What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, GAS is showing a few mildly negative signals versus the same period, though nothing alarming at current levels — margins have been compressing consistently over multiple periods. The point still to be proven is whether this is a short adjustment or the beginning of a weaker trend.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 16.3% to 17.5% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite net margin and leverage moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin fell to 8.00%, losing 2.2pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 5.3pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 2.8pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.1pp and Other profit / Revenue fell 0.0pp).
The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.

Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency for utilities should be read alongside regulated tariffs and long-cycle depreciation — ROIC of 18.8% reflects a large fixed-asset base.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 18.75%, rising 1.8pp. That translates to 18.75 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. capital turnover rose 0.67x was enough to offset the contraction in NOPAT margin narrowed 2.2pp, 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. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.38x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.06x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 4,380.3bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories. Part of that drag was offset by higher payables.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 2.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 3.1 days, DSO fell 7.7 days, and DPO fell 8.0 days.
Extended payment timing is the main driver — consider whether this trades off supplier relationships.
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 — the company has net cash and CFO reached 13,040.2bn.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.06x and interest coverage at 37.96x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 53.0% of total debt, cash equals 223.0% of debt, and total debt stands at 3,283.5bn.
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 13,040.2bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -6,468.6bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +6,571.6bn. Financing cash flow was negative +5,264.5bn.
CFO / net income was 0.73x.
After spending +2,237.5bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +6,185.4bn.
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 under real pressure, but the current picture has not turned broadly adverse. A notable area has clearly weakened, making the near-term outlook hard to call bright; even so, other parts of the business are still holding up, with margins remain under pressure remaining the main constraint, with net margin down 2.2 pp. The next watchpoint is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 18.8%. The main offsetting support comes from earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 0.73x.
Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 0.73x.
Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 8.00% after a 2.2pp decline versus the same period last year.
