What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SDC is showing some signs of improvement versus the same period, but the current picture is not yet broad enough to confirm a stronger trend — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. The point still to be proven is whether this improvement broadens out in coming periods.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 3.7% to 4.3% — all three components improved, with leverage contributing the most.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin edged up to 3.15%, rising 0.4pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 2.6pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 1.8pp (with lingering pressure from Other profit / Revenue fell 0.3pp and Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.1pp).
The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Is capital being used efficiently?
Return on capital rose, but cash cycle lengthened by 8.8 days — working capital needs watching.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC edged up to 4.48%, rising 1.2pp. That translates to 4.48 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 0.6pp and capital turnover rose 0.12x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — capital-return quality improved from both sides.
NOPAT margin led the improvement, but the ROIC level has not yet cleared typical cost of capital — margin needs to hold in coming periods rather than being a one-period rebound.
Watchpoints
ROIC is currently 4.48% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Balance Sheet
ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.83x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.07x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 16.3bn, roughly 17.0% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 2.6bn of cash, mainly thanks to higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables and higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 8.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 4.6 days, DSO fell 8.9 days, and DPO fell 13.1 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to shorter payment timing — may reflect pressure from suppliers.
Watchpoints
CCC stands at 420.7 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.
DIO increased by +4.6 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 6.9bn.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.07x and interest coverage at 7.12x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 33.0% of total debt, cash equals 251.0% of debt, and total debt stands at 2.6bn.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 6.9bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -3.4bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +3.5bn. Financing cash flow was negative +0.9bn.
CFO / net income was 2.42x.

Cash capex or FCF data is incomplete, so the cash-conversion view is only partial.

Investment Takeaway
The business is entering a broader improvement phase — not just stronger earnings but better operating quality as well. Margin, ROIC, and cash flow all improving shows the business is growing in a cleaner and more efficient way than before. Notably, the improvement trend has been confirmed across multiple cycles, from margin to capital efficiency and cash generation. Even so, cash generation still needs confirmation remains the area to verify in upcoming periods. The residual risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 4.5%.
Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 2.42x.
Watchpoint: Cash generation still needs confirmation.
Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
