Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 50.8% to 59.7% — 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 33.96%, rising 5.2pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 1.8pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 0.3pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 3.4pp).
Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.

Balance Sheet
ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.37x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.15x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 75.5bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower inventories.
Working Capital Drivers

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 414.0bn.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.15x and interest coverage at 2733.74x.
Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.
Some leverage signals are missing, so the current read should be treated as contextual.

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 5.2 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 15.4%.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 33.96% after expanding 5.2pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 1.03x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 15.4% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
