What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, HJS 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

2025Q1 11.8% = 30.7% × 0.35 × 1.09
2026Q1 13.2% = 33.5% × 0.36 × 1.08

ROE rose from 11.8% to 13.2% — mainly driven by net margin, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 33.5% +2.9pp Asset turnover: 0.36x +0.01x Leverage: 1.08x -0.00x

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 33.52%, rising 2.9pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 3.0pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.7pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 1.2pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 0.3pp).

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 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. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.13x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.04x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 8.5bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and lower payables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −6.0bn
Inventories were broadly stable → neutral CFO:
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −2.5bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 1.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 3.0 days, DSO fell 3.3 days, and DPO fell 2.0 days.

Working capital cycle is flat — components are offsetting each other.

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 is lengthening

CCC is up by +1.7 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +3.0 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Inventory 63.9 days +3.0 days

Cash Conversion Cycle 66.3 days +1.7 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 51.1bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Track net leverage, interest coverage, and the liquidity buffer on the balance sheet.

Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.

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 51.1bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 1.7bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +52.9bn. Financing cash flow was negative +42.0bn.

CFO / net income was 1.06x.

After spending +1.1bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +44.2bn.

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

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 2.9 pp. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 33.52% after expanding 2.9pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
