What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PHC is improving on both growth and profitability, painting a notably more positive picture versus the same period — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. However, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this needs monitoring in coming periods.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 0.8% = 0.3% × 0.53 × 4.52
2026Q1 3.7% = 1.6% × 0.46 × 5.18

ROE rose from 0.8% to 3.7% — mainly driven by leverage, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 1.6% +1.2pp Asset turnover: 0.46x -0.07x Leverage: 5.18x +0.66x

Is the profit sustainable?

Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin edged up to 1.56%, rising 1.2pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 2.0pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.4pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.5pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 1.1pp remained a drag).

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

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for construction contractors should be read alongside project progress and receivables collection from developers — ROIC of 1.0% fluctuates with handover cycles.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC edged up to 1.01%, rising 0.7pp. That translates to 1.01 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 0.9pp, with capital turnover broadly stable; with invested capital easing up by 82bn.

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 1.01% +0.7pp
NOPAT Margin 1.26% +0.9pp
Capital Turnover 0.80x −0.02x
Average Invested Capital 2,018.4bn +81.6bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC for construction contractors swings with project progress and handover cycles — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Leverage runs above the construction contractors average — project acceptance cycles warrant monitoring — liabilities at 4.44x equity, net debt at 2.04x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 859.1bn, roughly 23.1% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 99.9bn 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

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −152.1bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −529.8bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +582.0bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 33.9 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 70.6 days, DSO fell 23.3 days, and DPO rose 13.4 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

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 306.3 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +70.6 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 230.6 days −23.3 days
Inventory 234.3 days +70.6 days
Payables 158.6 days +13.4 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 306.3 days +33.9 days

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 2.04x and interest coverage only at 0.42x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 93.7% of total debt, cash equals 9.6% of debt, and total debt stands at 1,552.2bn.

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 leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 2.04x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.42x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Net Debt / Equity 2.04x +0.11x
Interest Coverage 0.42x −0.00x
Cash / Debt 9.6% +6.7pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 93.7% +2.4pp
CFO / NI -4.00x +0.39x

Cash Flow

Leverage needs watching — cash flow below shows the ability to service debt from operations. Operating cash flow reached 27.7bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -53.6bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +25.9bn. Financing cash flow was positive +2.3bn.

CFO / net income was -4.00x.

After spending +41.0bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −137.5bn.

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 96.6bn −66.5bn
Cash Capex 41.0bn +35.5bn
FCF TTM −137.5bn −102.0bn

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 operating efficiency, with net margin improving 1.2 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 19.1%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 0.42x.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 1.56% after expanding 1.2pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 19.1% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -4.00x.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 0.42x.
