What Is Changing

On a TTM 2024Q3 basis, L61 is under pressure on both revenue and margins simultaneously — margins have been compressing consistently over multiple periods. More notably, profit relies heavily on non-core sources while operating cash flow is negative — these two factors together suggest earnings quality needs cautious evaluation.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2023Q3 -112.4% = -32.9% × 0.35 × 9.89
2024Q3 -732.6% = -69.7% × 0.11 × 96.33

ROE fell from -112.4% to -732.6% — net margin weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: -69.7% -36.9pp Asset turnover: 0.11x -0.24x Leverage: 96.33x +86.43x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin fell to -69.73%, losing 36.9pp. The main pressure is SG&A / Revenue rose 6.0pp, outweighing the improvement in Gross margin rose 23.0pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 46.1pp and Other profit / Revenue fell 7.8pp).

The pressure comes from non-core items while core operations hold their rhythm — margin has a basis to recover once this factor passes.

Profitability trend

Net Margin -69.73% −36.9pp
Gross Margin 14.05% +23.0pp
SG&A / Revenue 12.02% +6.0pp
Non-core / Revenue -71.76% −53.8pp

TTM YoY · 2023Q3 -> 2024Q3

Watchpoints

Financial result share remains high

Even though contribution decreased by 53.8pp, financial result still accounts for 102.9% of PBT — earnings durability should be monitored in coming periods.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Return on capital rose, but cash cycle lengthened by 2202.0 days — working capital needs watching.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to -14.88%, rising 4.8pp. That translates to -14.88 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. NOPAT margin narrowed 29.1pp and capital turnover fell 0.40x both supported ROIC, while invested capital contracted by 102bn.

Both margin and turnover contributed — the improvement has a dual foundation, but with ROIC still at a low level, several more periods in the same direction are needed to confirm a substantive shift.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently -14.88% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2023Q3 -> 2024Q3

ROIC -14.88% +4.8pp
NOPAT Margin -59.21% −29.1pp
Capital Turnover 0.25x −0.40x
Average Invested Capital 303.0bn −101.9bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at -6.34x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 15.00x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 441.0bn, roughly 80.5% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 83.4bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables. Pressure from higher inventories and lower payables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2023Q3 -> 2024Q3

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +106.1bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −3.3bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −19.3bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 2202.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 2221.1 days, DSO rose 529.8 days, and DPO rose 548.9 days.

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

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 2860.2 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +529.8 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2023Q3 -> 2024Q3

Receivables 730.7 days +529.8 days
Inventory 2834.8 days +2221.1 days
Payables 705.3 days +548.9 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 2860.2 days +2202.0 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 2.3bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at -15.00x and interest coverage only at -0.96x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 0.1% of debt, and total debt stands at 290.4bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is -0.96x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity -15.00x −23.89x
Interest Coverage -0.96x +0.97x
Cash / Debt 0.1% −0.3pp

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 2.3bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 57.8bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +60.1bn. Financing cash flow was negative +59.7bn.

CFO / net income was -0.14x.

After spending +0.1bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +7.5bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2023Q3 -> 2024Q3

CFO TTM 7.5bn −8.2bn
Cash Capex 0.1bn +0.1bn
FCF TTM +7.5bn −8.3bn

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. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 36.9 pp.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 87.8% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -0.14x.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at -69.73% after a 36.9pp decline versus the same period last year.
