What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SJS is improving on both revenue and margins, suggesting current growth is backed by both scale and operating efficiency — profit is at an all-time high. 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 9.9% = 43.0% × 0.09 × 2.64
2026Q1 12.1% = 49.6% × 0.10 × 2.37

ROE rose from 9.9% to 12.1% — mainly driven by net margin, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

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 expanded to 49.62%, rising 6.6pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 5.0pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 2.0pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.2pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.9pp remained a drag).

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

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for residential developers should be read alongside project cycles and handover timing — ROIC of 9.8% fluctuates with handover cycles.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 9.79%, rising 2.3pp. That translates to 9.79 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 6.4pp, with capital turnover broadly stable; while invested capital rose by 281bn.

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

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 354.4bn due to capex of 4.7bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.31x and interest coverage at 133.72x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 28.7% of total debt, cash equals 4.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 1,170.0bn.

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

Watchpoints

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 4.2%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow reached -74.2bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 75.3bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +1.1bn. Financing cash flow was negative +21.0bn.

CFO / net income was -0.86x.

After spending +4.7bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −354.4bn.

For residential developers, FCF and CFO swing with project cycles — negative during investment phases and positive at handover — not representative of single-year efficiency.

Cash Capex 4.7bn −5.0bn

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 6.6 pp. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 9.8%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 133.72x.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 49.62% after expanding 6.6pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity remain a pressure point, with net debt / equity at 0.31x and a thin cash buffer.
