What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, CMW is improving on both revenue and margins, though the magnitude is still moderate — profit is at an all-time high. 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
ROE rose from 9.0% to 10.5% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin edged up to 12.27%, rising 0.7pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 1.1pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.5pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.3pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.1pp remained a drag).
Margin improves from both core operations and non-core items — the core foundation is positive, but the sustainability of non-core contributions needs monitoring.
Profitability trend

Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency for utilities should be read alongside regulated tariffs and long-cycle depreciation — ROIC of 7.3% reflects a large fixed-asset base.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC edged up to 7.30%, rising 0.4pp. That translates to 7.30 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 holding roughly steady.
For utilities, ROIC reflects returns on a large fixed-asset base — this is a reference signal and should be read alongside regulated tariffs.

Balance Sheet
ROIC for utilities reflects a large fixed-asset base and regulated tariffs — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.86x equity, net debt at 0.29x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.0bn of cash.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 13.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 1.1 days, DSO fell 2.0 days, and DPO fell 13.9 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to shorter payment timing — may reflect pressure from suppliers.
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
CCC is up by +13.0 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.
DIO increased by +1.1 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.29x and interest coverage at 7.63x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 55.3% of total debt, cash equals 5.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 56.6bn.
Leverage for utilities reflects long-term capital needs for fixed assets and recovery through regulated pricing — elevated leverage is structural to the industry.
Watchpoints
Cash / debt stands at 5.3%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.
Leverage and liquidity trend

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 40.8bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -30.4bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +10.4bn. Financing cash flow was negative +10.6bn.
CFO / net income was 1.81x.
After spending +30.4bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +4.2bn.
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 1.81x. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 7.3%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 7.63x.
Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.81x.
Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
Key risk: leverage and liquidity remain a pressure point, with net debt / equity at 0.29x and a thin cash buffer.
