What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, POS is growing strongly on the back of scale expansion, while margins have only improved slightly — profit is at an all-time high. However, profit is significantly supported by non-core sources and operating cash flow is not yet positive — the improvement signal needs more time to confirm.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 9.2% = 3.5% × 1.27 × 2.06
2026Q1 12.1% = 3.8% × 1.44 × 2.22

ROE rose from 9.2% to 12.1% — all three components improved, with asset turnover contributing the most.

Net margin: 3.8% +0.3pp Asset turnover: 1.44x +0.17x Leverage: 2.22x +0.15x

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 stands at 3.79%, 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.

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Margin support from financial result remains high (44.4% of PBT) — sustainability should be monitored.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for oil & gas services should be read alongside backlog and upstream investment cycles — ROIC fluctuates with project acceptance timing.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.

For oil & gas services, ROIC moves with backlog and acceptance timing — this is a reference signal, not a stable profitability baseline.

Balance Sheet

ROIC for oil & gas services swings with project backlog and upstream investment cycles — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 1.42x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.43x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 216.9bn 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: −367.2bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −156.4bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +306.7bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 7.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 9.2 days, DSO rose 8.9 days, and DPO rose 25.3 days.

Extended payment timing is the main driver — consider whether this trades off supplier relationships.

Working capital metrics in this industry should be read alongside business model specifics — DSO/DIO/DPO/CCC can be distorted by operational factors not reflected in raw numbers.

Watchpoints

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +8.9 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +9.2 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 60.9 days +8.9 days
Inventory 16.3 days +9.2 days
Payables 57.4 days +25.3 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 19.8 days −7.2 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 335.8bn due to capex of 145.2bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.43x and interest coverage at 16.80x.

Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.

Leverage for oil-services names should be read alongside project backlog, milestone timing, and working-capital swings.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +83.6bn. Financing cash flow was negative +0.2bn.

CFO / net income was -1.83x.

After spending +145.2bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −335.8bn.

For oil & gas services, FCF swings with project backlog, milestone timing, and upstream operator investment cycles.

Cash Capex 145.2bn +46.2bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing brightening signals, but the improvement is still early and not yet thick enough to read as a confirmed trend. The brighter spot is balance-sheet flexibility, with net cash/equity at about -0.43x. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated.

Improvement: the balance sheet remains flexible, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.43x of equity.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 41.9% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -1.83x.
