What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PMW is maintaining revenue, but margins are compressing slightly — profit is at an all-time high. More notably, a significant portion of profit is supported by non-core sources, further affecting earnings quality.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE is broadly flat at 17.0% — the components are offsetting one another.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin stands at 28.16%, broadly flat versus the same period. Supportive factors and pressure points are offsetting one another.
Margin is nearly flat but the underlying components are moving — this is a transitional phase, more time is needed to see the real trend.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Watchpoints
Financial result accounts for 34.3% of PBT and lifted net margin by 1.7pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency for utilities should be read alongside regulated tariffs and long-cycle depreciation — ROIC of 16.7% reflects a large fixed-asset base.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC edged up to 16.71%, rising 0.4pp. That translates to 16.71 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin narrowed 0.5pp, with capital turnover broadly stable; with invested capital holding roughly steady.
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. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.16x equity, net debt at 0.01x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 57.5bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower 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 54.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 9.0 days, DSO fell 13.2 days, and DPO rose 32.0 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 — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.01x and interest coverage at 70.98x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 57.3% of total debt, cash equals 76.6% of debt, and total debt stands at 12.9bn.
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 127.8bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -14.8bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +113.1bn. Financing cash flow was negative +150.6bn.
CFO / net income was 1.29x.
After spending +72.2bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +58.7bn.
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. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated. Warning and risk signals are not yet decisive enough to shift the picture.
Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 1.29x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 34.0% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
