What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PPT is improving on both growth and profitability, painting a notably more positive picture versus the same period — profit is at an all-time high. However, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this needs monitoring in coming periods.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 4.8% to 5.9% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin stands at 0.25%, 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.

Is capital being used efficiently?
Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC edged up to 2.94%, rising 0.8pp. That translates to 2.94 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is capital turnover rose 1.43x — the business is generating more revenue per unit of capital, with NOPAT margin steady; with invested capital holding roughly steady.
Capital turnover improved — a positive signal on asset efficiency, but with ROIC still low, NOPAT margin also needs to lift in coming periods to produce meaningful returns.
Watchpoints
ROIC is currently 2.94% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Balance Sheet
Leverage is elevated, requiring monitoring — liabilities at 1.51x equity, net debt at 1.09x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 140.5bn, roughly 27.8% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.0bn of cash.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle improved by 0.3 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 1.4 days, DSO rose 0.8 days, and DPO fell 0.3 days.
Working capital cycle is flat — components are offsetting each other.
Watchpoints
DSO increased by +0.8 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?
Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.09x and interest coverage only at 0.75x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 19.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 278.9bn.
Watchpoints
Net debt / equity stands at 1.09x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Interest coverage is 0.75x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 11.9bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -23.8bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +11.9bn. Financing cash flow was positive +17.6bn.
CFO / net income was -2.11x.

Cash capex or FCF data is incomplete, so the cash-conversion view is only partial.

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 earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at -2.11x. The next item to monitor is cash generation still needs confirmation. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 2.9%.
Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at -2.11x.
Watchpoint: Cash generation still needs confirmation.
Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
