What Is Changing

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

2025Q1 3.7% = 3.9% × 0.61 × 1.57
2026Q1 7.6% = 6.4% × 0.74 × 1.63

ROE rose from 3.7% to 7.6% — all three components improved, with asset turnover contributing the most.

Is the profit sustainable?

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

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 6.36%, rising 2.5pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 1.4pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 0.2pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.9pp added support while Other profit / 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?

Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 21.8 days.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 6.05%, rising 3.0pp. That translates to 6.05 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 2.5pp and capital turnover rose 0.17x, while invested capital rose by 191bn — capital-return quality improved from both sides.

NOPAT margin is driving the improvement — ROIC has cleared the deposit-rate threshold but not yet the typical cost of equity level, and this momentum needs to hold as new invested capital is fully deployed.

ROIC 6.05% +3.0pp
NOPAT Margin 6.42% +2.5pp
Capital Turnover 0.94x +0.17x
Average Invested Capital 2,709.6bn +190.6bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.72x equity, net debt at 0.31x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 38.2bn 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

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −157.8bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −8.6bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +128.3bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 7.4 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 0.8 days, DSO fell 11.3 days, and DPO fell 4.8 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 58.2 days −11.3 days
Inventory 5.8 days −0.8 days
Payables 42.1 days −4.8 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 21.8 days −7.4 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 281.7bn due to capex of 484.3bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage is balanced for now, with net debt / equity at 0.31x and interest coverage at 3.24x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 32.1% of total debt, cash equals 31.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 1,001.8bn.

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 220.0bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -343.6bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +123.6bn. Financing cash flow was positive +167.4bn.

CFO / net income was 1.79x.

After spending +484.3bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −281.7bn.

Cash Conversion

Cash Capex 484.3bn +281.4bn
FCF TTM −281.7bn −238.6bn

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 2.5 pp. The main risk still sits in self-funded cash generation remains weak.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 6.36% after expanding 2.5pp versus the same period last year.

Key risk: self-funded cash generation remains weak, with trailing-12M FCF still at 281.7bn.
