What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, TV3 is holding revenue at an acceptable level, but margins are eroding visibly — margins have been compressing consistently over multiple periods. More notably, a significant portion of profit is supported by non-core sources, further affecting earnings quality.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 10.4% = 7.8% × 0.85 × 1.58
2026Q1 8.1% = 4.1% × 1.21 × 1.63

ROE fell from 10.4% to 8.1% — net margin weakened the most, though asset turnover and leverage still provided support.

Net margin: 4.1% -3.6pp Asset turnover: 1.21x +0.35x Leverage: 1.63x +0.05x

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 4.11%, losing 3.6pp. The main pressure is SG&A / Revenue rose 1.7pp, outweighing the improvement in Gross margin rose 1.0pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.2pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 2.9pp remained a drag).

The pressure comes from non-core items while core operations hold their rhythm — margin has a basis to recover once this factor passes.

Profitability trend

Net Margin 4.11% −3.6pp
Gross Margin 28.98% +1.0pp
SG&A / Revenue 26.75% +1.7pp
Non-core / Revenue 2.75% −2.7pp

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Watchpoints

Financial result share remains high

Even though contribution decreased by 2.7pp, financial result still accounts for 55.7% of PBT — earnings durability should be monitored in coming periods.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC currently stands at 8.25%. Track NOPAT margin and capital turnover to assess capital efficiency.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 8.25%
NOPAT Margin 4.12%
Capital Turnover 2.00x +0.70x
Average Invested Capital 161.6bn +1.9bn

Balance Sheet

Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.75x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.06x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 44.2bn, roughly 15.3% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 16.7bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and higher payables. Pressure from higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +2.0bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −7.0bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +21.7bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 98.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 47.2 days, DSO fell 57.2 days, and DPO fell 6.4 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 223.3 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 165.4 days −57.2 days
Inventory 70.1 days −47.2 days

Cash Conversion Cycle 223.3 days −98.0 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 3.0bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.06x and interest coverage at 6.17x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 305.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 5.0bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Net Debt / Equity -0.06x −0.09x
Interest Coverage 6.17x −2.63x

Post-investment cash flow was positive +11.8bn. Financing cash flow was negative +26.5bn.

CFO / net income was 0.96x.

After spending +5.4bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +7.4bn.

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing a brighter picture at the headline-earnings level, but what deserves a closer look right now is the quality of that improvement. Margins and net profit may look better, but if financial income, other income, or unusually low taxes contribute too much, this is not yet a clean enough growth base to extrapolate further. The main bright spot is balance-sheet flexibility, with net cash/equity at about -0.06x. Even so, the earnings mix still warrants monitoring in upcoming periods, when non-core contribution is 55.4%. The residual risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 3.6 pp.

Improvement: the balance sheet remains flexible, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.06x of equity.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 55.4% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.96x.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 4.11% after a 3.6pp decline versus the same period last year.
