Cash Flow
▼Is profit converting into cash?

Post-investment cash flow was positive +30.2bn. Financing cash flow was negative +36.1bn.
CFO / net income was 0,78 lần.
After spending +2.7bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +35.2bn.
Earnings Quality

- Non-core / PBT
- 15.5% moderate
- Net financial / PBT
- 13.2%
- Other profit / PBT

Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency should be read in industry context — ROIC may fluctuate with business specifics.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
●Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.
Industry characteristics make ROIC cyclical — this is a reference signal and should be read with the business context.
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 fell 5.8 days, DSO rose 3.0 days, and DPO rose 4.3 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.
DSO increased by +3.0 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.
DuPont

- −0.19x
- Interest Coverage
- 72.08x +5.20x
- Cash / Debt
- None
- Short-term Debt / Total Debt
- None
