.8bn. Financing cash flow was negative +42.1bn.

CFO / net income was -1.70x.

After spending +1.0bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +41.8bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 42.8bn −9.5bn
Cash Capex 1.0bn −3.0bn
FCF TTM +41.8bn −6.5bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing a few weaker signals, but the current magnitude is not yet clear enough to conclude that this is a broader weakening phase. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 2.9 pp.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 52.8% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -1.70x.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at -21.51% after a 2.9pp decline versus the same period last year.
