What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SCJ is still improving profit despite revenue not recovering, suggesting cost efficiency or the earnings mix is aiding current results — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. What is still missing is enough revenue momentum to make this profit level more durable.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2026Q1 2.4% = 1.5% × 0.66 × 2.34

Net margin: 1.5% +0.8pp Asset turnover: 0.66x -0.07x Leverage: 2.34x -0.14x

Is the profit sustainable?

Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin edged up to 1.55%, rising 0.8pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 1.2pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.5pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.1pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.1pp remained a drag).

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 currently stands at 1.25%. Track NOPAT margin and capital turnover to assess capital efficiency.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently 1.25% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

ROIC 1.25%
NOPAT Margin 1.68%
Capital Turnover 0.74x −0.10x
Average Invested Capital 1,450.4bn −30.5bn

Balance Sheet

Leverage is elevated, requiring monitoring — liabilities at 1.36x equity, net debt at 1.08x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 141.7bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −32.0bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −55.4bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −54.2bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 5.9 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 18.5 days, DSO rose 1.0 days, and DPO rose 13.5 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle is lengthening

CCC is up by +5.9 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +1.0 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 27.0bn due to capex of 25.5bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.08x and interest coverage only at 0.49x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 63.4% of total debt, cash equals 0.0% of debt, and total debt stands at 765.7bn.

Watchpoints

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 1.08x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.49x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 1.08x +0.01x
Interest Coverage 0.49x +0.14x
Cash / Debt 0.0% −0.1pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 63.4% −0.9pp
CFO / NI -0.09x −11.38x

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Flow

High leverage combined with cash flow below reveals the actual liquidity pressure. Operating cash flow reached -95.6bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -11.4bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +107.0bn. Financing cash flow was positive +107.7bn.

CFO / net income was -0.09x.

After spending +25.5bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −27.0bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 1.6bn −103.1bn
Cash Capex 25.5bn +15.1bn
FCF TTM −27.0bn −118.2bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing a few weaker signals, but the current magnitude is not yet clear enough to conclude that this is a broader weakening phase. The brighter spot is earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at -0.09x. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 1.2%.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at -0.09x.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
