What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PCT is holding revenue at an acceptable level, but margins are eroding visibly — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. What is still missing is better cost control to prevent margin pressure from spreading to the overall profit result.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE fell from 13.8% to 8.6% — asset turnover weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin fell to 8.22%, losing 5.6pp. The main pressure comes from Gross margin fell 5.3pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 1.1pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.5pp).
The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency is declining — check whether the drag is from margins or turnover.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC fell to 2.60%, losing 2.6pp. That translates to 2.60 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin narrowed 5.7pp and capital turnover fell 0.05x, while invested capital expanded strongly by 595bn — pressure came from both operational efficiency and asset efficiency.
Pressure came from the margin side — core operations are weakening, not just a temporary asset-management issue.
Watchpoints
ROIC is currently 2.60% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

Balance Sheet
ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Leverage is very high, with clear pressure on the capital structure — liabilities at 3.28x equity, net debt at 2.20x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.0bn of cash.
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 19.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 0.6 days, DSO fell 11.1 days, and DPO rose 8.7 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.
Watchpoints
DIO increased by +0.6 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 2.20x and interest coverage only at 0.69x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 17.5% of total debt, cash equals 16.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 1,924.8bn.
Watchpoints
Net debt / equity stands at 2.20x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Interest coverage is 0.69x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Leverage and liquidity trend

Cash Flow
Leverage needs watching — cash flow below shows the ability to service debt from operations. Operating cash flow reached 590.2bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -1,426.0bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +835.8bn. Financing cash flow was positive +823.6bn.
CFO / net income was 10.50x.
After spending +981.7bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −347.2bn.
Cash Conversion

Investment Takeaway
The business is showing a few weaker signals, but the current magnitude is not yet clear enough to conclude that this is a broader weakening phase. The brighter spot is earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 10.50x. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 5.6 pp.
Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 10.50x.
Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 8.22% after a 5.6pp decline versus the same period last year.
