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

▲▲ Improving positively

Trailing net profit reached 26.7bn, rose 7.2bn compared with the same period last year. Key positives came from higher gross profit and lower administrative expenses. Offsetting pressure came mainly from higher finance costs, higher tax, weaker other profit, and higher selling expenses. Detailed impact is shown below:

What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q2 basis, KOS is improving on both growth and profitability, painting a notably more positive picture versus the same period — profit is at an all-time high. When both scale and efficiency improve together, this is typically a sign of quality growth.

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 grew 15.1% year on year — but the quarterly pace is slowing (+15% → +7%).

4 of the last 4 quarters grew year on year.

What is driving the margin?

●

Net margin stands at 1.66%, broadly flat versus the same period. Supportive factors and pressure points are offsetting one another.

Margin is nearly flat but the underlying components are moving — this is a transitional phase, more time is needed to see the real trend.

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?

Operating cash flow reached -22.1bn against investing cash flow of -13.2bn (annual cash-flow figures for 2025).

Post-investment cash flow was negative +35.3bn. Financing cash flow was negative +5.0bn.

CFO / net income was 1,79 lần.

After spending +49.6bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −1.8bn.

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?

Non-core income makes up 26.4% of pre-tax profit — worth monitoring.

Within that, net financial result at −231.4%, other profit at +26.4% of PBT.

02

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for residential developers should be read alongside project cycles and handover timing — ROIC of 0.8% fluctuates with handover cycles.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

●

ROIC stands at 0.78%, broadly flat versus the same period. That translates to 0.78 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. NOPAT margin rose 0.4pp, but capital turnover broadly stable, with invested capital holding roughly steady — the two factors are offsetting each other, keeping overall ROIC nearly unchanged.

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

DuPont

What drives ROE?

Net margin 1.7% +0.3pp
Asset turnover 0.33x +0.03x
Financial leverage 2.11x +0.06x
ROE 1.1% +0.3pp

ROE is broadly flat at 1.1% — the components are offsetting one another.

03

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 1.8bn due to capex of 49.6bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

▼

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.84x and interest coverage only at 0.50x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 44.0% of total debt, cash equals 0.6% of debt, and total debt stands at 1,997.7bn.

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

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.50x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 0.6%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Balance Sheet

▼

ROIC for residential developers swings with project cycles and handover timing. Capital structure is relatively light for the real estate sector — liabilities at 1.08x equity, net debt at 0.84x equity.

Customer advances 31.3bn (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 19.41% while TTM revenue rose — a sign of recent handover (advances converting into revenue), positive rather than a sales slowdown. Advances cover only 1.13% of current inventory — most of the pipeline is not yet pre-sold.

Customer advances: 31.3bn · YoY −7.5bn · QoQ −55.7bn

Locked-in revenue: ~0.08x quarters of revenue (TTM)

Inventory pre-sold: 1.13%

Project inventory splits in two at 2026Q2: 2,778.5bn near-delivery stock (short-term) and 47.2bn construction-in-progress (long-term). Weighted toward near-delivery — the revenue-recognition cycle is approaching.

Near-delivery (ST): 2,778.5bn (98.33%)

Construction-in-progress (LT): 47.2bn (1.67%)

For a developer the question is not debt-to-equity but whether borrowings are backed by the project pipeline. At 2026Q2, net debt 1,985.1bn vs project value 2,825.7bn — ratio 70.25%; the project pipeline backs net debt 1.42x over.

Net debt / project value: 70.25%

Development inventory ended the period at 2,582.6bn, about 53.1% of total assets — reflecting projects in progress awaiting handover.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 80.4bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories. Part of that drag was offset by higher payables.

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 next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 26.4%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 0.50x.

  • Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 1.79x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 26.4% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
  • Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 0.50x.

Questions for the next period

  1. Whether revenue sustains its +15,1% YoY pace or begins to slow.

  2. Whether margins hold around the current 1.66% level or narrow again.

  3. Whether operating cash flow holds its -22.1bn (cumulative for 2025) level in upcoming periods or weakens.
