What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PAC is maintaining revenue, but margins are compressing slightly — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. What remains unclear is whether this is a short-term fluctuation or costs are starting to outpace revenue.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE fell from 13.1% to 10.8% — net margin weakened the most, though asset turnover and leverage still provided support.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin narrowed to 3.07%, falling 0.8pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 1.4pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 0.1pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.1pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 0.0pp).
The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.

Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency is declining — check whether the drag is from margins or turnover.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC narrowed to 4.90%, falling 1.4pp. That translates to 4.90 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from NOPAT margin narrowed 0.9pp, outweighing the movement in capital turnover; while invested capital rose by 188bn.
Pressure came from the margin side — core operations are weakening, not just a temporary asset-management issue.
Watchpoints
ROIC is currently 4.90% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

Balance Sheet
ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Leverage is elevated, requiring monitoring — liabilities at 1.67x equity, net debt at 1.28x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 731.6bn, roughly 26.7% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 4.4bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories. Part of that drag was offset by higher payables.
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 10.1 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 5.9 days, DSO fell 9.0 days, and DPO fell 4.8 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.

Is financial risk significant?
Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 24.8bn due to capex of 155.3bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.28x and interest coverage only at 2.25x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 99.6% of total debt, cash equals 6.8% of debt, and total debt stands at 1,433.4bn.
Watchpoints
Net debt / equity stands at 1.28x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Short-term debt accounts for 99.6% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 14.5bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -182.3bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +167.8bn. Financing cash flow was positive +66.2bn.
CFO / net income was 1.18x.
After spending +155.3bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −24.8bn.
Cash Conversion

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 earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 1.18x. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 4.9%.
Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.18x.
Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
