What Is Changing

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 35.4% to 37.8% — mainly driven by net margin, despite asset turnover and leverage moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin expanded to 10.54%, rising 3.4pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 36.4pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 30.5pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.0pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 1.5pp remained a drag).
The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Is capital being used efficiently?
Return on capital rose, but cash cycle lengthened by 38.4 days — working capital needs watching.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 43.77%, rising 10.6pp. That translates to 43.77 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 3.4pp, with capital turnover fell 0.47x; with invested capital holding roughly steady.
Capital efficiency improved through NOPAT margin — this is a quality-led improvement when operating profit leads.

Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 38.4 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 44.7 days, DSO rose 2.0 days, and DPO rose 8.3 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.
Watchpoints
CCC stands at 102.3 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.
DSO increased by +2.0 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

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 3.4 pp. The next item to monitor is cash generation still needs confirmation.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 10.54% after expanding 3.4pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: Cash generation still needs confirmation.
