What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, BKC has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — profit is at an all-time high. However, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this needs monitoring in coming periods.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 25.3% = 10.1% × 1.23 × 2.04
2026Q1 31.0% = 17.0% × 1.02 × 1.79

ROE rose from 25.3% to 31.0% — mainly driven by net margin, despite asset turnover and leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 17.0% +6.9pp Asset turnover: 1.02x -0.21x Leverage: 1.79x -0.25x

Is the profit sustainable?

Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 16.96%, rising 6.9pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 6.5pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.1pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 1.9pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 0.2pp).

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

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Is capital being used efficiently?

Return on capital rose, but cash cycle lengthened by 31.3 days — working capital needs watching.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 24.14%, rising 6.8pp. That translates to 24.14 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 6.9pp, with capital turnover fell 0.31x; while invested capital expanded strongly by 71bn.

Capital efficiency improved through NOPAT margin — this is a quality-led improvement when operating profit leads.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 24.14% +6.8pp
NOPAT Margin 16.87% +6.9pp
Capital Turnover 1.43x −0.31x
Average Invested Capital 375.7bn +71.3bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.62x equity, net debt at 0.30x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 226.0bn, roughly 41.2% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 181.6bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −11.9bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −106.7bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −63.0bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 31.3 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 52.3 days, DSO fell 25.7 days, and DPO fell 4.7 days.

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

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 155.1 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +52.3 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 11.0 days −25.7 days
Inventory 190.9 days +52.3 days
Payables 46.7 days −4.7 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 155.1 days +31.3 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 125.3bn due to capex of 12.6bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.30x and interest coverage at 14.25x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 81.5% of total debt, cash equals 36.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 164.6bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 81.5% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Interest Coverage 14.25x +9.07x

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 6.9 pp. The main risk still sits in working capital is tied up too long in the operating cycle, with CCC extended to 155 days.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 16.96% after expanding 6.9pp versus the same period last year.

Key risk: working capital remains tied up for too long, with cash cycle at 155.1 days.
