Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Margin support from financial result remains high (31.2% of PBT) — sustainability should be monitored.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Balance Sheet

Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.40x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.02x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 4.7bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower inventories. Pressure from lower payables only partly offset that benefit.

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. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at -12.21x.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 1.84x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 31.2% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at -12.21x.
