What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, BTP posted a sharp profit increase versus the same period, suggesting a clear improvement from a low base — profit is at an all-time high. However, most of the profit comes from non-core sources — this needs careful evaluation before concluding on growth quality.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 3.4% = 9.9% × 0.29 × 1.18
2026Q1 5.2% = 21.6% × 0.21 × 1.13

ROE rose from 3.4% to 5.2% — mainly driven by net margin, despite asset turnover and leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 21.6% +11.7pp Asset turnover: 0.21x -0.08x Leverage: 1.13x -0.05x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins improved (+11.7pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 21.60%, rising 11.7pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 8.9pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 6.6pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 10.7pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.5pp 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.

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Financial result accounts for 101.7% of PBT and lifted net margin by 10.2pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for utilities should be read alongside regulated tariffs and long-cycle depreciation — ROIC of 5.2% reflects a large fixed-asset base.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 5.19%, rising 2.0pp. That translates to 5.19 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 12.1pp, with capital turnover fell 0.08x; 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.

ROIC 5.19% +2.0pp
NOPAT Margin 22.38% +12.1pp
Capital Turnover 0.23x −0.08x
Average Invested Capital 1,126.1bn −42.6bn

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 0.13x equity, net debt at 0.00x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 140.3bn, roughly 11.5% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 29.7bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +16.9bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +9.2bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +3.6bn

Working Capital Efficiency

The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 88.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 74.4 days, DSO rose 16.3 days, and DPO rose 2.5 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.

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 288.1 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +16.3 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

Receivables 47.0 days +16.3 days
Inventory 245.3 days +74.4 days
Payables 4.2 days +2.5 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 288.1 days +88.2 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 0.00x and interest coverage at 16.06x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 50.0% of total debt, cash equals 96.7% of debt, and total debt stands at 89.5bn.

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 0.00x −0.06x
Interest Coverage 16.06x +6.06x
Cash / Debt 96.7% +50.2pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 50.0% +16.7pp
CFO / NI 1.42x +0.29x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 46.0bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 14.5bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +60.5bn. Financing cash flow was negative +63.3bn.

CFO / net income was 1.42x.

After spending +11.4bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +68.9bn.

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 80.3bn +39.0bn
Cash Capex 11.4bn +11.0bn
FCF TTM +68.9bn +28.0bn

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 11.7 pp. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 21.60% after expanding 11.7pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 1.42x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 98.1% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
