What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SSM posted a very sharp profit drop versus the same period, showing that pressure has clearly fed through to the bottom line — profit is at an all-time high. More notably, profit is significantly supported by non-core sources and operating cash flow is not yet positive — the earnings quality picture needs close monitoring.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 6.0% = 1.0% × 2.34 × 2.55
2026Q1 -16.4% = -4.0% × 1.57 × 2.61

ROE fell from 6.0% to -16.4% — asset turnover weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: -4.0% -5.0pp Asset turnover: 1.57x -0.77x Leverage: 2.61x +0.06x

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 -3.99%, losing 5.0pp. The main pressure comes from Gross margin fell 3.5pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 0.9pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.7pp).

The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Watchpoints

Financial result share remains high

Even though contribution decreased by 0.7pp, financial result still accounts for 35.0% of PBT — earnings durability should be monitored in coming periods.

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 balanced — liabilities at 0.99x equity, net debt at 0.79x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 38.1bn, roughly 35.2% of total assets.

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

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 47.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 39.5 days, DSO rose 15.4 days, and DPO rose 7.1 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 133.1 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +15.4 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 0.79x and interest coverage only at -2.93x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 6.7% of debt, and total debt stands at 45.4bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is -2.93x, 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.

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow reached -6.5bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -2.3bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +8.8bn. Financing cash flow was positive +8.8bn.

CFO / net income was -0.63x.

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. 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 5.0 pp.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 35.0% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -0.63x.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at -3.99% after a 5.0pp decline versus the same period last year.
