What Is Changing

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 1.1% = 0.2% × 3.05 × 1.97
2026Q1 6.2% = 0.9% × 3.11 × 2.29

ROE rose from 1.1% to 6.2% — all three components improved, with leverage contributing the most.

Net margin: 0.9% +0.7pp Asset turnover: 3.11x +0.05x Leverage: 2.29x +0.31x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin edged up to 0.87%, rising 0.7pp. Core operating signals are improving as SG&A / Revenue fell 0.6pp are enough to offset pressure from Gross margin fell 1.1pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.9pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.4pp remained a drag).

Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.

Profitability trend

Net Margin 0.87% +0.7pp
Gross Margin 9.78% −1.1pp
SG&A / Revenue 7.81% −0.6pp

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Is capital being used efficiently?

Return on capital rose, but cash cycle lengthened by 1.4 days — working capital needs watching.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 3.97%, rising 2.3pp. That translates to 3.97 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 0.5pp, with capital turnover fell 0.41x; with invested capital holding roughly steady.

NOPAT margin is the main cushion preventing ROIC from slipping as invested capital keeps expanding — the quality of this improvement depends on whether margin holds once the new capital is fully deployed.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently 3.97% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 3.97% +2.3pp
NOPAT Margin 0.86% +0.5pp
Capital Turnover 4.62x −0.41x
Average Invested Capital 184.2bn +41.1bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Capital structure is balanced — liabilities at 1.32x equity, net debt at 0.84x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 25.2bn of cash, mainly because of higher inventories and lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower receivables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +0.5bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −3.4bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −22.2bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 1.4 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 0.2 days, DSO fell 0.3 days, and DPO fell 1.5 days.

Working capital cycle is flat — components are offsetting each other.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle is lengthening

CCC is up by +1.4 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +0.2 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 15.2 days −0.3 days
Inventory 3.4 days +0.2 days
Payables 12.0 days −1.5 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 6.6 days +1.4 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 78.3bn due to capex of 93.0bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.84x and interest coverage only at 1.47x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 28.0% of total debt, cash equals 9.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 114.1bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 1.47x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 9.5%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.84x +0.62x
Interest Coverage 1.47x −4.39x
Cash / Debt 9.5% −26.8pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 28.0% −30.3pp
CFO / NI 1.99x −19.17x

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 17.3bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -68.7bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +51.4bn. Financing cash flow was positive +55.9bn.

CFO / net income was 1.99x.

After spending +93.0bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −78.3bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 14.7bn −13.2bn
Cash Capex 93.0bn +66.1bn
FCF TTM −78.3bn −79.3bn

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 1.99x. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 4.0%.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.99x.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
