What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SBL posted a very sharp profit drop versus the same period, showing that pressure has clearly fed through to the bottom line. More notably, profit relies heavily on non-core sources while operating cash flow is negative — these two factors together suggest earnings quality needs cautious evaluation.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE fell from 0.8% to -0.2% — all three components weakened, with asset turnover being the main drag.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin narrowed to -0.30%, falling 1.4pp. The main pressure is SG&A / Revenue rose 4.2pp, outweighing the improvement in Gross margin rose 1.7pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 1.0pp).
The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.

Watchpoints
Financial result accounts for 369.2% of PBT and lifted net margin by 1.0pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.
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.

Balance Sheet
ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.25x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.01x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 1.5bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables. Pressure from higher inventories and lower payables only partly offset that benefit.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 0.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 7.4 days, DSO fell 3.5 days, and DPO rose 3.7 days.
Working capital cycle is flat — components are offsetting each other.
Watchpoints
CCC is up by +0.2 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.
DIO increased by +7.4 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 28.3bn.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at -0.01x and interest coverage only at 0.25x.
Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.
Some leverage signals are missing, so the current read should be treated as contextual.
Watchpoints
Interest coverage is 0.25x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 28.3bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 1.4bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +29.7bn. Financing cash flow was negative +31.7bn.
CFO / net income was -50.94x.
After spending +0.9bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +16.0bn.

Investment Takeaway
The business is under real pressure, but the current picture has not turned broadly adverse. A notable area has clearly weakened, making the near-term outlook hard to call bright; even so, other parts of the business are still holding up, with leverage and liquidity remaining the main constraint, with interest coverage at 0.25x. The next watchpoint is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 369.2%.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 369.2% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -50.94x.
Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 0.25x.
