What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PTB is improving on both growth and profitability, painting a notably more positive picture versus the same period — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. When both scale and efficiency improve together, this is typically a sign of quality growth.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 13.9% = 6.1% × 1.27 × 1.80
2026Q1 16.6% = 7.2% × 1.31 × 1.77

ROE rose from 13.9% to 16.6% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 7.2% +1.1pp Asset turnover: 1.31x +0.04x Leverage: 1.77x -0.03x

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 7.20%, rising 1.1pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 1.4pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 0.2pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.0pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.5pp remained a drag).

The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Profitability trend

Net Margin 7.20% +1.1pp
Gross Margin 20.49% +1.4pp
SG&A / Revenue 11.44% −0.2pp

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Is capital being used efficiently?

Return on capital rose, but cash cycle lengthened by 4.4 days — working capital needs watching.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 12.14%, rising 2.7pp. That translates to 12.14 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 1.5pp, with capital turnover broadly stable; while invested capital rose by 584bn.

Capital efficiency improved through NOPAT margin — this is a quality-led improvement when operating profit leads.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 12.14% +2.7pp
NOPAT Margin 7.31% +1.5pp
Capital Turnover 1.66x +0.04x
Average Invested Capital 4,677.4bn +584.0bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.91x equity, net debt at 0.43x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 1,783.6bn, roughly 27.9% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 628.7bn 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

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −282.8bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −363.0bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +17.1bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 4.4 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 0.1 days, DSO fell 2.6 days, and DPO fell 7.0 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to shorter payment timing — may reflect pressure from suppliers.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 109.3 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +0.1 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 43.0 days −2.6 days
Inventory 93.8 days +0.1 days
Payables 27.5 days −7.0 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 109.3 days +4.4 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 369.6bn due to capex of 501.7bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.43x and interest coverage at 6.51x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 77.5% of total debt, cash equals 21.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 1,999.9bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 77.5% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 21.5%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.43x +0.09x
Interest Coverage 6.51x +1.23x
Cash / Debt 21.5% −5.6pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 77.5% −16.6pp
CFO / NI 0.24x −0.93x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 445.7bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -477.8bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +32.0bn. Financing cash flow was positive +210.5bn.

CFO / net income was 0.24x.

After spending +501.7bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −369.6bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 132.1bn −330.8bn
Cash Capex 501.7bn +194.1bn
FCF TTM −369.6bn −524.9bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is entering a broader improvement phase — not just stronger earnings but better operating quality as well. Margin, ROIC, and cash flow all improving shows the business is growing in a cleaner and more efficient way than before. Notably, the improvement trend has been confirmed across multiple cycles, from margin to capital efficiency and cash generation. The residual risk still sits in self-funded cash generation remains weak.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 7.20% after expanding 1.1pp versus the same period last year.

Key risk: self-funded cash generation remains weak, with trailing-12M FCF still at 369.6bn.
