What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, NCS is growing strongly on the back of scale expansion, while margins have only improved slightly — profit is at an all-time high. What is still missing is the ability to translate this revenue momentum into more visible margin improvement.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE fell from 33.2% to 30.4% — leverage weakened the most, though net margin and asset turnover still provided support.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin stands at 7.59%, broadly flat versus the same period. Supportive factors and pressure points are offsetting one another.
Margin is nearly flat but the underlying components are moving — this is a transitional phase, more time is needed to see the real trend.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 19.0 days.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 21.53%, rising 3.8pp. That translates to 21.53 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 0.2pp and capital turnover rose 0.45x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — capital-return quality improved from both sides.
Capital efficiency improved through turnover — a positive sign for asset efficiency, but this momentum needs to hold as capital expands.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

Balance Sheet
ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.96x equity, net debt at 0.29x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 19.6bn of cash, mainly thanks to higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables and higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 2.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 0.9 days, DSO fell 3.7 days, and DPO fell 1.9 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.29x and interest coverage at 11.74x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 92.5% of total debt, cash equals 23.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 99.3bn.
Watchpoints
Short-term debt accounts for 92.5% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.
Cash / debt stands at 23.3%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +72.3bn. Financing cash flow was negative +69.8bn.

Investment Takeaway
The business is entering a broader improvement phase — not just stronger earnings but better operating quality as well. Margin, ROIC, and cash flow all improving shows the business is growing in a cleaner and more efficient way than before. Notably, the improvement trend has been confirmed across multiple cycles, from margin to capital efficiency and cash generation.
Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.58x.
