What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, X20 is declining across multiple metrics versus the same period, suggesting current pressure is not coming from just one side — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. What remains unclear is whether the business can stabilize before this trend deepens.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 16.7% = 4.0% × 2.74 × 1.53
2026Q1 14.0% = 3.7% × 2.39 × 1.59

ROE fell from 16.7% to 14.0% — asset turnover weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: 3.7% -0.3pp Asset turnover: 2.39x -0.36x Leverage: 1.59x +0.06x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.

What is driving the margin?

Net margin stands at 3.68%, 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.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency is declining — check whether the drag is from margins or turnover.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC fell to 23.00%, losing 3.9pp. That translates to 23.00 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin narrowed 0.2pp and capital turnover fell 0.76x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — pressure came from both operational efficiency and asset efficiency.

Pressure came from turnover — added capital has not been absorbed quickly enough, a typical investment-cycle dynamic.

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 23.00% −3.9pp
NOPAT Margin 3.66% −0.2pp
Capital Turnover 6.29x −0.76x
Average Invested Capital 183.5bn +14.7bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 1.05x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.32x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 142.0bn, roughly 23.7% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 31.8bn of cash, mainly thanks to higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables and higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −41.7bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −6.5bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +79.9bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 0.4 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 4.2 days, DSO fell 0.0 days, and DPO rose 3.7 days.

Working capital cycle is flat — components are offsetting each other.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle is lengthening

CCC is up by +0.4 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +4.2 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.32x and interest coverage at 64.15x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 21.2% of total debt, cash equals 1118.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 9.8bn.

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow reached -19.5bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -55.9bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +75.4bn. Financing cash flow was negative +23.0bn.

CFO / net income was 1.46x.

After spending +32.3bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +29.8bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 62.1bn −4.1bn
Cash Capex 32.3bn +22.0bn
FCF TTM +29.8bn −26.1bn

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 earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 1.46x. Warning and risk signals are not yet decisive enough to shift the picture.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.46x.
