What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SD9 is maintaining revenue growth, but margins have not improved proportionally — profit is at an all-time high. What is still missing is the ability to convert top-line growth into better profitability.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 5.0% = 11.1% × 0.22 × 2.07
2026Q1 6.2% = 10.3% × 0.31 × 1.92

ROE rose from 5.0% to 6.2% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite net margin and leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 10.3% -0.7pp Asset turnover: 0.31x +0.10x Leverage: 1.92x -0.15x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin narrowed to 10.34%, falling 0.7pp. The main pressure comes from Gross margin fell 9.2pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 0.6pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 5.5pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 2.8pp).

Margin is under pressure from multiple sides — temporary and structural components need to be separated to properly assess the risk.

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 3.7% fluctuates with handover cycles.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC stands at 3.66%, broadly flat versus the same period. That translates to 3.66 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. NOPAT margin narrowed 3.0pp, but capital turnover rose 0.11x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — the two factors are offsetting each other, keeping overall ROIC nearly unchanged.

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 3.66% +0.2pp
NOPAT Margin 9.39% −3.0pp
Capital Turnover 0.39x +0.11x
Average Invested Capital 1,335.3bn −38.5bn

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 1.20x equity, net debt at 0.49x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 242.9bn, roughly 14.5% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 40.1bn of cash, mainly thanks to higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −8.8bn
Inventories were broadly stable → neutral CFO:
Payables increased → higher CFO: +48.9bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 196.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 160.4 days, DSO fell 99.3 days, and DPO fell 63.7 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.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 361.9 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 158.9 days −99.3 days
Inventory 253.9 days −160.4 days
Payables 50.9 days −63.7 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 361.9 days −196.0 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.49x and interest coverage only at 1.33x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 32.4% of total debt, cash equals 17.8% of debt, and total debt stands at 520.0bn.

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

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 1.33x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 17.8%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.49x −0.11x
Interest Coverage 1.33x +0.21x
Cash / Debt 17.8% +6.5pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 32.4% +8.5pp
CFO / NI 4.65x −1.85x

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 165.0bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -2.8bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +162.2bn. Financing cash flow was negative +112.3bn.

CFO / net income was 4.65x.

After spending +46.4bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +105.6bn.

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 151.9bn −10.5bn
Cash Capex 46.4bn +29.7bn
FCF TTM +105.6bn −40.2bn

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 earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 4.65x. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 3.7%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 1.33x.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 4.65x.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 1.33x.
