What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PGC is maintaining revenue, but margins are compressing slightly — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. What remains unclear is whether this is a short-term fluctuation or costs are starting to outpace revenue.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE is broadly flat at 12.7% — the components are offsetting one another.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin stands at 2.41%, broadly flat versus the same period. Supportive factors and pressure points are offsetting one another.
Margin is nearly flat but the underlying components are moving — this is a transitional phase, more time is needed to see the real trend.
Profitability trend
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 narrowed to 4.57%, falling 0.5pp. That translates to 4.57 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from NOPAT margin narrowed 0.2pp, outweighing the movement in capital turnover; while invested capital rose by 173bn.
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 2.56x equity, net debt at 1.67x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 142.9bn of cash, mainly thanks to higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables and higher inventories 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 7.5 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 3.2 days, DSO rose 0.6 days, and DPO rose 11.2 days.
Extended payment timing is the main driver — consider whether this trades off supplier relationships.
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
DSO increased by +0.6 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.
DIO increased by +3.2 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 1.67x and interest coverage only at 1.92x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 5.4% of debt, and total debt stands at 1,605.6bn.
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 1.67x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Interest coverage is 1.92x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Leverage and liquidity trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Cash Flow
Leverage needs watching — cash flow below shows the ability to service debt from operations. Operating cash flow reached 207.9bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -84.9bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +123.0bn. Financing cash flow was negative +144.8bn.
CFO / net income was 0.47x.
After spending +55.9bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −3.4bn.
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 a few weaker signals, but the current magnitude is not yet clear enough to conclude that this is a broader weakening phase. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 22.2%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 1.92x.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 22.2% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.47x.
Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 1.92x.
