What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, CSC is improving on both revenue and margins, suggesting current growth is backed by both scale and operating efficiency — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. The next test will be whether this pace holds as the comparison base gets tougher.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 3.7% to 8.9% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin expanded to 9.04%, rising 3.9pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 3.9pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 0.9pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 1.5pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 1.1pp remained a drag).
The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency for residential developers should be read alongside project cycles and handover timing — ROIC of 6.8% fluctuates with handover cycles.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 6.80%, rising 3.5pp. That translates to 6.80 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 2.8pp and capital turnover rose 0.23x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — capital-return quality improved from both sides.
For real estate developers, ROIC moves with project cycles — this is a reference signal, and the real assessment needs upcoming handover periods.

Balance Sheet
ROIC for residential developers swings with project cycles and handover timing — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is relatively light for the real estate sector — liabilities at 1.29x equity, net debt at 0.21x equity.
Development inventory ended the period at 1,386.0bn, about 64.9% of total assets — reflecting projects in progress awaiting handover.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 69.4bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower inventories. Pressure from lower payables only partly offset that benefit.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage is balanced for now, with net debt / equity at 0.21x and interest coverage at 3.36x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 29.2% of total debt, cash equals 60.9% of debt, and total debt stands at 505.2bn.
Leverage for residential developers should be read alongside project cycles, development inventory, and handover timing.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 164.3bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 16.5bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +180.8bn. Financing cash flow was positive +35.8bn.
CFO / net income was 2.78x.
After spending +5.1bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +129.2bn.
For residential developers, FCF and CFO swing with project cycles — negative during investment phases and positive at handover — not representative of single-year efficiency.

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 3.9 pp. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 6.8%.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 9.04% after expanding 3.9pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
