What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PSN is maintaining revenue growth, but margins have not improved proportionally — margins have been compressing consistently over multiple periods. However, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this needs monitoring in coming periods.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 6.0% = 2.8% × 1.07 × 1.97
2026Q1 7.5% = 2.6% × 1.17 × 2.44

ROE rose from 6.0% to 7.5% — mainly driven by leverage, despite net margin moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 2.6% -0.2pp Asset turnover: 1.17x +0.10x Leverage: 2.44x +0.48x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin stands at 2.63%, 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.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC edged up to 6.39%, rising 0.8pp. That translates to 6.39 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is capital turnover rose 0.38x — the business is generating more revenue per unit of capital, with NOPAT margin steady; while invested capital rose by 91bn.

Capital efficiency improved through turnover — a positive sign for asset efficiency, but this momentum needs to hold as capital expands.

NOPAT Margin 2.69% −0.1pp
Capital Turnover 2.37x +0.38x
Average Invested Capital 664.2bn +91.0bn

Balance Sheet

Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 1.84x equity, net debt at 0.28x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 94.1bn 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

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −438.0bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −83.0bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +426.9bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 10.5 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 9.4 days, DSO fell 13.4 days, and DPO fell 12.4 days.

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

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 99.3 days −13.4 days
Inventory 20.8 days −9.4 days
Payables 60.0 days −12.4 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 60.1 days −10.5 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 122.6bn due to capex of 54.2bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.28x and interest coverage at 6.47x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 73.5% of total debt, cash equals 1.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 159.9bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 73.5% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 1.5%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Interest Coverage 6.47x −1.98x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 99.6bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -81.9bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +17.7bn. Financing cash flow was negative +0.7bn.

CFO / net income was -1.65x.

After spending +54.2bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −122.6bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 68.4bn −109.8bn
Cash Capex 54.2bn +52.2bn
FCF TTM −122.6bn −162.0bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing a brighter picture at the headline-earnings level, but what deserves a closer look right now is the quality of that improvement. Margins and net profit may look better, but if financial income, other income, or unusually low taxes contribute too much, this is not yet a clean enough growth base to extrapolate further. The main bright spot is earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at -1.65x. The residual risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 6.47x.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at -1.65x.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity remain a pressure point, with net debt / equity at 0.28x and a thin cash buffer.
