What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, GEG posted slightly higher profit versus the same period, but the increase is thin and not yet paired with clear improvement in revenue or margins — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. The point still to be proven is whether this profit level holds without further revenue momentum.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE is broadly flat at 9.1% — the components are offsetting one another.
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 22.52%, rising 1.1pp. Despite pressure from Gross margin fell 3.1pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 2.3pp, the offset came from Net financial result / Revenue rose 6.5pp (pressure remains from Other profit / Revenue fell 0.0pp).
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 4.0% reflects a large fixed-asset base.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC stands at 3.96%, broadly flat versus the same period. That translates to 3.96 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. NOPAT margin rose 1.1pp, but capital turnover broadly stable, with invested capital holding roughly steady — the two factors are offsetting each other, keeping overall ROIC nearly unchanged.
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. Leverage is elevated, requiring monitoring — liabilities at 1.33x equity, net debt at 1.19x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 115.3bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower inventories.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 18.9 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 12.9 days, DSO rose 18.6 days, and DPO fell 13.1 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
CCC stands at 160.8 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.
DSO increased by +18.6 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

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 1.19x and interest coverage only at 1.00x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 6.7% of total debt, cash equals 1.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 8,176.3bn.
Leverage for utilities reflects long-term capital needs for fixed assets and recovery through regulated pricing — elevated leverage is structural to the industry.
Watchpoints
Net debt / equity stands at 1.19x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Interest coverage is 1.00x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Leverage and liquidity trend

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 932.7bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 1.9bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +934.6bn. Financing cash flow was negative +1,012.0bn.
CFO / net income was 2.04x.
After spending +482.1bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +601.6bn.
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 operating efficiency, with net margin improving 1.1 pp. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 4.0%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 1.00x.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 22.52% after expanding 1.1pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 1.00x.
