What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, DNH shows mild improvement in both revenue and margins, but the magnitude of change is narrow — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. This signal only becomes convincing if the improvement widens in coming periods.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 19.3% = 43.9% × 0.34 × 1.30
2026Q1 19.6% = 44.4% × 0.35 × 1.28

ROE is broadly flat at 19.6% — the components are offsetting one another.

Net margin: 44.4% +0.5pp Asset turnover: 0.35x +0.01x Leverage: 1.28x -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 edged up to 44.40%, rising 0.5pp. Core operating signals are improving as SG&A / Revenue fell 0.5pp are enough to offset pressure from Gross margin fell 2.1pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 2.3pp).

Margin improves from both core operations and non-core items — the core foundation is positive, but the sustainability of non-core contributions needs monitoring.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for utilities should be read alongside regulated tariffs and long-cycle depreciation — ROIC of 16.3% reflects a large fixed-asset base.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC edged up to 16.25%, rising 0.4pp. That translates to 16.25 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 0.5pp, 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 16.25% +0.4pp
NOPAT Margin 44.39% +0.5pp
Capital Turnover 0.37x +0.01x

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 0.41x equity, net debt at 0.20x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 1,056.7bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +480.2bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +3.1bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +573.4bn

Working Capital Efficiency

The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 16.6 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 5.3 days, DSO rose 17.9 days, and DPO fell 3.9 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower receivables collection — receivables quality needs monitoring.

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

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +17.9 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 122.3 days +17.9 days
Inventory 4.2 days −5.3 days
Payables 12.7 days −3.9 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 113.7 days +16.6 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 0.20x and interest coverage at 32.65x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 5.4% of total debt, cash equals 12.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 1,236.0bn.

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 buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 12.5%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.20x −0.01x
Interest Coverage 32.65x +18.87x
Cash / Debt 12.5% −5.1pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 5.4% +0.8pp
CFO / NI 1.80x +1.35x

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 1,387.6bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -313.6bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +1,074.0bn. Financing cash flow was negative +991.1bn.

CFO / net income was 1.80x.

After spending +64.7bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +1,827.7bn.

For utilities, high capex and long investment cycles are structural — short-term FCF volatility does not reflect long-term cash generation through regulated pricing.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 1,892.4bn +1,428.3bn
Cash Capex 64.7bn −10.4bn
FCF TTM +1,827.7bn +1,438.7bn

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 1.80x. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 16.3%.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.80x.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
