What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, CSV is holding revenue at an acceptable level, but margins are eroding visibly — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. More notably, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this is pressure that needs close monitoring.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 17.3% = 13.4% × 1.13 × 1.14
2026Q1 13.4% = 9.5% × 1.16 × 1.22

ROE fell from 17.3% to 13.4% — net margin weakened the most, though asset turnover and leverage still provided support.

Net margin: 9.5% -4.0pp Asset turnover: 1.16x +0.03x Leverage: 1.22x +0.07x

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 9.45%, losing 4.0pp. The main pressure comes from Gross margin fell 3.2pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 1.6pp (with lingering pressure from Other profit / Revenue fell 0.1pp).

The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency is declining — check whether the drag is from margins or turnover.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC fell to 13.62%, losing 3.8pp. That translates to 13.62 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from NOPAT margin narrowed 3.9pp, outweighing the movement in capital turnover; while invested capital rose by 86bn.

Pressure came from the margin side — core operations are weakening, not just a temporary asset-management issue.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 13.62% −3.8pp
NOPAT Margin 9.49% −3.9pp
Capital Turnover 1.44x +0.13x
Average Invested Capital 1,606.7bn +86.5bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.27x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.02x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 484.7bn, roughly 23.5% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 273.7bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories. Part of that drag was offset by higher payables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −189.3bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −172.7bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +88.3bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 8.4 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 7.4 days, DSO rose 18.3 days, and DPO rose 2.4 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower receivables collection — receivables quality needs monitoring.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 127.5 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +18.3 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 61.1 days +18.3 days
Inventory 80.7 days −7.4 days
Payables 14.3 days +2.4 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 127.5 days +8.4 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 64.8bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.02x and interest coverage at 30.42x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 317.8% of debt, and total debt stands at 15.7bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Net Debt / Equity -0.02x −0.01x
Interest Coverage 30.42x −60.41x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 64.8bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -49.6bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +15.2bn. Financing cash flow was negative +96.1bn.

CFO / net income was -0.28x.

After spending +72.0bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −128.3bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 56.3bn −304.4bn
Cash Capex 72.0bn +46.4bn
FCF TTM −128.3bn −350.8bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing a few weaker signals, but the current magnitude is not yet clear enough to conclude that this is a broader weakening phase. The brighter spot is earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at -0.28x. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 4.0 pp.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at -0.28x.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 9.45% after a 4.0pp decline versus the same period last year.
