What Is Changing
On a TTM 2025Q2 basis, SBT has not moved the needle on revenue, but profitability has edged up slightly — profit is at an all-time high. Notably, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this needs monitoring in coming periods.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
Is the profit sustainable?
Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin edged up to 2.95%, rising 0.8pp. Despite pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.7pp and Gross margin fell 0.5pp, the offset came from Other profit / Revenue rose 0.6pp and Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.5pp.
Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.

Is capital being used efficiently?
Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC narrowed to 2.64%, falling 0.3pp. That translates to 2.64 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from capital turnover fell 0.28x — capital is being absorbed faster than revenue is being generated; while invested capital expanded strongly by 4,527bn.
Pressure came from turnover — added capital has not been absorbed quickly enough, a typical investment-cycle dynamic.
Watchpoints
ROIC is currently 2.64% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

Balance Sheet
Leverage is elevated, requiring monitoring — liabilities at 2.06x equity, net debt at 1.26x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 3,953.2bn, roughly 11.6% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 2,093.2bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables. Part of that drag was offset by lower inventories and higher payables.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2023Q1 -> 2025Q2
Working Capital Efficiency
The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 5.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 4.2 days, DSO rose 4.9 days, and DPO fell 4.9 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to shorter payment timing — may reflect pressure from suppliers.
Watchpoints
CCC is up by +5.7 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.
DSO increased by +4.9 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?
Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 2,255.7bn due to capex of 783.9bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.26x and interest coverage only at 0.36x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 71.4% of total debt, cash equals 16.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 18,481.2bn.
Watchpoints
Net debt / equity stands at 1.26x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Interest coverage is 0.36x, 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 62.9bn in 2023, against investing cash flow of -2,955.4bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +2,892.5bn. Financing cash flow was positive +4,377.2bn.
CFO / net income was -2.01x.
After spending +783.9bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −2,255.7bn.

Investment Takeaway
The business is balanced but not yet fully stable — some components are moving the right way while others still need monitoring. This is a state to keep watching, with not enough signal to tilt the thesis either way. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 16.0%. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 2.6%.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 16.0% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -2.01x.
Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
