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
ROE rose from 2.5% to 11.6% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.
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.

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.

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
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.

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 debt / equity stands at 1.01x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Interest coverage is 1.46x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

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.

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.
