What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, BED is going through a period of clear decline across multiple metrics at once. What still needs to be determined is whether the business can find a stabilization point in the near term, or whether current pressure has not yet run its course.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 17.6% = 9.8% × 1.42 × 1.27
2026Q1 11.6% = 6.8% × 1.34 × 1.28

ROE fell from 17.6% to 11.6% — asset turnover weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: 6.8% -2.9pp Asset turnover: 1.34x -0.08x Leverage: 1.28x +0.01x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin fell to 6.82%, losing 2.9pp. The main pressure is SG&A / Revenue rose 1.3pp, outweighing the improvement in Gross margin rose 0.1pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.1pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 2.6pp remained a drag).

The pressure comes from non-core items while core operations hold their rhythm — margin has a basis to recover once this factor passes.

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.

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.24x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.25x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 14.2bn, roughly 27.4% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 3.6bn 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: +3.4bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +0.8bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −0.5bn

Working Capital Efficiency

The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 4.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 12.5 days, DSO fell 3.6 days, and DPO rose 4.9 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle is lengthening

CCC is up by +4.0 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +12.5 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 7.8bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Track net leverage, interest coverage, and the liquidity buffer on the balance sheet.

Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.

Some leverage signals are missing, so the current read should be treated as contextual.

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 7.8bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 1.5bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +9.3bn. Financing cash flow was negative +6.6bn.

CFO / net income was 1.72x.

Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.

Cash capex or FCF data is incomplete, so the cash-conversion view is only partial.

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 margins remain under pressure remaining the main constraint, with net margin down 2.9 pp. The next watchpoint is capital efficiency. The main offsetting support comes from earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 1.72x.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.72x.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 6.82% after a 2.9pp decline versus the same period last year.
