What Is Changing

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 10.6% = 41.9% × 0.23 × 1.10
2026Q1 0.2% = 1.5% × 0.12 × 1.16

ROE fell from 10.6% to 0.2% — net margin weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: 1.5% -40.3pp Asset turnover: 0.12x -0.11x Leverage: 1.16x +0.06x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin fell to 1.52%, losing 40.3pp. The main pressure comes from SG&A / Revenue rose 16.7pp and Gross margin fell 15.3pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 9.2pp).

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 should be read in industry context — ROIC may fluctuate with business specifics.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.

Industry characteristics make ROIC cyclical — this is a reference signal and should be read with the business context.

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.16x equity, net debt at 0.07x equity.

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

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 66.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 65.7 days, DSO rose 37.3 days, and DPO rose 36.8 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 226.9 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +37.3 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 0.07x and interest coverage only at 0.20x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 7.7% of debt, and total debt stands at 47.4bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.20x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Net Debt / Equity 0.07x −0.03x
Interest Coverage 0.20x −7.67x
Cash / Debt 7.7% −4.1pp

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 256.2bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -265.6bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +9.4bn. Financing cash flow was positive +3.4bn.

CFO / net income was 37.62x.

Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.

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. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 40.3 pp.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 1.52% after a 40.3pp decline versus the same period last year.
