What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, DNA is improving on both revenue and margins, though the magnitude is still moderate — profit is at an all-time high. This signal only becomes convincing if the improvement continues through the next few periods.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 15.6% = 5.3% × 1.70 × 1.73
2026Q1 16.7% = 5.3% × 1.78 × 1.76

ROE rose from 15.6% to 16.7% — mainly driven by asset turnover.

Net margin: 5.3% +0.0pp Asset turnover: 1.78x +0.07x Leverage: 1.76x +0.03x

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 stands at 5.34%, broadly flat versus the same period. Supportive factors and pressure points are offsetting one another.

Margin is nearly flat but the underlying components are moving — this is a transitional phase, more time is needed to see the real trend.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for utilities should be read alongside regulated tariffs and long-cycle depreciation — ROIC of 13.2% reflects a large fixed-asset base.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC edged up to 13.19%, rising 0.8pp. That translates to 13.19 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is capital turnover rose 0.14x — the business is generating more revenue per unit of capital, with NOPAT margin steady; 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. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.91x equity, net debt at 0.24x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 65.8bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +55.3bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +4.2bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +6.3bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 9.5 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 0.3 days, DSO fell 4.2 days, and DPO rose 5.1 days.

All 3 drivers (collection, inventory, payables) are improving — working capital turnover is strengthening across the board.

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.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 32.1 days −4.2 days
Inventory 6.6 days −0.3 days
Payables 30.2 days +5.1 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 8.4 days −9.5 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 0.24x and interest coverage at 8.15x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 24.5% of total debt, cash equals 30.9% of debt, and total debt stands at 312.9bn.

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

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 277.4bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -137.4bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +140.0bn. Financing cash flow was negative +24.8bn.

CFO / net income was 1.58x.

After spending +161.5bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +75.2bn.

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 236.7bn +69.5bn
Cash Capex 161.5bn +69.7bn
FCF TTM +75.2bn −0.2bn

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 1.58x. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 13.2%.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.58x.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
