What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, DLG posted a sharp profit increase versus the same period, suggesting a clear improvement from a low base — profit is at an all-time high. The point still to be proven is whether this new profit level can hold once the low-base effect fades.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 35.4% = 26.1% × 0.20 × 6.88
2026Q1 51.2% = 71.5% × 0.15 × 4.65

ROE rose from 35.4% to 51.2% — mainly driven by net margin, despite asset turnover and leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 71.5% +45.3pp Asset turnover: 0.15x -0.04x Leverage: 4.65x -2.23x

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 71.47%, rising 45.3pp. The main driver is SG&A / Revenue fell 61.7pp and Gross margin rose 8.2pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 11.2pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 34.6pp remained a drag).

The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

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 17.1% fluctuates with handover cycles.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 17.07%, rising 19.1pp. That translates to 17.07 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 80.3pp, with capital turnover fell 0.08x; with invested capital easing slightly by 119bn.

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

ROIC 17.07% +19.1pp

Balance Sheet

ROIC for construction contractors swings with project progress and handover cycles — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is typical for construction contractors — liabilities at 3.24x equity, net debt at 1.72x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 412.5bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables. Pressure from lower payables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +454.7bn
Inventories were broadly stable → neutral CFO:
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −42.2bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 88.6 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 47.6 days, DSO rose 67.6 days, and DPO rose 26.6 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 remains stretched

CCC stands at 371.2 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +67.6 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 353.4 days +67.6 days

Cash Conversion Cycle 371.2 days +88.6 days

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.72x and interest coverage only at 2.02x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 37.3% of total debt, cash equals 0.8% of debt, and total debt stands at 1,841.1bn.

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

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 1.72x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 0.8%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 1.72x −0.89x
Interest Coverage 2.02x +2.24x
Cash / Debt 0.8% −5.3pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 37.3% +0.9pp
CFO / NI 1.44x +1.26x

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Flow

Leverage needs watching — cash flow below shows the ability to service debt from operations. Operating cash flow reached 104.2bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 67.0bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +171.3bn. Financing cash flow was negative +237.1bn.

CFO / net income was 1.44x.

After spending +1.6bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +615.8bn.

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 617.3bn +581.1bn
Cash Capex 1.6bn −6.1bn
FCF TTM +615.8bn +587.1bn

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 45.3 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 18.3%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 2.02x.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 71.47% after expanding 45.3pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 1.44x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 18.3% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity remain a pressure point, with net debt / equity at 1.72x and a thin cash buffer.
