What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, CMS 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, a significant portion of profit is supported by non-core sources, making the picture not entirely clear.

Drivers of CMS's profit

TTM

Net profit attributable to parent increased vs last year, mainly helped by higher gross profit. Supporting and offsetting drivers:

Gross profit ↑ 21.0bn
Financial income ↑ 13.9bn
Other profit ↑ 6.7bn
Finance costs ↑ 11.1bn
Tax ↑ 4.7bn
Administrative expenses ↑ 2.5bn
TTM

Net profit attributable to parent increased vs prior quarter, mainly helped by lower finance costs. Supporting and offsetting drivers:

Finance costs ↓ 2.5bn
Gross profit ↑ 0.2bn
Administrative expenses ↓ 0.1bn
Other profit ↓ 2.4bn
Tax ↑ 0.1bn

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 2.5% = 2.9% × 0.44 × 2.01
2026Q1 10.1% = 8.5% × 0.55 × 2.18

ROE rose from 2.5% to 10.1% — all three components improved, with leverage contributing the most.

Net margin: 8.5% +5.6pp Asset turnover: 0.55x +0.11x Leverage: 2.18x +0.16x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins improved (+5.6pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 8.50%, rising 5.6pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 3.5pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 1.2pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 1.4pp).

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

Profitability trend

Net Margin 8.50% +5.6pp
Gross Margin 11.02% +3.5pp
SG&A / Revenue 4.65% −1.2pp
Non-core / Revenue 4.16% +2.0pp

Watchpoints

Other income is supporting margin

Other income accounts for 44.2% of PBT and lifted net margin by 2.0pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for construction contractors should be read alongside project progress and receivables collection from developers — ROIC of 3.2% fluctuates with handover cycles.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 3.17%, rising 3.3pp. That translates to 3.17 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 4.9pp and capital turnover rose 0.07x, while invested capital expanded strongly by 128bn — capital-return quality improved from both sides.

For construction contractors, ROIC moves with backlog and project acceptance timing — this is a reference signal and should be read alongside working-capital cycles.

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 1.08x equity, net debt at 0.57x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 68.4bn, roughly 10.7% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.0bn of cash.

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 90.9 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 59.6 days, DSO fell 48.4 days, and DPO fell 17.1 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 169.3 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 109.2 days −48.4 days
Inventory 114.6 days −59.6 days
Payables 54.5 days −17.1 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 169.3 days −90.9 days

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.57x and interest coverage only at 1.25x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 19.7% of total debt, cash equals 4.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 185.1bn.

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 1.25x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 4.3%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Net Debt / Equity 0.57x −0.43x
Interest Coverage 1.25x +1.35x
Cash / Debt 4.3% +4.1pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 19.7% +2.8pp
CFO / NI 0.14x +11.68x

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow reached -30.6bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 0.6bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +30.0bn. Financing cash flow was positive +33.5bn.

CFO / net income was 0.14x.

Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.

For construction contractors, FCF swings sharply with project progress and payment cycles — should be read alongside backlog and receivables quality.

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 5.6 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is -4.7%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 1.25x.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 8.50% after expanding 5.6pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for -4.7% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.14x.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 1.25x.
