What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, APF is growing strongly on the back of scale expansion, while margins have only improved slightly. 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 9.9% = 2.1% × 1.35 × 3.42
2026Q1 15.6% = 2.6% × 1.85 × 3.21

ROE rose from 9.9% to 15.6% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 2.6% +0.5pp Asset turnover: 1.85x +0.50x Leverage: 3.21x -0.21x

Is the profit sustainable?

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

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin edged up to 2.63%, rising 0.5pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 2.8pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 2.1pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.0pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.1pp remained a drag).

The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

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 EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC
NOPAT Margin
Capital Turnover 2.08x +0.57x
Average Invested Capital 3,580.7bn −88.6bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Leverage is elevated, requiring monitoring — liabilities at 1.63x equity, net debt at 1.58x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 798.4bn, roughly 24.1% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 428.3bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower inventories and higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −496.1bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +848.9bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +75.4bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 50.5 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 50.8 days, DSO fell 3.4 days, and DPO fell 3.7 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 111.2 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Conversion Cycle 111.2 days −50.5 days

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.58x and interest coverage only at 1.32x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 91.4% of total debt, cash equals 6.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 2,193.7bn.

Watchpoints

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 1.58x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 1.32x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 1.58x −0.57x
Interest Coverage 1.32x +0.42x
Cash / Debt 6.5% +3.6pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 91.4% −3.4pp
CFO / NI 4.35x +3.37x

Cash Flow

Leverage needs watching — cash flow below shows the ability to service debt from operations. Operating cash flow reached 672.4bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -213.3bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +459.1bn. Financing cash flow was negative +393.8bn.

CFO / net income was 4.35x.

After spending +170.3bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +652.0bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 822.3bn +708.0bn
Cash Capex 170.3bn −63.3bn
FCF TTM +652.0bn +771.3bn

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 cash generation. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 1.32x.

Improvement: cash generation is recovering, with trailing-12M FCF improving by 771.3bn versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 1.32x.
