What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, REE is growing strongly on the back of scale expansion, while margins have only improved slightly — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. What is still missing is the ability to translate this revenue momentum into more visible margin improvement.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 12.1% = 30.9% × 0.24 × 1.63
2026Q1 13.6% = 31.4% × 0.27 × 1.61

ROE rose from 12.1% to 13.6% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 31.4% +0.5pp Asset turnover: 0.27x +0.03x Leverage: 1.61x -0.02x

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 31.41%, rising 0.5pp. Core operating signals are improving as SG&A / Revenue fell 0.5pp are enough to offset pressure from Gross margin fell 1.5pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 2.2pp 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.

Gross Margin 37.17% −1.5pp
SG&A / Revenue 7.57% −0.5pp

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for utilities should be read alongside regulated tariffs and long-cycle depreciation — ROIC of 11.0% reflects a large fixed-asset base.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 11.04%, rising 1.6pp. That translates to 11.04 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 0.9pp, with capital turnover broadly stable; while invested capital rose by 1,747bn.

For utilities, ROIC reflects returns on a large fixed-asset base — this is a reference signal and should be read alongside regulated tariffs.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 11.04% +1.6pp
NOPAT Margin 31.70% +0.9pp
Capital Turnover 0.35x +0.04x
Average Invested Capital 29,899.4bn +1,746.7bn

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 0.62x equity, net debt at 0.27x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 37.5bn 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: −717.0bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +34.8bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +644.7bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 42.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 21.3 days, DSO fell 23.2 days, and DPO fell 2.3 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.

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.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 143.5 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 104.2 days −23.2 days
Inventory 82.0 days −21.3 days
Payables 42.7 days −2.3 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 143.5 days −42.2 days

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 0.27x and interest coverage at 5.10x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 13.7% of total debt, cash equals 37.1% of debt, and total debt stands at 10,788.8bn.

Leverage for utilities reflects long-term capital needs for fixed assets and recovery through regulated pricing — elevated leverage is structural to the industry.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.27x +0.06x
Interest Coverage 5.10x +1.23x
Cash / Debt 37.1% −15.6pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 13.7% +1.4pp
CFO / NI 1.29x −0.33x

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 2,710.9bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -4,555.5bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +1,844.6bn. Financing cash flow was negative +745.5bn.

CFO / net income was 1.29x.

After spending +2,097.9bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +1,294.2bn.

For utilities, high capex and long investment cycles are structural — short-term FCF volatility does not reflect long-term cash generation through regulated pricing.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 3,392.2bn −58.7bn
Cash Capex 2,097.9bn +1,096.0bn
FCF TTM +1,294.2bn −1,154.7bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing brightening signals, but the improvement is still early and not yet thick enough to read as a confirmed trend. The brighter spot is earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 1.29x. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 11.0%.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.29x.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
