What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, KHP is improving on both growth and profitability, painting a notably more positive picture versus the same period — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. When both scale and efficiency improve together, this is typically a sign of quality growth.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 2.5% = 0.2% × 3.19 × 3.32
2026Q1 11.6% = 1.0% × 3.59 × 3.23

ROE rose from 2.5% to 11.6% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 1.0% +0.8pp Asset turnover: 3.59x +0.40x Leverage: 3.23x -0.09x

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 1.00%, rising 0.8pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 0.8pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.1pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.1pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.1pp remained a drag).

The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for utilities should be read alongside regulated tariffs and long-cycle depreciation — ROIC of 4.6% reflects a large fixed-asset base.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC currently stands at 4.59%. Track NOPAT margin and capital turnover to assess capital efficiency.

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 4.59%
NOPAT Margin 0.84%
Capital Turnover 5.47x +0.67x
Average Invested Capital 1,460.0bn −31.0bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC for utilities reflects a large fixed-asset base and regulated tariffs — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Leverage is elevated, requiring monitoring — liabilities at 2.10x equity, net debt at 1.01x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 50.1bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower inventories and higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −103.5bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +6.5bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +147.0bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 3.1 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 0.7 days, DSO fell 1.0 days, and DPO rose 1.5 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 24.2 days −1.0 days
Inventory 1.7 days −0.7 days
Payables 23.2 days +1.5 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 2.7 days −3.1 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.01x and interest coverage only at 1.46x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 15.1% of total debt, cash equals 1.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 718.7bn.

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

Watchpoints

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 1.01x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 1.46x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 1.01x −0.23x
Interest Coverage 1.46x +1.29x
Cash / Debt 1.3% −0.4pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 15.1% −10.0pp
CFO / NI 4.09x −7.63x

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 240.4bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -197.9bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +42.5bn. Financing cash flow was negative +146.1bn.

CFO / net income was 4.09x.

After spending +214.6bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +111.3bn.

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 326.0bn +124.6bn
Cash Capex 214.6bn +67.9bn
FCF TTM +111.3bn +56.7bn

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 next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 15.9%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 1.46x.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 4.09x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 15.9% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 1.46x.
