What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PVG is maintaining revenue growth, but margins have not improved proportionally — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. More notably, profit relies heavily on non-core sources while operating cash flow is negative — these two factors together suggest earnings quality needs cautious evaluation.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 2.9% = 0.2% × 3.31 × 3.49
2026Q1 3.1% = 0.2% × 3.83 × 3.39

ROE is broadly flat at 3.1% — the components are offsetting one another.

Net margin: 0.2% -0.0pp Asset turnover: 3.83x +0.52x Leverage: 3.39x -0.10x

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 stands at 0.24%, 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.

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Margin support from financial result remains high (102.3% of PBT) — sustainability should be monitored.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for utilities should be read alongside regulated tariffs and long-cycle depreciation — ROIC of 4.0% reflects a large fixed-asset base.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC narrowed to 3.99%, falling 1.4pp. That translates to 3.99 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from capital turnover fell 4.65x — capital is being absorbed faster than revenue is being generated; while invested capital expanded strongly by 125bn.

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 3.99% −1.4pp
NOPAT Margin 0.24% −0.0pp
Capital Turnover 16.84x −4.65x

Balance Sheet

ROIC for utilities reflects a large fixed-asset base and regulated tariffs — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 2.02x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.13x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 397.2bn 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: −244.2bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +85.2bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −238.1bn

Working Capital Efficiency

The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 7.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 0.1 days, DSO fell 3.9 days, and DPO fell 11.5 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

Cash conversion cycle is lengthening

CCC is up by +7.7 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +0.1 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 34.0 days −3.9 days
Inventory 4.9 days +0.1 days
Payables 59.7 days −11.5 days
Cash Conversion Cycle -20.8 days +7.7 days

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.13x and interest coverage at 10.04x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 30.6% of total debt, cash equals 456.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 18.2bn.

Leverage for utilities reflects long-term capital needs for fixed assets and recovery through regulated pricing — elevated leverage is structural to the industry.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity -0.13x +0.21x
Interest Coverage 10.04x +1.44x
Cash / Debt 456.2% −342.6pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 30.6% +7.2pp
CFO / NI -23.93x −17.43x

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow reached -306.9bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 274.4bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +32.5bn. Financing cash flow was negative +5.6bn.

CFO / net income was -23.93x.

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

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 a few weaker signals, but the current magnitude is not yet clear enough to conclude that this is a broader weakening phase. The brighter spot is balance-sheet flexibility, with net cash/equity at about -0.13x. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated.

Improvement: the balance sheet remains flexible, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.13x of equity.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 100.4% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -23.93x.
