What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, NET is retaining some revenue, but margins are collapsing sharply — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. Costs or the profit mix are deteriorating faster than revenue is declining — this is the factor to watch ahead of everything else.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE fell from 40.0% to 25.0% — all three components weakened, with leverage being the main drag.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin fell to 8.71%, losing 4.0pp. The main pressure comes from Gross margin fell 4.3pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 1.0pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.6pp).
The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.
Profitability trend

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 28.88%, losing 22.2pp. That translates to 28.88 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin narrowed 3.9pp and capital turnover fell 0.76x, while invested capital expanded strongly by 94bn — pressure came from both operational efficiency and asset efficiency.
Both margin and turnover weakened — this is a broad-based decline, and cyclical versus structural components need to be separated.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

Balance Sheet
ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.99x equity, net debt at 0.10x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 184.4bn, roughly 17.1% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 107.8bn 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
Working Capital Efficiency
Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 6.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 6.6 days, DSO rose 0.9 days, and DPO rose 0.3 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.
Watchpoints
DSO increased by +0.9 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

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 0.10x and interest coverage at 18.06x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 45.1% of debt, and total debt stands at 105.2bn.
Watchpoints
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 206.6bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -212.5bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +5.9bn. Financing cash flow was negative +62.4bn.
CFO / net income was 1.76x.
After spending +17.4bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +238.8bn.

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 1.76x. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 4.0 pp.
Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.76x.
Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 8.71% after a 4.0pp decline versus the same period last year.
