What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, GEX is maintaining revenue growth, but margins have not improved proportionally — profit is at an all-time high. However, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this needs monitoring in coming periods.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 12.4% = 8.1% × 0.63 × 2.39
2026Q1 10.8% = 7.5% × 0.59 × 2.45

ROE fell from 12.4% to 10.8% — asset turnover weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: 7.5% -0.7pp Asset turnover: 0.59x -0.04x Leverage: 2.45x +0.05x

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 narrowed to 7.47%, falling 0.7pp. SG&A / Revenue fell 0.7pp and Gross margin rose 0.4pp improved but not enough to offset the weakness in Net financial result / Revenue fell 1.1pp (Other profit / Revenue rose 0.1pp still added support).

The pressure comes from non-core items while core operations hold their rhythm — margin has a basis to recover once this factor passes.

Profitability trend

Net Margin 7.47% −0.7pp
Gross Margin 20.85% +0.4pp
SG&A / Revenue 8.34% −0.7pp

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Is capital being used efficiently?

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

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC narrowed to 5.97%, falling 1.3pp. That translates to 5.97 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin narrowed 0.7pp and capital turnover fell 0.08x, while invested capital expanded strongly by 13,019bn — pressure came from both operational efficiency and asset efficiency.

Both margin and turnover weakened — this is a broad-based decline, and cyclical versus structural components need to be separated.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 5.97% −1.3pp
NOPAT Margin 7.35% −0.7pp
Capital Turnover 0.81x −0.08x
Average Invested Capital 52,124.7bn +13,018.8bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Capital structure is balanced — liabilities at 1.44x equity, net debt at 0.89x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 14,455.0bn, roughly 19.6% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 4,446.3bn 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: −5,630.5bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −382.4bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +1,566.7bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 35.5 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 39.6 days, DSO fell 4.0 days, and DPO rose 0.1 days.

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

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 152.7 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +39.6 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 24.5 days −4.0 days
Inventory 159.4 days +39.6 days
Payables 31.1 days +0.1 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 152.7 days +35.5 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 6,380.0bn due to capex of 5,264.9bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage is balanced for now, with net debt / equity at 0.89x and interest coverage at 2.38x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 39.2% of total debt, cash equals 14.4% of debt, and total debt stands at 35,497.7bn.

Watchpoints

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 14.4%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Interest Coverage 2.38x −0.01x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 546.2bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -5,016.7bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +4,470.5bn. Financing cash flow was positive +9,049.0bn.

CFO / net income was -0.72x.

After spending +5,264.9bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −6,380.0bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 1,115.1bn −1,471.2bn
Cash Capex 5,264.9bn +964.4bn
FCF TTM −6,380.0bn −2,435.6bn

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 working capital is tied up too long in the operating cycle remaining the main constraint, with CCC extended to 153 days. The next watchpoint is effective tax rate looks unusual, with effective tax rate at 34.9%.

Watchpoint: the effective tax rate looks unusual, so current net profit may not fully reflect underlying earnings quality.

Key risk: working capital remains tied up for too long, with cash cycle at 152.7 days.
