Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 17.5% to 18.2% — mainly driven by net margin, despite asset turnover and leverage moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin expanded to 9.78%, rising 3.0pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 3.9pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.3pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.4pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.2pp 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. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.57x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.30x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 7.3bn 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
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 14.1 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 12.0 days, DSO rose 13.6 days, and DPO rose 11.6 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower receivables collection — receivables quality needs monitoring.
Watchpoints
CCC is up by +14.1 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.
DSO increased by +13.6 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 132.3bn.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.30x and interest coverage at 25.86x.
Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.
Some leverage signals are missing, so the current read should be treated as contextual.

Cash Flow

Post-investment cash flow was positive +48.0bn. Financing cash flow was negative +35.7bn.

After spending +96.7bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +10.2bn.

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 3.0 pp. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 9.78% after expanding 3.0pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
