What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, DC4 is maintaining revenue growth, but margins have not improved proportionally — profit is at an all-time high. What is still missing is the ability to convert top-line growth into better profitability.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE fell from 17.9% to 15.3% — leverage weakened the most, though asset turnover still provided support.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin narrowed to 12.03%, falling 0.7pp. The main pressure is SG&A / Revenue rose 8.1pp, outweighing the improvement in Gross margin rose 5.0pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 2.8pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.4pp remained a drag).
Margin is under pressure from multiple sides — temporary and structural components need to be separated to properly assess the risk.
Profitability trend

Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency for construction contractors should be read alongside project progress and receivables collection from developers — ROIC of 13.9% fluctuates with handover cycles.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC edged up to 13.86%, rising 1.2pp. That translates to 13.86 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is capital turnover rose 0.13x — the business is generating more revenue per unit of capital, with NOPAT margin narrowed 0.4pp; while invested capital rose by 95bn.
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. Capital structure is notably light for construction contractors — liabilities at 0.96x equity, net debt at 0.06x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 323.2bn, roughly 13.1% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 332.4bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables. Pressure from higher inventories and lower payables only partly offset that benefit.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 119.3 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 140.9 days, DSO rose 6.3 days, and DPO fell 15.4 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.
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
CCC stands at 193.2 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.
DSO increased by +6.3 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.06x and interest coverage at 16.38x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 192.0% of debt, and total debt stands at 90.3bn.
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 debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 593.1bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -411.6bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +181.4bn. Financing cash flow was negative +146.8bn.
CFO / net income was 3.46x.
After spending +13.0bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +628.1bn.
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 earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 3.46x. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 13.9%.
Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 3.46x.
Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
