What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, TNW has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. 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
ROE rose from -0.9% to 10.2% — mainly driven by net margin, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin expanded to 8.78%, rising 9.6pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 4.0pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 1.3pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 7.5pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.4pp remained a drag).
Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency for utilities should be read alongside regulated tariffs and long-cycle depreciation — ROIC of 3.4% reflects a large fixed-asset base.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 3.36%, rising 3.3pp. That translates to 3.36 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 8.6pp, 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. Leverage is elevated, requiring monitoring — liabilities at 2.76x equity, net debt at 1.93x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 36.9bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and higher payables. Pressure from higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 14.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 6.6 days, DSO fell 0.1 days, and DPO fell 7.5 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to shorter payment timing — may reflect pressure from suppliers.
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
CCC is up by +14.0 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.
DIO increased by +6.6 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.93x and interest coverage only at 0.71x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 7.6% of total debt, cash equals 4.6% of debt, and total debt stands at 460.3bn.
Leverage for utilities reflects long-term capital needs for fixed assets and recovery through regulated pricing — elevated leverage is structural to the industry.
Watchpoints
Net debt / equity stands at 1.93x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Interest coverage is 0.71x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Leverage and liquidity trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Cash Flow
Leverage needs watching — cash flow below shows the ability to service debt from operations. Operating cash flow reached 82.5bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -16.1bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +66.4bn. Financing cash flow was negative +37.8bn.
CFO / net income was 5.05x.
After spending +7.7bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +104.3bn.
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

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 9.6 pp. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 3.4%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 0.71x.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 8.78% after expanding 9.6pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 0.71x.
