What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 38.15%, rising 9.0pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 9.4pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 1.3pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.6pp).

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency should be read in industry context — ROIC of 32.2% may fluctuate with business specifics.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 32.24%, rising 6.1pp. That translates to 32.24 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 9.0pp, with capital turnover fell 0.05x; while invested capital expanded strongly by 177bn.

Industry characteristics make ROIC cyclical — this is a reference signal and should be read with the business context.

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is relatively light for the real estate sector — liabilities at 1.38x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.09x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 76.6bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower inventories and higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −42.4bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +5.6bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +113.3bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 6.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 4.3 days, DSO fell 0.3 days, and DPO rose 2.1 days.

All 3 drivers (collection, inventory, payables) are improving — working capital turnover is strengthening across the board.

Working capital metrics in this industry should be read alongside business model specifics — DSO/DIO/DPO/CCC can be distorted by operational factors not reflected in raw numbers.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 16.5% of total debt, cash equals 137.1% of debt, and total debt stands at 196.3bn.

Leverage should be read alongside project structure, regulated assets, or industry-specific capital recovery.

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 9.0 pp. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 32.2%.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 38.15% after expanding 9.0pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
