What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SJD has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — profit is at an all-time high. Profit growth is driven mainly by better operations rather than scale expansion — a foundation that tends to be more durable.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 13.4% = 33.0% × 0.32 × 1.28
2026Q1 16.2% = 37.2% × 0.34 × 1.27

ROE rose from 13.4% to 16.2% — mainly driven by net margin, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 37.2% +4.2pp Asset turnover: 0.34x +0.03x Leverage: 1.27x -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 expanded to 37.22%, rising 4.2pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 5.7pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 4.3pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 2.9pp).

Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for utilities should be read alongside regulated tariffs and long-cycle depreciation — ROIC of 15.9% reflects a large fixed-asset base.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 15.87%, rising 2.7pp. That translates to 15.87 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 3.9pp, 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.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 15.87% +2.7pp
NOPAT Margin 36.97% +3.9pp
Capital Turnover 0.43x +0.03x
Average Invested Capital 1,073.6bn +23.6bn

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 0.30x equity, net debt at 0.05x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 15.7bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables. Pressure from higher inventories and lower payables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +17.9bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −0.6bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −1.6bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 73.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 0.7 days, DSO fell 74.9 days, and DPO fell 0.4 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 505.6 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +0.7 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 588.1 days −74.9 days
Inventory 3.9 days +0.7 days
Payables 86.4 days −0.4 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 505.6 days −73.8 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 0.05x and interest coverage at 10.89x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 4.3% of total debt, cash equals 73.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 197.8bn.

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 0.05x +0.07x
Interest Coverage 10.89x +2.39x
Cash / Debt 73.2% −39.3pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 4.3% −0.9pp
CFO / NI 1.04x −0.25x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 149.3bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -83.5bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +65.8bn. Financing cash flow was negative +124.8bn.

CFO / net income was 1.04x.

After spending +6.6bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +170.8bn.

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 177.4bn −1.3bn
Cash Capex 6.6bn
FCF TTM +170.8bn

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 operating efficiency, with net margin improving 4.2 pp. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 15.9%.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 37.22% after expanding 4.2pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
