Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 10.8% = 6.0% × 1.43 × 1.26
2026Q1 12.8% = 7.1% × 1.23 × 1.46

ROE rose from 10.8% to 12.8% — mainly driven by leverage, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 7.1% +1.1pp Asset turnover: 1.23x -0.20x Leverage: 1.46x +0.21x

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 7.11%, rising 1.1pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 2.2pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 1.8pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.9pp).

The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

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 8.70%, losing 4.2pp. That translates to 8.70 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin narrowed 0.4pp and capital turnover fell 0.63x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — pressure came from both operational efficiency and asset efficiency.

Pressure came from turnover — added capital has not been absorbed quickly enough, a typical investment-cycle dynamic.

ROIC 8.70% −4.2pp
NOPAT Margin 5.46% −0.4pp
Capital Turnover 1.59x −0.63x
Average Invested Capital 92.9bn +30.1bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.55x equity, net debt at 0.31x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 20.5bn, roughly 15.6% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.0bn of cash.

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 46.8bn due to capex of 48.7bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.31x and interest coverage at 5.49x.

At present, cash equals 27.7% of debt and total debt stands at 37.0bn.

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 12.2bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -51.6bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +39.4bn. Financing cash flow was positive +35.0bn.

CFO / net income was 0.19x.

After spending +48.7bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −46.8bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 2.0bn −12.7bn
Cash Capex 48.7bn +45.7bn
FCF TTM −46.8bn −58.4bn

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. The residual risk still sits in self-funded cash generation remains weak.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 7.11% after expanding 1.1pp versus the same period last year.

Key risk: self-funded cash generation remains weak, with trailing-12M FCF still at 46.8bn.
