What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, HT1 has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. Profit growth is driven mainly by better operations rather than scale expansion — a foundation that tends to be more durable.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 1.7% = 1.2% × 0.85 × 1.69
2026Q1 7.2% = 4.7% × 0.95 × 1.60

ROE rose from 1.7% to 7.2% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 4.7% +3.6pp Asset turnover: 0.95x +0.10x Leverage: 1.60x -0.10x

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 4.73%, rising 3.6pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 3.8pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 0.2pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.3pp).

The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to -13.1 days.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 6.44%, rising 4.9pp. That translates to 6.44 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 3.5pp and capital turnover rose 0.14x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — capital-return quality improved from both sides.

NOPAT margin expansion has lifted ROIC above the deposit-rate threshold but below typical cost of equity — more same-direction periods are needed to confirm a structural shift.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 6.44% +4.9pp
NOPAT Margin 4.82% +3.5pp
Capital Turnover 1.34x +0.14x
Average Invested Capital 5,712.3bn −133.2bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.49x equity, net debt at 0.11x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 83.1bn 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: −129.0bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −15.7bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +61.5bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 5.4 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 6.1 days, DSO fell 4.9 days, and DPO fell 5.6 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 8.8 days −4.9 days
Inventory 35.2 days −6.1 days
Payables 57.2 days −5.6 days
Cash Conversion Cycle -13.1 days −5.4 days

Is financial risk significant?

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

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.11x and interest coverage at 5.13x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 97.0% of total debt, cash equals 50.9% of debt, and total debt stands at 1,105.0bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

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

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 796.9bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -195.6bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +601.3bn. Financing cash flow was negative +931.8bn.

CFO / net income was 2.02x.

After spending +303.9bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +423.6bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 727.5bn +182.1bn
Cash Capex 303.9bn +176.3bn
FCF TTM +423.6bn +5.8bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is entering a broader improvement phase — not just stronger earnings but better operating quality as well. Margin, ROIC, and cash flow all improving shows the business is growing in a cleaner and more efficient way than before. Notably, the improvement trend has been confirmed across multiple cycles, from margin to capital efficiency and cash generation.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 4.73% after expanding 3.6pp versus the same period last year.
