What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, LIX posted slightly higher profit versus the same period, but the increase is thin and not yet paired with clear improvement in revenue or margins — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. The point still to be proven is whether this profit level holds without further revenue momentum.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 21.1% = 7.0% × 2.17 × 1.38
2026Q1 19.4% = 6.2% × 2.25 × 1.40

ROE fell from 21.1% to 19.4% — net margin weakened the most, though asset turnover and leverage still provided support.

Net margin: 6.2% -0.9pp Asset turnover: 2.25x +0.08x Leverage: 1.40x +0.02x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin narrowed to 6.16%, falling 0.9pp. The main pressure comes from SG&A / Revenue rose 1.7pp and Gross margin fell 0.1pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.6pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 0.0pp).

The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.

Gross Margin 21.64% −0.1pp
SG&A / Revenue 14.83% +1.7pp

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 24.04%, losing 3.1pp. That translates to 24.04 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from NOPAT margin narrowed 0.9pp, outweighing the movement in capital turnover; while invested capital rose by 93bn.

Pressure came from the margin side — core operations are weakening, not just a temporary asset-management issue.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 24.04% −3.1pp
NOPAT Margin 6.05% −0.9pp
Capital Turnover 3.97x +0.10x
Average Invested Capital 817.2bn +92.8bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.55x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.17x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 343.5bn, roughly 21.3% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 30.1bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and higher payables. Pressure from higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +0.6bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −96.0bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +125.5bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 1.4 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 0.6 days, DSO fell 1.4 days, and DPO rose 0.6 days.

Working capital cycle is flat — components are offsetting each other.

Watchpoints

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +0.6 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Cash Conversion Cycle 33.3 days −1.4 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 206.1bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.17x and interest coverage at 48.54x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 424.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 55.0bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

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

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 206.1bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -109.8bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +96.3bn. Financing cash flow was negative +110.2bn.

CFO / net income was 1.17x.

After spending +60.6bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +173.7bn.

Cash Capex 60.6bn +6.4bn
FCF TTM +173.7bn +23.1bn

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 earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 1.17x. Warning and risk signals are not yet decisive enough to shift the picture.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.17x.
