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.

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.
