What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, GLW has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — profit is at an all-time high. Profit growth is driven mainly by better operations rather than scale expansion — a foundation that tends to be more durable.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 6.4% to 7.2% — mainly driven by net margin.
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 19.64%, rising 2.2pp. Core operating signals are improving as SG&A / Revenue fell 0.7pp are enough to offset pressure from Gross margin fell 0.3pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 2.6pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.2pp remained a drag).
Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.

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 0.06x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.09x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 6.9bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 7.6 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 1.0 days, DSO fell 5.2 days, and DPO rose 1.5 days.
All 3 drivers (collection, inventory, payables) are improving — working capital turnover is strengthening across the board.
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.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 23.5bn.
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
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 23.5bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -16.0bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +7.5bn. Financing cash flow was negative +9.0bn.
CFO / net income was 1.18x.
After spending +30.2bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −13.0bn.
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 2.2 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 18.3%.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 19.64% after expanding 2.2pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 1.18x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 18.3% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
