What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, KDC has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. However, a significant portion of profit is supported by non-core sources, making the picture not entirely clear.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 -0.3% = -0.2% × 0.69 × 1.75
2026Q1 9.6% = 7.5% × 0.69 × 1.86

ROE rose from -0.3% to 9.6% — all three components improved, with leverage contributing the most.

Net margin: 7.5% +7.7pp Asset turnover: 0.69x +0.00x Leverage: 1.86x +0.11x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins improved (+7.7pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 7.47%, rising 7.7pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 1.4pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 5.6pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 0.6pp).

Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.

Profitability trend

Net Margin 7.47% +7.7pp
Gross Margin 18.92% +1.4pp
SG&A / Revenue 18.88% −0.3pp
Non-core / Revenue 6.24% +6.2pp

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Financial result accounts for 70.8% of PBT and lifted net margin by 6.2pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Return on capital rose, but cash cycle lengthened by 2.9 days — working capital needs watching.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 6.58%, rising 6.7pp. That translates to 6.58 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 7.0pp, with capital turnover broadly stable; while invested capital rose by 746bn.

NOPAT margin is driving the improvement — ROIC has cleared the deposit-rate threshold but not yet the typical cost of equity level, and this momentum needs to hold as new invested capital is fully deployed.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 6.58% +6.7pp
NOPAT Margin 6.89% +7.0pp
Capital Turnover 0.96x +0.00x
Average Invested Capital 9,837.6bn +746.4bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.80x equity, net debt at 0.33x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 1,504.3bn, roughly 10.8% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 591.5bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and higher payables. Pressure from higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +13.3bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −85.7bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +664.0bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 2.9 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 5.4 days, DSO rose 1.2 days, and DPO rose 3.7 days.

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

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle is lengthening

CCC is up by +2.9 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +1.2 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 13.9 days +1.2 days
Inventory 58.9 days +5.4 days
Payables 30.8 days +3.7 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 42.0 days +2.9 days

Is financial risk significant?

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

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage is balanced for now, with net debt / equity at 0.33x and interest coverage at 3.30x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 89.5% of total debt, cash equals 25.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 3,291.7bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 89.5% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.33x −0.03x
Interest Coverage 3.30x +3.24x
Cash / Debt 25.2% −17.1pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 89.5% +14.5pp
CFO / NI 0.57x −1.92x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 86.2bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 599.8bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +686.0bn. Financing cash flow was negative +498.5bn.

CFO / net income was 0.57x.

After spending +63.8bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +302.4bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 366.2bn +487.6bn
Cash Capex 63.8bn −44.0bn
FCF TTM +302.4bn +531.6bn

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 7.7 pp. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 7.47% after expanding 7.7pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 63.1% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.57x.
