Analysis of business results & financial statements · Quý 2/2026

▲▲ Improving positively

Trailing net profit reached 14.0bn, rose 17.0bn compared with the same period last year. Key positives came from higher associates income and lower finance costs. Offsetting pressure came mainly from lower gross profit and higher minority interests. Detailed impact is shown below:

What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q2 basis, C21 posted a sharp profit increase versus the same period, suggesting a clear improvement from a low base — margins have just broken out to a notably higher level. The point still to be proven is whether this new profit level can hold once the low-base effect fades.

Sector note: developer revenue is recognised at handover — large quarter-to-quarter swings are normal; read on a trailing-12-month basis and against the delivery schedule.

A closer look at what is happening inside the business

A company's statements are read with the questions that fit its type of business.

01

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.

Revenue Growth

▼▼

Is growth real and durable?

Trailing-12-month revenue declined 15.8% year on year — but the quarterly pace is slowing (−4% → −9%).

0 of the last 3 quarters grew year on year.

What is driving the margin?

▲▲

Net margin expanded to 24.44%, rising 25.2pp. Despite pressure from Gross margin fell 5.2pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 4.4pp, the offset came from Net financial result / Revenue rose 12.7pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 0.1pp.

Margin improves from both core operations and non-core items — the core foundation is positive, but the sustainability of non-core contributions needs monitoring.

Developer revenue is recognised at handover — large swings between quarters are a property-sector feature, not a business trend. Read on a TTM basis and against the delivery schedule.

Cash Flow

●

Is profit converting into cash?

With leverage safe, cash flow shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 10.6bn against investing cash flow of 0.3bn (annual cash-flow figures for 2025).

Post-investment cash flow was positive +10.9bn. Financing cash flow was negative +1.4bn.

CFO / net income was 0,13 lần.

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.

Earnings Quality

▲

How much income is non-core?

About 97% of pre-tax profit comes from core operations.

Within that, net financial result at +2.4%, other profit at +0.4% of PBT.

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.

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 10.6bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at −0.04x and interest coverage at 14.41x.

At present, cash equals 1148.6% of debt and total debt stands at 3.5bn.

Balance Sheet

●

Capital structure is notably light for the real estate sector — liabilities at 0.14x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.04x equity.

Customer advances 0.2bn (as of 2026Q2) — deposits on units/projects not yet handed over: revenue already sold but not yet recognised, a lead indicator of profit in upcoming delivery quarters. Advances fell 26.55% without a matching rise in TTM revenue — sales pace to watch. Advances cover only 24.99% of current inventory — most of the pipeline is not yet pre-sold.

Customer advances: 0.2bn · YoY −0.1bn · QoQ −0.0bn

Locked-in revenue: ~0.01x quarters of revenue (TTM)

Inventory pre-sold: 24.99%

Project inventory splits in two at 2026Q2: 0.9bn near-delivery stock (short-term) and 3.1bn construction-in-progress (long-term). Weighted toward construction-in-progress — more investment is needed before revenue arrives.

Near-delivery (ST): 0.9bn (23.43%)

Construction-in-progress (LT): 3.1bn (76.57%)

For a developer the question is not debt-to-equity but whether borrowings are backed by the project pipeline. At 2026Q2, net debt 37.2bn vs project value 4.0bn — ratio −932.40%; the company is in a net-cash position.

Net debt / project value: −932.40%

None

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 18.0bn of cash, mainly because of higher inventories and lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower receivables.

Research synthesis

What this reporting period is showing

The business is showing brightening signals, but the improvement is still early and not yet thick enough to read as a confirmed trend. The brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 25.2 pp. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency.

  • Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 24.44% after expanding 25.2pp versus the same period last year.
  • Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.

Questions for the next period

  1. Whether revenue stabilizes after a −15,8% YoY decline or keeps falling.

  2. Whether margins hold around the current 24.44% level or narrow again.

  3. Whether operating cash flow holds its 10.6bn (cumulative for 2025) level in upcoming periods or weakens.
