What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SRF is maintaining revenue growth, but margins have not improved proportionally — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. 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
ROE rose from 2.3% to 2.9% — mainly driven by leverage.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin stands at 1.05%, broadly flat versus the same period. Supportive factors and pressure points are offsetting one another.
Margin is nearly flat but the underlying components are moving — this is a transitional phase, more time is needed to see the real trend.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Watchpoints
Even though contribution decreased by 11.6pp, financial result still accounts for 122.3% 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 -0.34%, losing 3.3pp. That translates to -0.34 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from NOPAT margin narrowed 2.5pp, outweighing the movement in capital turnover; while invested capital rose by 91bn.
Pressure came from the margin side — core operations are weakening, not just a temporary asset-management issue.
Watchpoints
ROIC is currently -0.34% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Balance Sheet
ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Leverage is elevated, requiring monitoring — liabilities at 3.03x equity, net debt at 1.15x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 401.7bn, roughly 22.5% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 113.0bn of cash, mainly thanks to higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables and higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 32.1 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 21.9 days, DSO fell 83.5 days, and DPO fell 29.5 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.
Watchpoints
CCC stands at 181.5 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.
DIO increased by +21.9 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 121.5bn due to capex of 95.5bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.15x and interest coverage only at -0.09x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 95.6% of total debt, cash equals 17.4% of debt, and total debt stands at 620.3bn.
Watchpoints
Net debt / equity stands at 1.15x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Interest coverage is -0.09x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Leverage and liquidity trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Cash Flow
High leverage combined with cash flow below reveals the actual liquidity pressure. Operating cash flow reached -174.4bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 19.2bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +155.2bn. Financing cash flow was positive +160.3bn.
CFO / net income was -2.77x.
After spending +95.5bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −121.5bn.
Cash Conversion

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 brighter spot is cash generation. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is -164.1%. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at -0.3%.
Improvement: cash generation is recovering, with trailing-12M FCF improving by 118.0bn versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for -164.1% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -2.77x.
Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
