Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE edged down from -57.6% to -134.0% — the components are broadly offsetting.
Is the profit sustainable?
Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin expanded to -927.27%, rising 31.4pp. The main driver is SG&A / Revenue fell 30.7pp and Gross margin rose 0.9pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 4.8pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 5.0pp remained a drag).
The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Balance Sheet
ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Leverage is very high, with clear pressure on the capital structure — liabilities at 6.56x equity, net debt at 6.64x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 0.6bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and lower payables.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 62.5 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 2.0 days, DSO fell 116.8 days, and DPO fell 56.4 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.
Watchpoints
CCC stands at 3267.7 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Is financial risk significant?
Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 6.64x and interest coverage only at -5.51x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 87.6% of total debt, cash equals 0.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 96.0bn.
Watchpoints
Net debt / equity stands at 6.64x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Interest coverage is -5.51x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +2.0bn. Financing cash flow was negative +2.0bn.

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 31.4 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 18.0%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at -5.51x.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at -927.27% after expanding 31.4pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 18.0% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -0.03x.
Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at -5.51x.
