What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, DQC is improving on both revenue and margins, suggesting current growth is backed by both scale and operating efficiency — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. However, most of the profit comes from non-core sources — this needs careful evaluation before concluding on growth quality.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 -11.5% = -12.2% × 0.57 × 1.64
2026Q1 2.0% = 1.6% × 0.83 × 1.57

ROE rose from -11.5% to 2.0% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 1.6% +13.8pp Asset turnover: 0.83x +0.26x Leverage: 1.57x -0.07x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins improved (+13.8pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 1.56%, rising 13.8pp. Core operating signals are improving as SG&A / Revenue fell 17.1pp are enough to offset pressure from Gross margin fell 2.2pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 1.6pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 2.6pp remained a drag).

The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Profitability trend

Net Margin 1.56% +13.8pp
Gross Margin 21.79% −2.2pp
SG&A / Revenue 19.53% −17.1pp
Non-core / Revenue -0.48% −1.1pp

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Watchpoints

Financial result share remains high

Even though contribution decreased by 1.1pp, financial result still accounts for 80.7% of PBT — earnings durability should be monitored in coming periods.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 198.3 days.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 0.35%, rising 9.7pp. That translates to 0.35 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 12.4pp and capital turnover rose 0.39x, while invested capital contracted by 144bn — capital-return quality improved from both sides.

NOPAT margin led the improvement, but the ROIC level has not yet cleared typical cost of capital — margin needs to hold in coming periods rather than being a one-period rebound.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently 0.35% — 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 0.35% +9.7pp
NOPAT Margin 0.30% +12.4pp
Capital Turnover 1.16x +0.39x
Average Invested Capital 883.3bn −143.6bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.45x equity, net debt at 0.06x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 296.8bn, roughly 26.2% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 65.1bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables. Pressure from higher inventories and lower payables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +141.9bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −12.4bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −64.4bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 111.5 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 55.4 days, DSO fell 62.1 days, and DPO fell 6.0 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 198.3 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 102.2 days −62.1 days
Inventory 144.5 days −55.4 days
Payables 48.4 days −6.0 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 198.3 days −111.5 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.06x and interest coverage only at 0.14x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 97.0% of total debt, cash equals 47.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 95.0bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.14x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 97.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.06x −0.12x
Interest Coverage 0.14x +19.94x
Cash / Debt 47.5% +26.1pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 97.0% −1.0pp
CFO / NI 6.09x +6.97x

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 75.9bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 2.6bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +78.5bn. Financing cash flow was negative +75.9bn.

CFO / net income was 6.09x.

After spending +12.8bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +81.7bn.

Cash Conversion

CFO TTM 94.5bn +8.5bn
Cash Capex 12.8bn
FCF TTM +81.7bn

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 13.8 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is -102.3%. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 0.3%.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 1.56% after expanding 13.8pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 6.09x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for -102.3% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
