What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, KMT is maintaining revenue, but margins are compressing slightly — profit is at an all-time high. What remains unclear is whether this is a short-term fluctuation or costs are starting to outpace revenue.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE fell from 6.5% to 3.3% — net margin weakened the most, though asset turnover and leverage still provided support.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin stands at 0.08%, 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?
Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC narrowed to 0.61%, falling 0.6pp. That translates to 0.61 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from capital turnover rose 1.28x — capital is being absorbed faster than revenue is being generated; with invested capital holding roughly steady.
Pressure came from the margin side — core operations are weakening, not just a temporary asset-management issue.
Watchpoints
ROIC is currently 0.61% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Balance Sheet
Leverage is very high, with clear pressure on the capital structure — liabilities at 4.69x equity, net debt at 4.16x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 112.6bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables. Pressure from higher inventories and lower payables only partly offset that benefit.
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 9.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 1.1 days, DSO fell 11.4 days, and DPO fell 0.6 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.
Watchpoints
DIO increased by +1.1 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 4.16x and interest coverage only at 0.22x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 3.1% of debt, and total debt stands at 585.7bn.
Watchpoints
Net debt / equity stands at 4.16x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Interest coverage is 0.22x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Cash Flow
Leverage needs watching — cash flow below shows the ability to service debt from operations. Operating cash flow reached 0.6bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -4.4bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +3.8bn. Financing cash flow was positive +6.6bn.
CFO / net income was 25.33x.
Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.
Cash capex or FCF data is incomplete, so the cash-conversion view is only partial.

Investment Takeaway
The business is showing a few weaker signals, but the current magnitude is not yet clear enough to conclude that this is a broader weakening phase. The next item to monitor is effective tax rate looks unusual, with effective tax rate at 47.2%. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 0.6%.
Watchpoint: the effective tax rate looks unusual, so current net profit may not fully reflect underlying earnings quality.
Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
