What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, CLH posted slightly higher revenue but margins narrowed — the two forces offset each other, leaving the overall picture largely unchanged — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. What remains unclear is which side will dominate in coming periods.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE is broadly flat at 20.5% — the components are offsetting one another.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin stands at 5.65%, broadly flat versus the same period. Supportive factors and pressure points are offsetting one another.
Margin is nearly flat but the underlying components are moving — this is a transitional phase, more time is needed to see the real trend.

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 0.55x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.09x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 3.7bn of cash, mainly because of higher inventories and lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower receivables.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 9.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 1.4 days, DSO fell 2.8 days, and DPO rose 4.8 days.
All 3 drivers (collection, inventory, payables) are improving — working capital turnover is strengthening across the board.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 36.1bn.
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 36.1bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -91.5bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +55.4bn. Financing cash flow was negative +27.8bn.
CFO / net income was 1.15x.
After spending +12.9bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +35.3bn.

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, capital efficiency remains the area to verify in upcoming periods.
Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.15x.
Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
