What Is Changing
On a TTM 2024Q2 basis, BQB is improving on both revenue and margins, suggesting current growth is backed by both scale and operating efficiency — 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
ROE rose from -28.6% to -5.0% — all three components improved, with asset turnover contributing the most.
Is the profit sustainable?
Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin expanded to -2.19%, rising 27.8pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 14.7pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 13.1pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.1pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.1pp remained a drag).
The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2023Q2 -> 2024Q2
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 78.1 days.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to -5.22%, rising 24.6pp. That translates to -5.22 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 27.9pp and capital turnover rose 1.37x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — capital-return quality improved from both sides.
Both margin and turnover contributed — the improvement has a dual foundation, but with ROIC still at a low level, several more periods in the same direction are needed to confirm a substantive shift.
Watchpoints
ROIC is currently -5.22% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

Balance Sheet
ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.33x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.04x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 5.2bn, roughly 14.7% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 3.0bn of cash, mainly because of lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower receivables and lower inventories.
Working Capital Drivers

Working Capital Efficiency
Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 47.1 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 47.5 days, DSO rose 3.0 days, and DPO rose 2.5 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.
Watchpoints
DSO increased by +3.0 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 3.0bn.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at -0.04x and interest coverage only at -4510458.49x.
At present, total debt stands at 0.0bn.
Some leverage signals are missing, so the current read should be treated as contextual.
Watchpoints
Interest coverage is -4510458.49x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 3.0bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -1.6bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +1.4bn. Financing cash flow was positive 0.0bn.
CFO / net income was -1.25x.
After spending +1.2bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +0.5bn.

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 27.8 pp. The next item to monitor is effective tax rate looks unusual, with effective tax rate at 0.0%. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at -5.2%.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at -2.19% after expanding 27.8pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: the effective tax rate looks unusual, so current net profit may not fully reflect underlying earnings quality.
Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
