What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, POW has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — profit is at an all-time high. 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
ROE rose from 4.7% to 9.6% — all three components improved, with leverage contributing the most.
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 9.57%, rising 4.6pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 6.6pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 0.2pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with lingering pressure from Other profit / Revenue fell 1.3pp and Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.6pp).
The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.
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 6.3% reflects a large fixed-asset base.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 6.35%, rising 3.6pp. That translates to 6.35 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 5.8pp, with capital turnover fell 0.06x; while invested capital expanded strongly by 13,217bn.
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 balanced — liabilities at 1.38x equity, net debt at 0.61x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 3,535.8bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories. Part of that drag was offset by higher payables.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 40.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 2.2 days, DSO fell 8.8 days, and DPO fell 46.8 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 +40.2 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.
DIO increased by +2.2 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 2,222.9bn due to capex of 5,435.6bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage is balanced for now, with net debt / equity at 0.61x and interest coverage at 2.98x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 42.4% of total debt, cash equals 24.9% of debt, and total debt stands at 33,420.3bn.
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 24.9%, 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 2,094.2bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -12,739.0bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +10,644.8bn. Financing cash flow was positive +5,824.8bn.
CFO / net income was 1.05x.
After spending +5,435.6bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −2,222.9bn.
For utilities, high capex and long investment cycles are structural — short-term FCF volatility does not reflect long-term cash generation through regulated pricing.

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 4.6 pp. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 6.3%.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 9.57% after expanding 4.6pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
