What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, LDG is improving on both revenue and margins, suggesting current growth is backed by both scale and operating efficiency — this marks a reversal from the difficult phase before. However, a significant portion of profit is supported by non-core sources, making the picture not entirely clear.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 -28.3% = -1585.8% × 0.01 × 3.51
2026Q1 11.6% = 46.2% × 0.04 × 5.66

ROE rose from -28.3% to 11.6% — all three components improved, with net margin contributing the most.

Net margin: 46.2% +1632.0pp Asset turnover: 0.04x +0.04x Leverage: 5.66x +2.15x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins improved (+1632.0pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 46.19%, rising 1632.0pp. The main driver is SG&A / Revenue fell 996.4pp and Gross margin rose 250.5pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 460.5pp).

The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Watchpoints

Other income is supporting margin

Other income accounts for 47.1% of PBT and lifted net margin by 528.1pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.

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.

Balance Sheet

ROIC for residential developers swings with project cycles and handover timing — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Leverage is well above the real estate sector norm — liquidity risk becomes material if handover slips — liabilities at 5.17x equity, net debt at 0.61x equity.

Development inventory ended the period at 865.5bn, about 10.8% of total assets — reflecting projects in progress awaiting handover.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 61.2bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables. Part of that drag was offset by lower inventories and higher payables.

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −2,030.3bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +7.3bn

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.61x and interest coverage only at 1.16x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 0.7% of debt, and total debt stands at 734.3bn.

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

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 1.16x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Net Debt / Equity 0.61x −0.12x
Interest Coverage 1.16x +4.70x
Cash / Debt 0.7% +0.3pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 100.0% 0.0pp
CFO / NI 0.97x +1.45x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 1,908.0bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 0.0bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +1,908.0bn. Financing cash flow was negative +296.6bn.

CFO / net income was 0.97x.

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.

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 operating efficiency, with net margin improving 1632.0 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is -30.5%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 1.16x.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 46.19% after expanding 1632.0pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for -30.5% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.97x.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 1.16x.
