What Is Changing
On a Năm 2025 basis, NSL posted a very sharp profit drop versus the same period, showing that pressure has clearly fed through to the bottom line — margins have been compressing consistently over multiple periods. The key watch now is how long the business needs to stabilize its profit base.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are broadly flat — earnings quality is the factor to watch.
What is driving the margin?
Track net margin changes and the operating components against the same period last year.
Profitability trend
Is capital being used efficiently?
Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.
Balance Sheet
Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.40x equity, net debt at 0.47x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 11.5bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower inventories.
Working Capital Drivers

Working Capital Efficiency
Track receivable, inventory, and payable turns to judge working-capital efficiency.
Track DSO, DIO, DPO components to evaluate working capital turnover efficiency.
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 — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage is balanced for now, with net debt / equity at 0.47x and interest coverage at 3.38x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 15.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 34.5bn.
Leverage for utilities reflects long-term capital needs for fixed assets and recovery through regulated pricing — elevated leverage is structural to the industry.
Watchpoints
Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.
Cash / debt stands at 15.3%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 20.7bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -29.1bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +8.4bn. Financing cash flow was negative +2.9bn.
CFO / net income was 5.19x.
After spending +24.3bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +4.4bn.
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 next item to monitor is capital structure should be read with cycle risk in mind. Warning and risk signals are not yet decisive enough to shift the picture.
Watchpoint: Capital structure should be read with cycle risk in mind.
