What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, MPC is improving on both revenue and margins, suggesting current growth is backed by both scale and operating efficiency — this marks a reversal from the difficult phase before. However, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this needs monitoring in coming periods.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 -0.2% = -0.1% × 1.30 × 1.81
2026Q1 14.1% = 4.2% × 1.72 × 1.97

ROE rose from -0.2% to 14.1% — all three components improved, with asset turnover contributing the most.

Net margin: 4.2% +4.3pp Asset turnover: 1.72x +0.41x Leverage: 1.97x +0.16x

Is the profit sustainable?

Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 4.18%, rising 4.3pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 4.2pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.1pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.1pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.1pp remained a drag).

The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 119.9 days.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 9.00%, rising 9.2pp. That translates to 9.00 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 4.6pp and capital turnover rose 0.50x, while invested capital rose by 671bn — capital-return quality improved from both sides.

NOPAT margin is driving the improvement — ROIC has cleared the deposit-rate threshold but not yet the typical cost of equity level, and this momentum needs to hold as new invested capital is fully deployed.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 9.00% +9.2pp
NOPAT Margin 4.53% +4.6pp
Capital Turnover 1.99x +0.50x
Average Invested Capital 8,900.5bn +671.4bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Capital structure is balanced — liabilities at 1.09x equity, net debt at 0.84x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 4,923.7bn, roughly 43.9% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 1,817.3bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories. Part of that drag was offset by higher payables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −1,095.1bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −2,062.6bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +1,340.4bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 42.9 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 33.1 days, DSO fell 4.8 days, and DPO rose 5.0 days.

All 3 drivers (collection, inventory, payables) are improving — working capital turnover is strengthening across the board.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 119.9 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 28.0 days −4.8 days
Inventory 107.8 days −33.1 days
Payables 15.8 days +5.0 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 119.9 days −42.9 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 1,658.4bn due to capex of 763.1bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage is balanced for now, with net debt / equity at 0.84x and interest coverage at 3.62x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 90.9% of total debt, cash equals 5.4% of debt, and total debt stands at 4,949.0bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 90.9% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 5.4%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.84x +0.31x
Interest Coverage 3.62x +3.27x
Cash / Debt 5.4% −3.6pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 90.9% −4.8pp
CFO / NI -1.24x −7.32x

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow reached -473.6bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -546.6bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +1,020.2bn. Financing cash flow was positive +930.8bn.

CFO / net income was -1.24x.

After spending +763.1bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −1,658.4bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Capex 763.1bn +399.8bn
FCF TTM −1,658.4bn −1,184.1bn

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 operating efficiency, with net margin improving 4.3 pp. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 3.62x.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 4.18% after expanding 4.3pp versus the same period last year.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity remain a pressure point, with net debt / equity at 0.84x and a thin cash buffer.
