What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, NED is improving on both revenue and margins, suggesting current growth is backed by both scale and operating efficiency — profit is at an all-time high. The next test will be whether this pace holds as the comparison base gets tougher.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 4.4% to 8.0% — mainly driven by net margin, 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 expanded to 41.09%, rising 14.3pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 1.7pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.6pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 10.4pp).
Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.
Profitability trend

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. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.44x equity, net debt at 0.22x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 10.2bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and higher payables. Pressure from higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 26.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 2.2 days, DSO fell 12.4 days, and DPO fell 41.3 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to shorter payment timing — may reflect pressure from suppliers.
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
CCC is up by +26.7 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Is financial risk significant?
Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage is balanced for now, with net debt / equity at 0.22x and interest coverage at 3.83x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 25.2% of total debt, cash equals 16.8% of debt, and total debt stands at 136.8bn.
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 / debt stands at 16.8%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 43.9bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 59.7bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +103.5bn. Financing cash flow was negative +57.8bn.
CFO / net income was 1.59x.
Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.
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

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 14.3 pp. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 41.09% after expanding 14.3pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
