Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 3.3% = 2.1% × 0.52 × 3.04
2026Q1 4.8% = 2.9% × 0.57 × 2.88

ROE rose from 3.3% to 4.8% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 2.9% +0.8pp Asset turnover: 0.57x +0.04x Leverage: 2.88x -0.16x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin edged up to 2.93%, rising 0.8pp. Core operating signals are improving as SG&A / Revenue fell 1.2pp are enough to offset pressure from Gross margin fell 0.7pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 2.5pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.5pp remained a drag).

Margin improves from both core operations and non-core items — the core foundation is positive, but the sustainability of non-core contributions needs monitoring.

Profitability trend

Net Margin 2.93% +0.8pp
Gross Margin 16.00% −0.7pp
SG&A / Revenue 9.88% −1.2pp

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC narrowed to 1.97%, falling 0.7pp. That translates to 1.97 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from NOPAT margin narrowed 1.2pp, outweighing the movement in capital turnover; with invested capital easing up by 475bn.

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

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently 1.97% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 1.97% −0.7pp
NOPAT Margin 2.61% −1.2pp
Capital Turnover 0.75x +0.06x
Average Invested Capital 13,687.3bn +475.3bn

Balance Sheet

Leverage is elevated, requiring monitoring — liabilities at 2.00x equity, net debt at 1.12x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 1,975.9bn, roughly 10.3% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 8.6bn 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: −59.2bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −275.4bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +326.1bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 0.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 1.9 days, DSO fell 6.8 days, and DPO fell 5.6 days.

Working capital cycle is flat — components are offsetting each other.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 118.7 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +1.9 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 62.6 days −6.8 days
Inventory 84.2 days +1.9 days
Payables 28.1 days −5.6 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 118.7 days +0.7 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 1,309.5bn due to capex of 1,543.1bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.12x and interest coverage only at 0.55x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 57.8% of total debt, cash equals 15.8% of debt, and total debt stands at 8,766.2bn.

Watchpoints

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 1.12x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.55x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 1.12x −0.08x
Interest Coverage 0.55x −0.08x
Cash / Debt 15.8% +4.4pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 57.8% +3.6pp

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 555.2bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -1,173.3bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +618.1bn. Financing cash flow was positive +465.1bn.

CFO / net income was 1.43x.

After spending +1,543.1bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −1,309.5bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 233.6bn −382.8bn
Cash Capex 1,543.1bn +1,027.0bn
FCF TTM −1,309.5bn −1,409.8bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is under real pressure, but the current picture has not turned broadly adverse. A notable area has clearly weakened, making the near-term outlook hard to call bright; even so, other parts of the business are still holding up, with capital efficiency remains weak remaining the main constraint, with ROIC at 2.0%. The main offsetting support comes from earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 1.43x.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.43x.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
