What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, BSL has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — profit is at an all-time high. Profit growth is driven mainly by better operations rather than scale expansion — a foundation that tends to be more durable.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 6.9% to 13.1% — mainly driven by net margin, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.
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 7.31%, rising 3.6pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 3.6pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 0.1pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.5pp).
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.

Balance Sheet
ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.30x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.15x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 78.7bn, roughly 11.8% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 13.2bn 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
Working Capital Efficiency
The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 2.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 2.6 days, DSO rose 4.2 days, and DPO rose 4.6 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to shorter payment timing — may reflect pressure from suppliers.
Watchpoints
CCC is up by +2.2 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.
DSO increased by +4.2 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 70.7bn.
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 70.7bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -48.3bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +22.4bn. Financing cash flow was negative +30.6bn.
CFO / net income was 1.66x.
After spending +11.8bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +101.0bn.

Investment Takeaway
The business is entering a broader improvement phase — not just stronger earnings but better operating quality as well. Margin, ROIC, and cash flow all improving shows the business is growing in a cleaner and more efficient way than before. Notably, the improvement trend has been confirmed across multiple cycles, from margin to capital efficiency and cash generation. Even so, the earnings mix remains the area to verify in upcoming periods, when non-core contribution is 19.1%.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 7.31% after expanding 3.6pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 1.66x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 19.1% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
