What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, TMT posted a sharp profit increase versus the same period, suggesting a clear improvement from a low base — this marks a reversal from the difficult phase before. However, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this needs monitoring in coming periods.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 -96.0% = -11.3% × 1.34 × 6.35
2026Q1 34.3% = 3.1% × 1.23 × 8.91

ROE rose from -96.0% to 34.3% — mainly driven by leverage, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 3.1% +14.4pp Asset turnover: 1.23x -0.11x Leverage: 8.91x +2.55x

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 expanded to 3.13%, rising 14.4pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 14.8pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 1.4pp (with additional support from Other profit / Revenue rose 0.7pp and Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.3pp).

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

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC currently stands at 11.49%. Track NOPAT margin and capital turnover to assess capital efficiency.

ROIC 11.49%
NOPAT Margin 2.41%
Capital Turnover 4.76x +2.04x
Average Invested Capital 407.5bn −505.6bn

Balance Sheet

Leverage is very high, with clear pressure on the capital structure — liabilities at 7.46x equity, net debt at 1.53x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 449.6bn, roughly 30.3% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 340.6bn 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: +273.1bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +22.2bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −635.9bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 60.4 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 9.5 days, DSO rose 4.9 days, and DPO rose 55.9 days.

Extended payment timing is the main driver — consider whether this trades off supplier relationships.

Watchpoints

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +4.9 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 1.53x and interest coverage only at 0.80x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 69.6% of total debt, cash equals 48.9% of debt, and total debt stands at 623.2bn.

Watchpoints

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 1.53x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.80x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 1.53x +0.56x
Interest Coverage 0.80x +4.53x
Cash / Debt 48.9% −24.7pp

CFO / NI -3.84x −0.25x

Cash Flow

Leverage needs watching — cash flow below shows the ability to service debt from operations. Operating cash flow reached 60.5bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 13.1bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +73.5bn. Financing cash flow was positive +7.3bn.

CFO / net income was -3.84x.

After spending +11.9bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −245.0bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 233.1bn −1,244.5bn
Cash Capex 11.9bn +10.1bn
FCF TTM −245.0bn −1,254.6bn

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 operating efficiency, with net margin improving 14.4 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 22.9%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 0.80x.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 3.13% after expanding 14.4pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 22.9% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -3.84x.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 0.80x.
