Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 18.5% = 10.1% × 1.24 × 1.47
2026Q1 19.8% = 10.8% × 1.24 × 1.47

ROE rose from 18.5% to 19.8% — mainly driven by net margin, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 10.8% +0.7pp Asset turnover: 1.24x +0.00x Leverage: 1.47x -0.00x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin edged up to 10.85%, rising 0.7pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 1.3pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 0.4pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.2pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 1.4pp remained a drag).

Margin improves from both core operations and non-core items — the core foundation is positive, but the sustainability of non-core contributions needs monitoring.

Profitability trend

Net Margin 10.85% +0.7pp
Gross Margin 21.34% +1.3pp
SG&A / Revenue 8.74% −0.4pp

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for construction contractors should be read alongside project progress and receivables collection from developers — ROIC of 21.1% fluctuates with handover cycles.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC edged up to 21.06%, rising 0.4pp. That translates to 21.06 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. NOPAT margin rose 0.5pp was enough to offset the decline from capital turnover fell 0.07x, while invested capital rose by 81bn.

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

ROIC 21.06% +0.4pp
NOPAT Margin 10.16% +0.5pp
Capital Turnover 2.07x −0.07x
Average Invested Capital 706.7bn +81.2bn

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 0.64x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.05x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 109.7bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −85.2bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −13.5bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −11.0bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 10.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 8.9 days, DSO fell 3.8 days, and DPO fell 2.4 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.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 25.9 days −3.8 days
Inventory 42.1 days −8.9 days
Payables 19.5 days −2.4 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 48.4 days −10.2 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 80.9bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.05x and interest coverage at 26.78x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 89.8% of total debt, cash equals 136.4% of debt, and total debt stands at 117.6bn.

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 refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 89.8% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity -0.05x +0.15x
Interest Coverage 26.78x −6.45x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 80.9bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -92.8bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +11.9bn. Financing cash flow was positive +50.4bn.

CFO / net income was 1.25x.

After spending +180.7bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −48.1bn.

For construction contractors, FCF swings sharply with project progress and payment cycles — should be read alongside backlog and receivables quality.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 132.6bn −50.5bn
Cash Capex 180.7bn −15.6bn
FCF TTM −48.1bn −34.9bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing brightening signals, but the improvement is still early and not yet thick enough to read as a confirmed trend. The brighter spot is earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 1.25x. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 21.1%.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.25x.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
