What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, HUT is growing strongly on the back of scale expansion, while margins have only improved slightly — margins have been expanding consistently over multiple periods. However, profit is significantly supported by non-core sources and operating cash flow is not yet positive — the improvement signal needs more time to confirm.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 2.5% to 4.5% — mainly driven by leverage, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin edged up to 1.63%, rising 0.7pp. The main driver is SG&A / Revenue fell 0.5pp and Gross margin rose 0.1pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 1.0pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.9pp remained a drag).
The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Watchpoints
Margin support from other income remains high (54.7% of PBT) — sustainability should be monitored.
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency for construction contractors should be read alongside project progress and receivables collection from developers — ROIC of 1.1% fluctuates with handover cycles.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC narrowed to 1.06%, falling 0.3pp. That translates to 1.06 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from capital turnover fell 0.24x — capital is being absorbed faster than revenue is being generated; while invested capital expanded strongly by 9,078bn.
For construction contractors, ROIC moves with backlog and project acceptance timing — this is a reference signal and should be read alongside working-capital cycles.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Balance Sheet
ROIC for construction contractors swings with project progress and handover cycles — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is relatively light for construction contractors — liabilities at 1.91x equity, net debt at 1.00x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 5,935.9bn, roughly 11.4% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 918.5bn 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
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 14.1 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 8.8 days, DSO rose 8.3 days, and DPO rose 3.1 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.
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 is up by +14.1 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.
DSO increased by +8.3 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?
Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 2,578.4bn due to capex of 2,106.6bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.00x and interest coverage only at 0.28x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 43.3% of total debt, cash equals 18.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 22,332.3bn.
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
Net debt / equity stands at 1.00x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Interest coverage is 0.28x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Leverage and liquidity trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Cash Flow
High leverage combined with cash flow below reveals the actual liquidity pressure. Operating cash flow reached -453.7bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -2,712.0bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +3,165.7bn. Financing cash flow was positive +5,132.7bn.
CFO / net income was -1.07x.
After spending +2,106.6bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −2,578.4bn.
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 next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is -8.3%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 0.28x.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for -8.3% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -1.07x.
Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 0.28x.
