The current picture
What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q2 basis, EIC posted a very sharp profit drop versus the same period, showing that pressure has clearly fed through to the bottom line. More notably, profit relies heavily on non-core sources while operating cash flow is negative — these two factors together suggest earnings quality needs cautious evaluation.

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.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.
Revenue Growth
▲Is growth real and durable?
Trailing-12-month revenue grew 8.2% year on year — but the quarterly pace is slowing (−53% → −66%).
1 of the last 4 quarters grew year on year.

- 11bn +8.2%
- Latest quarter YoY
- −66% slowing
What is driving the margin?
▼▼Net margin fell to 293.52%, losing 432.6pp. The main pressure comes from SG&A / Revenue rose 34.2pp and Gross margin fell 3.1pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 19.7pp).
The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.
- Net Margin
- 293.52% −432.6pp
- Gross Margin
- 15.37% −3.1pp
- SG&A / Revenue
- 149.17% +34.2pp
- Non-core / Revenue
- 802.92% −19.7pp
TTM YoY · 2025Q2 -> 2026Q2
Even though contribution decreased by 19.7pp, financial result still accounts for 314.9% of PBT — earnings durability should be monitored in coming periods.
Cash Flow
●Is profit converting into cash?
Operating cash flow reached -12.2bn against investing cash flow of 40.0bn (annual cash-flow figures for 2025).
Post-investment cash flow was positive +27.8bn. Financing cash flow was negative +22.5bn.
CFO / net income was −0,58 lần.
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.
Earnings Quality
▼How much income is non-core?
Non-core income reaches 314.9% of pre-tax profit — core earnings are thinner than the headline.
Within that, net financial result at +314.9% of PBT.
- Non-core / PBT
- 314.9% high
- Net financial / PBT
- 314.9%
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.
Working Capital Efficiency
▼Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 28.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 1.3 days, DSO rose 21.3 days, and DPO fell 6.1 days.
All 3 drivers are deteriorating — working capital is becoming more deeply tied up in the operating cycle.
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.
CCC stands at 381.6 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.
DSO increased by +21.3 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.
DuPont
What drives ROE?
ROE fell from 17.1% to 7.4% — net margin weakened the most, though asset turnover and leverage still provided support.
Is financial risk significant?
Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.
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 construction contractors fluctuates with project working capital, performance guarantees, and progress receivables — should be read alongside receivables quality and developer payment cycles.

TTM YoY · 2025Q2 -> 2026Q2
Balance Sheet
●Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.04x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.04x equity.
Owner advances stand at 1.7bn (as of 2026Q2) — the contractor is funded along the contract schedule, easing the pressure to self-finance working capital. Down 51.13% YoY — settlement of billed work or fewer newly funded contracts; read together with receivables.
Owner advances: 1.7bn · YoY −1.7bn
Advances / receivables: 37.45% — funded vs stuck
The contractor's survival axis: site receivables 4.4bn vs equity 421.1bn — 1.06% of the capital base is sitting on job sites.
Receivables / equity: 1.06% · receivables YoY −3.45% · equity YoY −2.05%
DSO: 152 days
Sector note: contractor gross margins are THIN (15.37% TTM) by design — value lives in contract turnover and collection discipline, not margin. Do not compare with manufacturers.
None
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 2.0bn of cash, mainly because of higher inventories and lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower receivables.
In summary
Research synthesis
What this reporting period is showing
The business is under real pressure, but the current picture has not turned broadly adverse. A notable area has clearly weakened, making the near-term outlook hard to call bright; even so, other parts of the business are still holding up, with margins remain under pressure remaining the main constraint, with net margin down 432.6 pp. The next watchpoint is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 314.9%. The main offsetting support comes from balance-sheet flexibility, with net cash/equity at about −0.04x.
- Improvement: the balance sheet remains flexible, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.04x of equity.
- Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 314.9% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at −0.58x.
- Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 293.52% after a 432.6pp decline versus the same period last year.
What to verify next
Questions for the next period
Whether revenue sustains its +8,2% YoY pace or begins to slow.
Whether margins hold around the current 293.52% level or narrow again.
Whether operating cash flow holds its -12.2bn (cumulative for 2025) level in upcoming periods or weakens.
