What Is Changing

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE fell from 2.4% to -0.0% — asset turnover weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

What is driving the margin?
Net margin stands at -0.00%, 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.

Balance Sheet
ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is balanced — liabilities at 2.42x equity, net debt at 0.78x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.1bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables. Pressure from higher inventories and lower payables only partly offset that benefit.

Is financial risk significant?
Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.78x and interest coverage only at -0.01x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 2.9% of debt, and total debt stands at 246.3bn.
Watchpoints
Interest coverage is -0.01x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
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 82.6bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -1.1bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +81.5bn. Financing cash flow was negative +82.2bn.
CFO / net income was -583.18x.
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 under real pressure, but the current picture has not turned broadly adverse. A notable area has clearly weakened, making the near-term outlook hard to call bright; even so, other parts of the business are still holding up, with leverage and liquidity remaining the main constraint, with interest coverage at -0.01x. The next watchpoint is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 7055.6%.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 7055.6% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -583.18x.
Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at -0.01x.
