What Is Changing
On a TTM 2025Q4 basis, SDG posted a very sharp profit drop versus the same period, showing that pressure has clearly fed through to the bottom line — margins have been compressing consistently over multiple periods. The key watch now is how long the business needs to stabilize its profit base.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE fell from -14.5% to -33.2% — net margin weakened the most, though asset turnover and leverage still provided support.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin fell to -8.80%, losing 4.0pp. The main pressure comes from Gross margin fell 3.7pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 0.3pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.2pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.1pp remained a drag).
The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.

Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency is declining — check whether the drag is from margins or turnover.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC fell to -18.50%, losing 10.2pp. That translates to -18.50 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from NOPAT margin narrowed 4.2pp, outweighing the movement in capital turnover; while invested capital contracted by 136bn.
Pressure came from the margin side — core operations are weakening, not just a temporary asset-management issue.
Watchpoints
ROIC is currently -18.50% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

Balance Sheet
ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Leverage is elevated, requiring monitoring — liabilities at 2.36x equity, net debt at 1.04x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 121.4bn, roughly 16.7% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.0bn of cash.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2024Q4 -> 2025Q4
Working Capital Efficiency
Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 27.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 0.0 days, DSO fell 19.6 days, and DPO rose 7.4 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.
Watchpoints
DIO increased by +0.0 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 14.5bn due to capex of 6.9bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.04x and interest coverage only at -5.20x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 4.9% of debt, and total debt stands at 236.9bn.
Watchpoints
Net debt / equity stands at 1.04x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Interest coverage is -5.20x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Leverage and liquidity trend
TTM YoY · 2024Q4 -> 2025Q4
Cash Flow
High leverage combined with cash flow below reveals the actual liquidity pressure. Operating cash flow reached -7.6bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 6.2bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +1.5bn. Financing cash flow was negative +7.3bn.
CFO / net income was 0.17x.
After spending +6.9bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −14.5bn.

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 next item to monitor is effective tax rate looks unusual, with effective tax rate at 0.2%. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 4.0 pp.
Watchpoint: the effective tax rate looks unusual, so current net profit may not fully reflect underlying earnings quality.
Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at -8.80% after a 4.0pp decline versus the same period last year.
