Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 16.4% = 14.0% × 0.96 × 1.22
2026Q1 20.2% = 18.9% × 0.85 × 1.25

ROE rose from 16.4% to 20.2% — mainly driven by net margin, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.

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

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 18.91%, rising 4.9pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 7.3pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 3.2pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 1.0pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 0.5pp).

The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 22.90%, rising 4.3pp. That translates to 22.90 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 4.5pp, with capital turnover fell 0.09x; with invested capital easing slightly by 1,583bn.

Capital efficiency improved through NOPAT margin — this is a quality-led improvement when operating profit leads.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 22.90% +4.3pp
NOPAT Margin 18.59% +4.5pp
Capital Turnover 1.23x −0.09x
Average Invested Capital 21,533.5bn −1,583.4bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.42x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.14x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 377.4bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower inventories and higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −629.7bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +124.1bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +883.0bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle improved by 0.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 9.6 days, DSO rose 3.4 days, and DPO rose 13.8 days.

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

Watchpoints

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +3.4 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +9.6 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 3,898.9bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.14x and interest coverage at 120.41x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 45.6% of total debt, cash equals 1201.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 307.9bn.

Investment Takeaway

The business is entering a broader improvement phase — not just stronger earnings but better operating quality as well. Margin, ROIC, and cash flow all improving shows the business is growing in a cleaner and more efficient way than before. Notably, the improvement trend has been confirmed across multiple cycles, from margin to capital efficiency and cash generation. Even so, the earnings mix remains the area to verify in upcoming periods, when non-core contribution is 17.5%.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 18.91% after expanding 4.9pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 1.03x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 17.5% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
