Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 10.8% to 12.8% — mainly driven by leverage, despite asset turnover 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 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.
Profitability trend

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.

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.

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.
