What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PHR is improving on both revenue and margins, suggesting current growth is backed by both scale and operating efficiency — margins have been compressing consistently over multiple periods. However, a significant portion of profit is supported by non-core sources, making the picture not entirely clear.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 13.0% = 32.0% × 0.27 × 1.50
2026Q1 16.6% = 36.6% × 0.32 × 1.44

ROE rose from 13.0% to 16.6% — mainly driven by net margin, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 36.6% +4.5pp Asset turnover: 0.32x +0.04x Leverage: 1.44x -0.05x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins improved (+4.5pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 36.57%, rising 4.5pp. Despite pressure from Gross margin fell 1.4pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 0.8pp, the offset came from Other profit / Revenue rose 14.3pp (pressure remains from Net financial result / Revenue fell 2.8pp).

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

Net Margin 36.57% +4.5pp
Gross Margin 26.51% −1.4pp
SG&A / Revenue 10.98% +0.8pp
Non-core / Revenue 25.91% +11.5pp

Watchpoints

Other income is supporting margin

Other income accounts for 58.2% of PBT and lifted net margin by 11.5pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.

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 10.41%, falling 1.1pp. That translates to 10.41 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Although capital turnover rose 0.08x, NOPAT margin narrowed 6.9pp still pulled ROIC lower, with invested capital holding roughly steady.

Pressure came from the margin side — core operations are weakening, not just a temporary asset-management issue.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 10.41% −1.1pp
NOPAT Margin 21.53% −6.9pp
Capital Turnover 0.48x +0.08x
Average Invested Capital 4,037.3bn +11.3bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.46x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.09x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 15.1bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables. Part of that drag was offset by lower inventories and higher payables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −287.2bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +226.5bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +45.5bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 33.4 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 30.4 days, DSO fell 3.5 days, and DPO fell 0.4 days.

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

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 6.3 days −3.5 days
Inventory 81.9 days −30.4 days
Payables 6.9 days −0.4 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 81.3 days −33.4 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 615.8bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.09x and interest coverage at 15.15x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 5927.0% of debt, and total debt stands at 6.9bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Net Debt / Equity -0.09x −0.06x
Interest Coverage 15.15x −16.45x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 615.8bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -27.7bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +588.2bn. Financing cash flow was negative +327.8bn.

CFO / net income was 1.02x.

After spending +47.5bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +662.2bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Capex 47.5bn −32.0bn
FCF TTM +662.2bn +465.3bn

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 4.5 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 17.0%.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 36.57% after expanding 4.5pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 1.02x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 17.0% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
