What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, ASP is improving on both growth and profitability, painting a notably more positive picture versus the same period — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. When both scale and efficiency improve together, this is typically a sign of quality growth.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 4.4% = 0.5% × 1.83 × 5.07
2026Q1 19.6% = 2.0% × 2.30 × 4.18

ROE rose from 4.4% to 19.6% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 2.0% +1.6pp Asset turnover: 2.30x +0.47x Leverage: 4.18x -0.89x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 2.04%, rising 1.6pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 1.2pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 0.3pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.2pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.2pp remained a drag).

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

Profitability trend

Net Margin 2.04% +1.6pp
Gross Margin 11.74% +1.2pp
SG&A / Revenue 9.47% −0.3pp

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for utilities should be read alongside regulated tariffs and long-cycle depreciation — ROIC of 7.5% reflects a large fixed-asset base.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 7.54%, rising 7.4pp. That translates to 7.54 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 1.5pp and capital turnover rose 1.32x, while invested capital contracted by 201bn — capital-return quality improved from both sides.

For utilities, ROIC reflects returns on a large fixed-asset base — this is a reference signal and should be read alongside regulated tariffs.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 7.54% +7.4pp
NOPAT Margin 1.55% +1.5pp
Capital Turnover 4.85x +1.32x
Average Invested Capital 680.0bn −201.4bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC for utilities reflects a large fixed-asset base and regulated tariffs — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is balanced — liabilities at 3.02x equity, net debt at 0.72x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 33.6bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories. Part of that drag was offset by higher payables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −33.0bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −25.3bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +24.7bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 2.1 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 1.6 days, DSO fell 11.2 days, and DPO fell 10.7 days.

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

For utilities, working capital cycle reflects regulated pricing mechanics and long-term settlement contracts — DSO/DIO/DPO should be treated as contextual signals rather than pure efficiency indicators.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 56.3 days −11.2 days
Inventory 10.8 days −1.6 days
Payables 70.5 days −10.7 days
Cash Conversion Cycle -3.4 days −2.1 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.72x and interest coverage only at 1.40x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 29.8% of debt, and total debt stands at 388.0bn.

Leverage for utilities reflects long-term capital needs for fixed assets and recovery through regulated pricing — elevated leverage is structural to the industry.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 1.40x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

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

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.72x −0.57x
Interest Coverage 1.40x +1.36x
Cash / Debt 29.8% +4.2pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 100.0% 0.0pp
CFO / NI 1.61x −10.51x

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 56.9bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 43.2bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +100.1bn. Financing cash flow was negative +212.7bn.

CFO / net income was 1.61x.

After spending +5.8bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +100.9bn.

For utilities, high capex and long investment cycles are structural — short-term FCF volatility does not reflect long-term cash generation through regulated pricing.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 106.7bn −86.5bn
Cash Capex 5.8bn +3.0bn
FCF TTM +100.9bn −89.5bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing brightening signals, but the improvement is still early and not yet thick enough to read as a confirmed trend. The brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 1.6 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 23.8%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 1.40x.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 2.04% after expanding 1.6pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 1.61x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 23.8% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 1.40x.
