What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PGV has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. Profit growth is driven mainly by better operations rather than scale expansion — a foundation that tends to be more durable.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 -1.0% = -0.3% × 0.74 × 3.80
2026Q1 26.1% = 10.0% × 0.80 × 3.24

ROE rose from -1.0% to 26.1% — mainly driven by net margin, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 10.0% +10.4pp Asset turnover: 0.80x +0.07x Leverage: 3.24x -0.56x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 10.03%, rising 10.4pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 8.7pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 0.1pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 2.8pp).

The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Gross Margin 16.58% +8.7pp
SG&A / Revenue 1.59% −0.1pp

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 10.0% reflects a large fixed-asset base.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 9.98%, rising 10.2pp. That translates to 9.98 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 10.3pp and capital turnover rose 0.10x, with invested capital easing slightly by 3,128bn — capital-return quality improved from both sides.

For utilities, ROIC reflects returns on a large fixed-asset base — this is a reference signal and should be read alongside regulated tariffs.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 9.98% +10.2pp
NOPAT Margin 10.06% +10.3pp
Capital Turnover 0.99x +0.10x
Average Invested Capital 43,652.7bn −3,127.6bn

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 2.07x equity, net debt at 1.30x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 6,981.3bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −7,054.5bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +772.6bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −699.4bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle improved by 0.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 0.9 days, DSO rose 4.8 days, and DPO rose 4.1 days.

Working capital cycle is flat — components are offsetting each other.

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

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +4.8 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 91.8 days +4.8 days
Inventory 28.0 days −0.9 days
Payables 68.4 days +4.1 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 51.4 days −0.2 days

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 1.30x and interest coverage only at 2.36x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 21.5% of total debt, cash equals 3.9% of debt, and total debt stands at 25,162.5bn.

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 leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 1.30x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 3.9%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 1.30x −0.73x
Interest Coverage 2.36x +2.39x
Cash / Debt 3.9% +3.0pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 21.5% +3.7pp
CFO / NI 0.64x +1.37x

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 2,841.6bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -577.9bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +2,263.7bn. Financing cash flow was negative +738.6bn.

CFO / net income was 0.64x.

After spending +925.6bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +1,848.6bn.

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

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 2,774.2bn +2,667.1bn
Cash Capex 925.6bn +359.4bn
FCF TTM +1,848.6bn +2,307.7bn

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 10.4 pp. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 10.0%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 2.36x.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 10.03% after expanding 10.4pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity remain a pressure point, with net debt / equity at 1.30x and a thin cash buffer.
