Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 9.4% to 20.0% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin expanded to 11.17%, rising 5.0pp. The main driver is SG&A / Revenue fell 3.8pp and Gross margin rose 2.6pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.4pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.6pp remained a drag).
The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 40.4 days.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 11.66%, rising 6.5pp. That translates to 11.66 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 5.4pp and capital turnover rose 0.15x, while invested capital expanded strongly by 163bn — capital-return quality improved from both sides.
Capital efficiency improved through NOPAT margin — this is a quality-led improvement when operating profit leads.

Is financial risk significant?

At present, short-term debt accounts for 69.2% of total debt, cash equals 10.1% of debt, and total debt stands at 296.0bn.
Watchpoints
Short-term debt accounts for 69.2% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Investment Takeaway
The business is heading the right way, but the current picture is still at partial confirmation — not yet a fully clean case. The positive points have clearly improved, showing the operating base is better than before. The brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 5.0 pp. Warning and risk signals are not yet decisive enough to shift the picture.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 11.17% after expanding 5.0pp versus the same period last year.
