What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, CTI 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. 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 8.7% to 11.3% — 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 edged up to 12.68%, rising 1.2pp. Core operating signals are improving as SG&A / Revenue fell 1.8pp are enough to offset pressure from Gross margin fell 3.8pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 6.4pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 3.5pp remained a drag).
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
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency for construction contractors should be read alongside project progress and receivables collection from developers — ROIC of 6.5% fluctuates with handover cycles.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 6.52%, rising 2.9pp. That translates to 6.52 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 4.0pp and capital turnover rose 0.11x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — 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 1.44x equity, net debt at 0.99x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 18.5bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower inventories. Pressure from higher receivables and lower payables only partly offset that benefit.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 25.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 40.3 days, DSO fell 1.6 days, and DPO fell 16.2 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.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.99x and interest coverage only at 1.89x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 18.9% of total debt, cash equals 3.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 1,966.2bn.
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 1.89x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Cash / debt stands at 3.5%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 376.1bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -247.2bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +128.9bn. Financing cash flow was negative +109.9bn.
CFO / net income was 2.22x.
After spending +297.5bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +96.8bn.
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 1.2 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 27.5%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 1.89x.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 12.68% after expanding 1.2pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 2.22x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 27.5% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 1.89x.
