What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PGN has not accelerated revenue, but profitability is improving more visibly — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. The positive sign is better operations, though this signal only becomes convincing if accompanied by a revenue recovery.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 0.5% = 0.2% × 1.10 × 1.88
2026Q1 1.6% = 1.6% × 0.58 × 1.66

ROE rose from 0.5% to 1.6% — mainly driven by net margin, despite asset turnover and leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 1.6% +1.4pp Asset turnover: 0.58x -0.52x Leverage: 1.66x -0.21x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin edged up to 1.62%, rising 1.4pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 0.6pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.2pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 1.4pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.5pp remained a drag).

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

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 78.9 days.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC edged up to 1.31%, rising 1.3pp. That translates to 1.31 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 1.5pp, with capital turnover fell 0.49x; with invested capital holding roughly steady.

NOPAT margin led the improvement, but the ROIC level has not yet cleared typical cost of capital — margin needs to hold in coming periods rather than being a one-period rebound.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently 1.31% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 1.31% +1.3pp
NOPAT Margin 1.52% +1.5pp
Capital Turnover 0.86x −0.49x
Average Invested Capital 122.2bn −42.3bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.58x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.21x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 23.8bn 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: +34.6bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −3.1bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −7.8bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 60.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 45.4 days, DSO rose 6.5 days, and DPO rose 22.0 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.

Watchpoints

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +6.5 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Receivables 119.7 days +6.5 days

Cash Conversion Cycle 78.9 days −60.8 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 27.9bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at -0.21x and interest coverage only at 0.51x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 99.9% of total debt, cash equals 152.8% of debt, and total debt stands at 43.8bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.51x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 99.9% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Interest Coverage 0.51x +0.47x

Post-investment cash flow was positive +10.1bn. Financing cash flow was negative +12.2bn.

Investment Takeaway

The business is heading the right way, but the current picture is still at partial confirmation — not yet a fully clean case. The positive points have clearly improved, showing the operating base is better than before. The brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 1.4 pp. The next item to monitor is cash generation still needs confirmation. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 1.3%.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 1.62% after expanding 1.4pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: Cash generation still needs confirmation.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
