What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SPC has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. Profit growth is driven mainly by better operations rather than scale expansion — a foundation that tends to be more durable.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 -25.0% = -4.0% × 1.64 × 3.77
2026Q1 24.0% = 3.2% × 2.18 × 3.50

ROE rose from -25.0% to 24.0% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 3.2% +7.2pp Asset turnover: 2.18x +0.53x Leverage: 3.50x -0.27x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 3.15%, rising 7.2pp. Core operating signals are improving as SG&A / Revenue fell 7.9pp are enough to offset pressure from Gross margin fell 1.0pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.6pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.3pp remained a drag).

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

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 77.2 days.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 14.10%, rising 26.4pp. That translates to 14.10 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 6.7pp and capital turnover rose 1.62x, while invested capital contracted by 56bn — capital-return quality improved from both sides.

Capital efficiency improved through NOPAT margin — this is a quality-led improvement when operating profit leads.

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 29.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 20.3 days, DSO fell 34.1 days, and DPO fell 24.5 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.24x and interest coverage only at 0.65x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 93.0% of total debt, cash equals 53.0% of debt, and total debt stands at 71.2bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.65x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 93.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Interest Coverage 0.65x +1.35x

Investment Takeaway

The business is heading the right way, but the current picture is still at partial confirmation — not yet a fully clean case. The positive points have clearly improved, showing the operating base is better than before. The brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 7.2 pp. The next item to monitor is cash generation still needs confirmation. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 0.65x.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 3.15% after expanding 7.2pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: Cash generation still needs confirmation.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 0.65x.
