What Is Changing

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 19.6% = 47.9% × 0.33 × 1.23
2026Q1 30.1% = 56.4% × 0.52 × 1.02

ROE rose from 19.6% to 30.1% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 56.4% +8.5pp Asset turnover: 0.52x +0.19x Leverage: 1.02x -0.21x

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 56.39%, rising 8.5pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 16.0pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 2.2pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.1pp).

The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Is capital being used efficiently?

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

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

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

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. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.11x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.02x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 65.7bn 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: −76.8bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −1.8bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +12.8bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 117.1 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 4.9 days, DSO fell 118.4 days, and DPO rose 3.6 days.

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

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 remains stretched

CCC stands at 150.6 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +4.9 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 368.1bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Track net leverage, interest coverage, and the liquidity buffer on the balance sheet.

Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.

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

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 368.1bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -155.7bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +212.5bn. Financing cash flow was negative +186.0bn.

CFO / net income was 0.92x.

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 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 operating efficiency, with net margin improving 8.5 pp. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 56.39% after expanding 8.5pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
