Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 31.0% = 16.4% × 0.79 × 2.40
2026Q1 32.0% = 18.0% × 0.75 × 2.36

ROE rose from 31.0% to 32.0% — mainly driven by net margin, despite asset turnover and leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 18.0% +1.6pp Asset turnover: 0.75x -0.04x Leverage: 2.36x -0.04x

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

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 17.99%, rising 1.6pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 1.2pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.4pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 0.3pp).

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

Balance Sheet

Capital structure is balanced — liabilities at 1.32x equity, net debt at 0.79x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 276.6bn 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: −350.5bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −511.8bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +585.6bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 5.9 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 12.6 days, DSO fell 1.9 days, and DPO rose 4.9 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.

Watchpoints

CCC is up by +5.9 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +12.6 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?

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

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage is balanced for now, with net debt / equity at 0.79x and interest coverage at 10.78x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 97.0% of total debt, cash equals 6.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 10,295.4bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

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

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 6.5%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

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 1.6 pp. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 10.78x.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 17.99% after expanding 1.6pp versus the same period last year.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity remain a pressure point, with net debt / equity at 0.79x and a thin cash buffer.
