What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, QNS is holding revenue at an acceptable level, but margins are eroding visibly — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. What is still missing is better cost control to prevent margin pressure from spreading to the overall profit result.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE fell from 23.7% to 18.5% — net margin weakened the most, though asset turnover still provided support.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin fell to 17.32%, losing 5.1pp. The main pressure comes from SG&A / Revenue rose 4.6pp and Gross margin fell 0.7pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.4pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.1pp remained a drag).
The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.

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 13.48%, losing 3.5pp. That translates to 13.48 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from NOPAT margin narrowed 5.0pp, outweighing the movement in capital turnover; while invested capital rose by 922bn.
Pressure came from the margin side — core operations are weakening, not just a temporary asset-management issue.

Balance Sheet
ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.35x equity, net debt at 0.28x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 602.0bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower inventories.
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 6.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 8.0 days, DSO fell 0.2 days, and DPO fell 2.0 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.
Watchpoints
CCC stands at 108.3 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

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 0.28x and interest coverage at 17.44x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 12.8% of debt, and total debt stands at 3,441.9bn.
Watchpoints
Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.
Cash / debt stands at 12.8%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

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 1.36x. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 5.1 pp.
Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.36x.
Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 17.32% after a 5.1pp decline versus the same period last year.
