What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, BHA has not accelerated revenue, but profitability is improving more visibly — profit is at an all-time high. The positive sign is better operations, though this signal only becomes convincing if accompanied by a revenue recovery.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE is broadly flat at 16.9% — the components are offsetting one another.
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 50.12%, rising 6.2pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 3.0pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.4pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 4.3pp).
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

Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency for utilities should be read alongside regulated tariffs and long-cycle depreciation — ROIC reflects a large fixed-asset base.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.
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. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.36x equity, net debt at 0.23x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 11.4bn of cash, mainly because of lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower receivables.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Track receivable, inventory, and payable turns to judge working-capital efficiency.
Track DSO, DIO, DPO components to evaluate working capital turnover efficiency.
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.

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 0.23x and interest coverage at 5.36x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 32.7% of total debt, cash equals 12.0% of debt, and total debt stands at 277.5bn.
Leverage for utilities reflects long-term capital needs for fixed assets and recovery through regulated pricing — elevated leverage is structural to the industry.
Watchpoints
Cash / debt stands at 12.0%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 225.2bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -21.9bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +203.3bn. Financing cash flow was negative +246.0bn.
CFO / net income was 1.43x.
After spending +21.5bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +224.7bn.
For utilities, high capex and long investment cycles are structural — short-term FCF volatility does not reflect long-term cash generation through regulated pricing.

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 6.2 pp. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 50.12% after expanding 6.2pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
