What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SZL has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — profit is at an all-time high. Profit growth is driven mainly by better operations rather than scale expansion — a foundation that tends to be more durable.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 16.6% = 21.6% × 0.26 × 2.97
2026Q1 21.4% = 26.9% × 0.26 × 3.01

ROE rose from 16.6% to 21.4% — all three components improved, with net margin contributing the most.

Net margin: 26.9% +5.3pp Asset turnover: 0.26x +0.01x Leverage: 3.01x +0.03x

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 expanded to 26.94%, rising 5.3pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 5.2pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 1.0pp (with additional support from Other profit / Revenue rose 2.0pp and Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.4pp).

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

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency should be read in industry context — ROIC of 18.3% may fluctuate with business specifics.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 18.29%, rising 3.2pp. That translates to 18.29 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 3.6pp, with capital turnover broadly stable; with invested capital holding roughly steady.

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

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 18.29% +3.2pp
NOPAT Margin 26.67% +3.6pp
Capital Turnover 0.69x +0.03x
Average Invested Capital 794.1bn +34.2bn

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 1.97x equity, net debt at 0.16x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 215.4bn of cash, mainly thanks to higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables and higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −34.7bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −0.2bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +250.3bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 5.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 0.4 days, DSO rose 0.3 days, and DPO rose 5.1 days.

Extended payment timing is the main driver — consider whether this trades off supplier relationships.

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.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 107.8 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +0.3 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 17.2 days +0.3 days
Inventory 129.2 days −0.4 days
Payables 38.6 days +5.1 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 107.8 days −5.2 days

Is financial risk significant?

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

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.16x and interest coverage at 39.16x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 37.1% of total debt, cash equals 51.0% of debt, and total debt stands at 234.9bn.

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

Interest Coverage 39.16x −0.41x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 247.7bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -179.6bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +68.2bn. Financing cash flow was negative +81.8bn.

CFO / net income was 2.21x.

After spending +282.9bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +41.4bn.

FCF and CFO in this industry should be read alongside investment cycles and business model specifics.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 324.3bn +155.0bn
Cash Capex 282.9bn +154.0bn
FCF TTM +41.4bn +1.0bn

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 5.3 pp. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 18.3%.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 26.94% after expanding 5.3pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
