What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 50.82%, rising 19.4pp. Despite pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 23.9pp and Gross margin fell 7.0pp, the offset came from Net financial result / Revenue rose 6.4pp (pressure remains from Other profit / Revenue fell 1.6pp).

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

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 0.15x −0.07x

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.10x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.07x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 50.6bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower inventories. Pressure from lower payables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +27.7bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +23.1bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −0.1bn

Working Capital Efficiency

The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 83.1 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 74.4 days, DSO rose 161.5 days, and DPO rose 4.0 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower receivables collection — receivables quality needs monitoring.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 684.8 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +161.5 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 5.1bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.07x and interest coverage at 33.19x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 368.1% of debt, and total debt stands at 7.1bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

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

Post-investment cash flow was positive +82.6bn. Financing cash flow was negative +77.9bn.

CFO / net income was 0.63x.

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 19.4 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 18.4%. The main risk still sits in working capital is tied up too long in the operating cycle, with CCC extended to 685 days.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 50.82% after expanding 19.4pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 18.4% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.63x.

Key risk: working capital remains tied up for too long, with cash cycle at 684.8 days.
