What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SSC posted a very sharp profit drop versus the same period, showing that pressure has clearly fed through to the bottom line — margins have been compressing consistently over multiple periods. The key watch now is how long the business needs to stabilize its profit base.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE fell from 9.8% to 3.0% — all three components weakened, with asset turnover being the main drag.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin fell to 3.97%, losing 6.3pp. The main pressure comes from SG&A / Revenue rose 5.3pp and Gross margin fell 0.2pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.2pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 1.7pp remained a drag).
The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Watchpoints
Even though contribution decreased by 1.4pp, non-core sources still accounts for 45.9% 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 3.37%, losing 4.6pp. That translates to 3.37 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin narrowed 5.0pp and capital turnover fell 0.13x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — 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 is currently 3.37% — 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. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.39x equity, net debt at 0.05x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 143.8bn, roughly 28.2% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 37.3bn of cash, mainly because of higher inventories. Part of that drag was offset by lower receivables and higher payables.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 113.3 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 116.2 days, DSO fell 3.5 days, and DPO fell 0.6 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.
Watchpoints
CCC stands at 382.4 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.
DIO increased by +116.2 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.05x and interest coverage at 6.51x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 30.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 26.8bn.
Watchpoints
Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 32.0bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 35.0bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +67.0bn. Financing cash flow was negative +49.7bn.
CFO / net income was 6.44x.
After spending +1.0bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +72.5bn.

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 leverage pressure is easing, with net debt/equity down to 0.05x. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 21.4%. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 6.3 pp.
Improvement: leverage pressure is easing, with net debt / equity down 0.22x to 0.05x while interest coverage holds at 6.51x.
Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 6.44x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 21.4% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 3.97% after a 6.3pp decline versus the same period last year.
