What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, BCE is showing a few mildly positive signals versus the same period, though the magnitude is narrow — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. Notably, 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 14.5% = 20.5% × 0.40 × 1.76
2026Q1 20.4% = 9.1% × 0.52 × 4.32

ROE rose from 14.5% to 20.4% — mainly driven by leverage, despite net margin moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 9.1% -11.4pp Asset turnover: 0.52x +0.11x Leverage: 4.32x +2.56x

Is the profit sustainable?

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

What is driving the margin?

Net margin fell to 9.13%, losing 11.4pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 17.4pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 7.4pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.1pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.4pp remained a drag).

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

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for residential developers should be read alongside project cycles and handover timing — ROIC fluctuates with handover cycles.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

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

For real estate developers, ROIC moves with project cycles — this is a reference signal, and the real assessment needs upcoming handover periods.

Balance Sheet

ROIC for residential developers swings with project cycles and handover timing — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Leverage runs above the real estate sector average — handover cycles warrant monitoring — liabilities at 4.40x equity, net debt at 1.97x equity.

Development inventory ended the period at 1,488.5bn, about 58.0% of total assets — reflecting projects in progress awaiting handover.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 930.5bn of cash, mainly because of higher inventories. Part of that drag was offset by lower receivables and higher payables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +6.5bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −2,281.3bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +1,344.3bn

Is financial risk significant?

High leverage combined with negative operating cash flow — this area needs close monitoring.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.97x and interest coverage only at 6.01x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 17.0% of total debt, cash equals 4.7% of debt, and total debt stands at 936.8bn.

Leverage for residential developers should be read alongside project cycles, development inventory, and handover timing.

Watchpoints

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 1.97x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 4.7%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 1.97x +1.92x
Interest Coverage 6.01x −8.77x
Cash / Debt 4.7% −44.0pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 17.0% −83.0pp
CFO / NI -9.56x −10.45x

Cash Flow

High leverage combined with cash flow below reveals the actual liquidity pressure. Operating cash flow reached -294.8bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 3.8bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +291.0bn. Financing cash flow was positive +522.3bn.

CFO / net income was -9.56x.

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

For residential developers, FCF and CFO swing with project cycles — negative during investment phases and positive at handover — not representative of single-year efficiency.

Investment Takeaway

The business is balanced but not yet fully stable — some components are moving the right way while others still need monitoring. This is a state to keep watching, with not enough signal to tilt the thesis either way. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 11.4 pp.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 9.13% after a 11.4pp decline versus the same period last year.
