What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PXS is maintaining revenue growth, but margins have not improved proportionally — profit is at an all-time high. However, a significant portion of profit is supported by non-core sources, making the picture not entirely clear.

Drivers of PXS's profit

TTM

Net profit attributable to parent increased vs last year, mainly helped by higher gross profit. Supporting and offsetting drivers:

Gross profit ↑ 12.7bn
Financial income ↑ 1.1bn
Other profit ↓ 7.4bn
Administrative expenses ↑ 5.1bn
TTM

Net profit attributable to parent declined vs prior quarter, mainly due to higher administrative expenses. Supporting and offsetting drivers:

Gross profit ↑ 2.7bn
Financial income ↑ 0.3bn
Administrative expenses ↑ 1.6bn
Other profit ↓ 1.2bn
Finance costs ↑ 0.4bn

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 9.8% = 1.9% × 0.75 × 6.78
2026Q1 12.9% = 1.5% × 1.08 × 8.24

ROE rose from 9.8% to 12.9% — mainly driven by leverage, despite net margin moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 1.5% -0.5pp Asset turnover: 1.08x +0.33x Leverage: 8.24x +1.46x

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 narrowed to 1.45%, falling 0.5pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 1.3pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 1.3pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.3pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.9pp remained a drag).

The pressure comes from non-core items while core operations hold their rhythm — margin has a basis to recover once this factor passes.

Profitability trend

Net Margin 1.45% −0.5pp
Gross Margin 5.79% −1.3pp
SG&A / Revenue 3.70% −1.3pp
Non-core / Revenue -0.64% −0.6pp

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Watchpoints

Other income share remains high

Even though contribution decreased by 0.6pp, other income still accounts for 33.1% of PBT — earnings durability should be monitored in coming periods.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for construction contractors should be read alongside project progress and receivables collection from developers — ROIC fluctuates with handover cycles.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

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

For construction contractors, ROIC moves with backlog and project acceptance timing — this is a reference signal and should be read alongside working-capital cycles.

Balance Sheet

ROIC for construction contractors swings with project progress and handover cycles — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Leverage is well above the construction contractors norm — liquidity risk becomes material if project acceptance slips — liabilities at 9.75x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.58x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 202.6bn, roughly 20.6% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 48.1bn 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: −105.6bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −19.0bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +76.5bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 63.5 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 52.4 days, DSO fell 12.6 days, and DPO fell 128.5 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to shorter payment timing — may reflect pressure from suppliers.

For construction contractors, DSO/DIO/DPO/CCC can be distorted by project progress, work-in-progress receivables, and milestone acceptance timing — these metrics should be read alongside developer payment cycles.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle is lengthening

CCC is up by +63.5 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 59.7 days −12.6 days
Inventory 84.8 days −52.4 days
Payables 209.0 days −128.5 days
Cash Conversion Cycle -64.5 days +63.5 days

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.58x and interest coverage at 6.40x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 194.0% of debt, and total debt stands at 59.1bn.

Leverage for construction contractors fluctuates with project working capital, performance guarantees, and progress receivables — should be read alongside receivables quality and developer payment cycles.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity -0.58x −0.37x
Interest Coverage 6.40x +3.06x

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow reached -35.4bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -4.2bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +39.6bn. Financing cash flow was negative +0.1bn.

CFO / net income was 2.15x.

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

For construction contractors, FCF swings sharply with project progress and payment cycles — should be read alongside backlog and receivables quality.

Investment Takeaway

The business is heading the right way, but the current picture is still at partial confirmation — not yet a fully clean case. The positive points have clearly improved, showing the operating base is better than before. The brighter spot is balance-sheet flexibility, with net cash/equity at about -0.58x. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is -11.4%.

Improvement: the balance sheet remains flexible, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.58x of equity.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 2.15x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for -11.4% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
