What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, RAL is going through a period of clear decline across multiple metrics at once — margins have been compressing consistently over multiple periods. What still needs to be determined is whether the business can find a stabilization point in the near term, or whether current pressure has not yet run its course.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 15.1% = 7.1% × 0.83 × 2.58
2026Q1 10.9% = 5.7% × 0.80 × 2.39

ROE fell from 15.1% to 10.9% — all three components weakened, with leverage being the main drag.

Net margin: 5.7% -1.4pp Asset turnover: 0.80x -0.03x Leverage: 2.39x -0.18x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin narrowed to 5.69%, falling 1.4pp. The main pressure comes from SG&A / Revenue rose 1.0pp and Gross margin fell 0.1pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.1pp).

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 7.72%, losing 1.7pp. That translates to 7.72 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from NOPAT margin narrowed 1.4pp, outweighing the movement in capital turnover; with invested capital easing slightly by 458bn.

Pressure came from the margin side — core operations are weakening, not just a temporary asset-management issue.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 7.72% −1.7pp
NOPAT Margin 5.68% −1.4pp
Capital Turnover 1.36x +0.04x
Average Invested Capital 4,873.6bn −458.0bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 1.39x equity, net debt at 0.27x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 2,231.9bn, roughly 27.4% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 1,139.4bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +554.1bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +36.6bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +548.7bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 6.1 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 30.0 days, DSO fell 55.0 days, and DPO fell 18.9 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 273.5 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +30.0 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 68.9% of debt, and total debt stands at 3,090.4bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Net Debt / Equity 0.27x −0.28x
Interest Coverage 3.64x −0.90x

CFO TTM 1,636.9bn +1,089.0bn
Cash Capex 612.0bn +512.4bn
FCF TTM +1,024.9bn +576.6bn

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 4.34x. The main risk still sits in working capital is tied up too long in the operating cycle, with CCC extended to 273 days.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 4.34x.

Key risk: working capital remains tied up for too long, with cash cycle at 273.5 days.
