What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PTE is going through a period of clear decline across multiple metrics at once. More notably, profit is significantly supported by non-core sources and operating cash flow is not yet positive — the earnings quality picture needs close monitoring.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 11.4% = -22.4% × 0.52 × -0.99
2026Q1 10.4% = -24.8% × 0.50 × -0.84

ROE fell from 11.4% to 10.4% — net margin weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: -24.8% -2.3pp Asset turnover: 0.50x -0.01x Leverage: -0.84x +0.15x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin fell to -24.76%, losing 2.3pp. The main pressure comes from Gross margin fell 1.9pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 1.5pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.8pp).

The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.

Profitability trend

Net Margin -24.76% −2.3pp
Gross Margin -3.67% −1.9pp
SG&A / Revenue 9.36% +1.5pp
Non-core / Revenue -11.96% +0.8pp

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Financial result accounts for 48.3% of PBT and lifted net margin by 0.8pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency should be read in industry context — ROIC may fluctuate with business specifics.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.

Industry characteristics make ROIC cyclical — this is a reference signal and should be read with the business context.

Capital Turnover -1.32x +0.49x
Average Invested Capital 110.3bn −19.0bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at -1.79x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.65x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 4.9bn 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: −5.6bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +2.6bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −1.9bn

Working Capital Efficiency

The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 6.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 4.0 days, DSO fell 1.1 days, and DPO fell 3.0 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle is lengthening

CCC is up by +6.0 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +4.0 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Cash Conversion Cycle -111.4 days +6.0 days

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at -0.65x and interest coverage only at -2.09x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 89.7% of total debt, cash equals 0.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 239.9bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is -2.09x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 89.7% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Interest Coverage -2.09x −0.34x

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow reached -6.2bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 0.0bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +6.2bn. Financing cash flow was negative +0.1bn.

CFO / net income was -0.01x.

Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.

Cash capex or FCF data is incomplete, so the cash-conversion view is only partial.

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. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 2.3 pp.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 48.3% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -0.01x.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at -24.76% after a 2.3pp decline versus the same period last year.
