What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, GKM posted a very sharp profit drop versus the same period, showing that pressure has clearly fed through to the bottom line — margins have been compressing consistently over multiple periods. More notably, 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 1.8% = 12.8% × 0.10 × 1.36
2026Q1 -0.6% = -21.8% × 0.02 × 1.39

ROE fell from 1.8% to -0.6% — net margin weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: -21.8% -34.6pp Asset turnover: 0.02x -0.08x Leverage: 1.39x +0.02x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.

What is driving the margin?

Net margin fell to -21.75%, losing 34.6pp. The main pressure is SG&A / Revenue rose 26.6pp, outweighing the improvement in Gross margin rose 48.5pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 95.5pp).

Margin is under pressure from multiple sides — temporary and structural components need to be separated to properly assess the risk.

Watchpoints

Financial result share remains high

Even though contribution decreased by 95.5pp, financial result still accounts for 344.9% of PBT — earnings durability should be monitored in coming periods.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency should be read in industry context — ROIC may fluctuate with business specifics.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.

Industry characteristics make ROIC cyclical — this is a reference signal and should be read with the business context.

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.34x equity, net debt at 0.20x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 55.0bn, roughly 12.1% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.0bn of cash.

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 993.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 3787.8 days, DSO rose 601.4 days, and DPO rose 3395.4 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 1040.4 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +601.4 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.20x and interest coverage only at -0.59x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 27.4% of total debt, cash equals 1.9% of debt, and total debt stands at 61.9bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is -0.59x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 1.9%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing a few weaker signals, but the current magnitude is not yet clear enough to conclude that this is a broader weakening phase. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 34.6 pp.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 3.58x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 344.9% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at -21.75% after a 34.6pp decline versus the same period last year.
