What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PAP is improving on both revenue and margins, though the magnitude is still moderate — profit is at an all-time high. However, a significant portion of profit is supported by non-core sources, making the picture not entirely clear.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 -6.3% = -1152.8% × 0.00 × 2.79
2026Q1 -17.2% = -210.4% × 0.02 × 3.64

ROE edged down from -6.3% to -17.2% — the components are broadly offsetting.

Net margin: -210.4% +942.4pp Asset turnover: 0.02x +0.02x Leverage: 3.64x +0.85x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins improved (+942.4pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to -210.45%, rising 942.4pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 518.3pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 88.7pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 337.7pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 2.5pp remained a drag).

Margin improves from both core operations and non-core items — the core foundation is positive, but the sustainability of non-core contributions needs monitoring.

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Financial result accounts for 51.0% of PBT and lifted net margin by 335.3pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency should be read in industry context — ROIC may fluctuate with business specifics.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.

Industry characteristics make ROIC cyclical — this is a reference signal and should be read with the business context.

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Leverage is very high, with clear pressure on the capital structure — liabilities at 4.74x equity, net debt at 1.73x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.0bn of cash.

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 40.6 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 0.7 days, DSO fell 32.8 days, and DPO rose 8.5 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.

Watchpoints

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +0.7 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.73x and interest coverage only at -1.72x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 4.7% of total debt, cash equals 12.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 6,949.8bn.

Watchpoints

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 1.73x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is -1.72x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Interest Coverage -1.72x +0.23x

CFO / NI 3.60x +2.47x

Cash Flow

Leverage needs watching — cash flow below shows the ability to service debt from operations. Operating cash flow reached 849.3bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -2,826.2bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +1,976.9bn. Financing cash flow was positive +2,313.2bn.

CFO / net income was 3.60x.

After spending +2,650.7bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −4,470.3bn.

Cash Conversion

Cash Capex 2,650.7bn +2,597.6bn
FCF TTM −4,470.3bn −4,259.8bn

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 leverage and liquidity remaining the main constraint, with interest coverage at -1.72x. The next watchpoint is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 50.6%. The main offsetting support comes from operating efficiency, with net margin improving 942.4 pp.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at -210.45% after expanding 942.4pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 3.60x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 50.6% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at -1.72x.
