What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, DCF is growing strongly on the back of scale expansion, while margins have only improved slightly — margins have been expanding consistently over multiple periods. However, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this needs monitoring in coming periods.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 11.4% = 3.7% × 1.54 × 2.03
2026Q1 13.5% = 3.7% × 1.56 × 2.34

ROE rose from 11.4% to 13.5% — mainly driven by leverage.

Net margin: 3.7% +0.0pp Asset turnover: 1.56x +0.02x Leverage: 2.34x +0.32x

Is the profit sustainable?

Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin stands at 3.69%, broadly flat versus the same period. Supportive factors and pressure points are offsetting one another.

Margin is nearly flat but the underlying components are moving — this is a transitional phase, more time is needed to see the real trend.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for construction contractors should be read alongside project progress and receivables collection from developers — ROIC of 7.7% fluctuates with handover cycles.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC narrowed to 7.70%, falling 1.1pp. That translates to 7.70 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin narrowed 0.2pp and capital turnover fell 0.16x, while invested capital expanded strongly by 322bn — pressure came from both operational efficiency and asset efficiency.

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 1.59x equity, net debt at 0.71x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 257.3bn, roughly 15.3% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 333.8bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories. Part of that drag was offset by higher payables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −511.5bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −109.2bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +286.9bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 34.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 5.2 days, DSO rose 31.1 days, and DPO rose 2.4 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower receivables collection — receivables quality needs monitoring.

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 is lengthening

CCC is up by +34.0 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +31.1 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 83.7 days +31.1 days
Inventory 43.2 days +5.2 days
Payables 36.9 days +2.4 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 90.0 days +34.0 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 282.8bn due to capex of 15.6bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage is balanced for now, with net debt / equity at 0.71x and interest coverage at 4.86x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 99.5% of total debt, cash equals 2.4% of debt, and total debt stands at 476.9bn.

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

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 99.5% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 2.4%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.71x +0.23x
Interest Coverage 4.86x −5.53x
Cash / Debt 2.4% −2.1pp

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow reached -253.1bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -60.4bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +313.5bn. Financing cash flow was positive +374.2bn.

CFO / net income was -3.43x.

After spending +15.6bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −282.8bn.

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

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 267.2bn −76.7bn
Cash Capex 15.6bn −3.4bn
FCF TTM −282.8bn −73.4bn

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 earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at -3.43x. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 7.7%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 4.86x.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at -3.43x.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity remain a pressure point, with net debt / equity at 0.71x and a thin cash buffer.
