## Asset intensity and goodwill

Ratios are derived from reported values. Goodwill is used only when separately reported, never inferred from combined intangible assets.

| Metric | Value | Sources |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Asset intensity (fixed assets ÷ revenue) | 37.8% | S100YE4Y |
| Fixed assets ÷ total assets | 31.3% | S100YE4Y |
| Goodwill ÷ parent equity | 3.0% | S100YE4Y |

### Cash quality

Net cash = cash − interest-bearing debt. Net debt ratio = (interest-bearing debt − cash) ÷ positive operating cash flow. Omit when debt components are incomplete; other ratios are derived from reported figures.

| Metric | Value |
| --- | ---: |
| Cash ratio (cash ÷ total assets) | 16.3% |
| Cash ÷ revenue | 19.7% |
| Net cash (cash − interest-bearing debt) | — |
| Net debt ÷ operating cash flow | — |
| Cash conversion (operating CF ÷ operating income) | 147.0% |
| Cash vs. profit gap | 3,135 JPY mn (of net income 71.6%) |

| Shareholder payments — dividends / net income | 73.2% |
| Shareholder payments — dividends / FCF | 63.4% |
| CapEx intensity (capex ÷ revenue) | 3.1% |
| Investing CF relative to operating CF | 43.2% |

## ROA and ROE

ROE is decomposed into net margin × asset turnover × financial leverage. Leverage can raise ROE, so the ratio alone does not assess a company's condition. Ending balances are used without a prior year; total equity approximates parent equity when unavailable.
