Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE fell from 12.6% to 8.4% — net margin weakened the most, though 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 fell to 3.32%, losing 1.9pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 6.4pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 3.9pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.4pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.3pp remained a drag).
The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.

Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency is declining — check whether the drag is from margins or turnover.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC fell to 5.84%, losing 4.5pp. That translates to 5.84 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from NOPAT margin narrowed 2.2pp, outweighing the movement in capital turnover; while invested capital rose by 172bn.
Pressure came from the margin side — core operations are weakening, not just a temporary asset-management issue.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

Balance Sheet
ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.71x equity, net debt at 0.36x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 1,705.3bn, roughly 67.8% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.0bn of cash.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 15.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 17.5 days, DSO fell 1.7 days, and DPO fell 0.0 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.
Watchpoints
CCC stands at 144.7 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.
DIO increased by +17.5 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 416.8bn due to capex of 128.5bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.36x and interest coverage at 4.40x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 7.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 591.6bn.
Watchpoints
Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.
Cash / debt stands at 7.3%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

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 brighter spot is earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at -2.25x. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 1.9 pp.
Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at -2.25x.
Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 3.32% after a 1.9pp decline versus the same period last year.
