What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, TAR has not accelerated revenue, but profitability is improving more visibly — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. However, profit is significantly supported by non-core sources and operating cash flow is not yet positive — the improvement signal needs more time to confirm.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 -3.1% = -0.9% × 1.60 × 2.31
2026Q1 0.7% = 0.3% × 1.21 × 2.14

ROE rose from -3.1% to 0.7% — mainly driven by net margin, despite asset turnover and leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 0.3% +1.1pp Asset turnover: 1.21x -0.38x Leverage: 2.14x -0.17x

Is the profit sustainable?

Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin edged up to 0.27%, rising 1.1pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 1.4pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.4pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.1pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.2pp remained a drag).

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

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Margin support from financial result remains high (56.5% of PBT) — sustainability should be monitored.

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.

Capital Turnover 1.34x −0.44x

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is balanced — liabilities at 1.07x equity, net debt at 0.98x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 140.2bn of cash, mainly because of lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower receivables and lower inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +47.8bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +139.2bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −327.2bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 18.6 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 33.9 days, DSO rose 9.2 days, and DPO fell 6.2 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.

Watchpoints

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +9.2 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 0.98x and interest coverage only at 0.06x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 0.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 1,147.7bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.06x, 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 0.98x +0.08x
Interest Coverage 0.06x +0.31x
Cash / Debt 0.2% −1.2pp

CFO / NI -11.46x −7.74x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 147.5bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -1.6bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +145.9bn. Financing cash flow was negative +145.5bn.

CFO / net income was -11.46x.

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 1.1 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is -683.4%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 0.06x.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 26.61% after expanding 1.1pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for -683.4% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -11.46x.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 0.06x.
