What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, EIC has not accelerated revenue, but profitability is improving more visibly — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. More notably, profit relies heavily on non-core sources while operating cash flow is negative — these two factors together suggest earnings quality needs cautious evaluation.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 12.4% = 395.3% × 0.03 × 1.05
2026Q1 13.0% = 482.0% × 0.03 × 1.05

ROE rose from 12.4% to 13.0% — mainly driven by net margin, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 482.0% +86.7pp Asset turnover: 0.03x -0.00x Leverage: 1.05x +0.00x

Is the profit sustainable?

Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 482.00%, rising 86.7pp. Despite pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 65.8pp and Gross margin fell 2.3pp, the offset came from Net financial result / Revenue rose 296.5pp.

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

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Financial result accounts for 179.7% of PBT and lifted net margin by 296.5pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.

Is capital being used efficiently?

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

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.

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. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.04x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.00x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 1.7bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables. Pressure from higher inventories and lower payables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +3.4bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −0.6bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −1.0bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 51.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 28.9 days, DSO rose 24.3 days, and DPO rose 2.0 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.

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 remains stretched

CCC stands at 292.4 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +24.3 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Track net leverage, interest coverage, and the liquidity buffer on the balance sheet.

Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.

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

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow reached -12.2bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 40.0bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +27.8bn. Financing cash flow was negative +22.5bn.

CFO / net income was -0.26x.

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 a few weaker signals, but the current magnitude is not yet clear enough to conclude that this is a broader weakening phase. The brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 86.7 pp. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 482.00% after expanding 86.7pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 179.7% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -0.26x.
