What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, KHS shows mild improvement in both revenue and margins, but the magnitude of change is narrow — margins have been expanding consistently over multiple periods. This signal only becomes convincing if the improvement widens in coming periods.

2026Q1 14.9% = 5.0% × 1.78 × 1.69

ROE is broadly flat at 14.9% — the components are offsetting one another.

Net margin: 5.0% +0.1pp Asset turnover: 1.78x +0.22x Leverage: 1.69x -0.28x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.

What is driving the margin?

Net margin stands at 4.96%, broadly flat versus the same period. Supportive factors and pressure points are offsetting one another.

Margin is nearly flat but the underlying components are moving — this is a transitional phase, more time is needed to see the real trend.

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.

NOPAT Margin
Capital Turnover 2.09x +0.25x
Average Invested Capital 347.2bn −34.9bn

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 0.67x equity, net debt at 0.40x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 188.6bn, roughly 46.3% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 35.9bn of cash, mainly because of higher inventories and lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower receivables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +4.0bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −39.2bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −0.7bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 8.3 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 2.0 days, DSO fell 1.2 days, and DPO fell 7.4 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to shorter payment timing — may reflect pressure from suppliers.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle is lengthening

CCC is up by +8.3 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +2.0 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Cash Conversion Cycle 78.0 days +8.3 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 0.40x and interest coverage at 3.68x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 82.5% of total debt, cash equals 13.1% of debt, and total debt stands at 110.5bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 82.5% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 13.1%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 22.9bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 0.4bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +23.2bn. Financing cash flow was negative +50.7bn.

CFO / net income was 0.46x.

After spending +0.8bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +16.7bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 17.5bn −62.2bn
Cash Capex 0.8bn +0.8bn
FCF TTM +16.7bn −63.0bn

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 leverage pressure is easing, with net debt/equity down to 0.40x. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 17.9%.

Improvement: leverage pressure is easing, with net debt / equity down 0.06x to 0.40x while interest coverage holds at 3.68x.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 17.9% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.46x.
