What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, CHP is improving on both revenue and margins, though the magnitude is still moderate — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. This signal only becomes convincing if the improvement continues through the next few periods.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 20.5% = 44.3% × 0.33 × 1.40
2026Q1 21.5% = 44.7% × 0.37 × 1.31

ROE rose from 20.5% to 21.5% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 44.7% +0.5pp Asset turnover: 0.37x +0.04x Leverage: 1.31x -0.10x

Is the profit sustainable?

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

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin edged up to 44.74%, rising 0.5pp. Despite pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.9pp and Gross margin fell 0.8pp, the offset came from Net financial result / Revenue rose 2.6pp.

Margin improves from both core operations and non-core items — the core foundation is positive, but the sustainability of non-core contributions needs monitoring.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for utilities should be read alongside regulated tariffs and long-cycle depreciation — ROIC of 19.6% reflects a large fixed-asset base.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 19.64%, rising 2.1pp. That translates to 19.64 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 0.4pp, with capital turnover broadly stable; with invested capital easing slightly by 101bn.

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

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 15.5 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 0.9 days, DSO rose 14.2 days, and DPO fell 2.2 days.

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

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.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle is lengthening

CCC is up by +15.5 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +14.2 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.11x and interest coverage at 14.13x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 21.9% of total debt, cash equals 38.8% of debt, and total debt stands at 366.9bn.

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

Net Debt / Equity 0.11x +0.03x
Interest Coverage 14.13x +5.42x
Cash / Debt 38.8% −31.9pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 21.9% −10.6pp
CFO / NI 1.35x −0.12x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 689.3bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -103.9bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +585.4bn. Financing cash flow was negative +530.2bn.

CFO / net income was 1.35x.

Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.

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

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 earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 1.35x. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 19.6%.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.35x.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
