What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SJF posted a very sharp profit drop versus the same period, showing that pressure has clearly fed through to the bottom line. More notably, profit relies heavily on non-core sources while operating cash flow is negative — these two factors together suggest earnings quality needs cautious evaluation.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 0.2% = 1.6% × 0.10 × 1.43
2026Q1 -4.8% = -85.5% × 0.03 × 1.70

ROE fell from 0.2% to -4.8% — net margin weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: -85.5% -87.1pp Asset turnover: 0.03x -0.07x Leverage: 1.70x +0.27x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin fell to -85.48%, losing 87.1pp. The main pressure comes from SG&A / Revenue rose 12.4pp and Gross margin fell 0.7pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 69.6pp).

The pressure comes from non-core items while core operations hold their rhythm — margin has a basis to recover once this factor passes.

Watchpoints

Financial result share remains high

Even though contribution decreased by 69.6pp, financial result still accounts for 81.6% of PBT — earnings durability should be monitored in coming periods.

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 -3.11%, losing 3.3pp. That translates to -3.11 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin narrowed 74.9pp and capital turnover fell 0.07x, while invested capital contracted by 144bn — pressure came from both operational efficiency and asset efficiency.

Pressure came from the margin side — core operations are weakening, not just a temporary asset-management issue.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently -3.11% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

NOPAT Margin -73.15% −74.9pp
Capital Turnover 0.04x −0.07x
Average Invested Capital 661.0bn −144.0bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.75x equity, net debt at 0.35x equity.

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

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 983.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 477.4 days, DSO rose 678.7 days, and DPO rose 172.4 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower receivables collection — receivables quality needs monitoring.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 1352.0 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +678.7 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.35x and interest coverage only at -1.01x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 43.4% of total debt, cash equals 4.9% of debt, and total debt stands at 178.6bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is -1.01x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 4.9%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Net Debt / Equity 0.35x +0.05x
Interest Coverage -1.01x −1.35x
Cash / Debt 4.9% +1.6pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 43.4% −3.6pp
CFO / NI -0.48x −131.26x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 0.0bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -35.9bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +35.9bn. Financing cash flow was positive +0.1bn.

CFO / net income was -0.48x.

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

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. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 87.1 pp.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 81.6% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -0.48x.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at -85.48% after a 87.1pp decline versus the same period last year.
