What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, HHC has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. However, profit is significantly supported by non-core sources and operating cash flow is not yet positive — the improvement signal needs more time to confirm.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 6.0% = 5.2% × 0.58 × 1.99
2026Q1 8.8% = 8.4% × 0.74 × 1.42

ROE rose from 6.0% to 8.8% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 8.4% +3.1pp Asset turnover: 0.74x +0.16x Leverage: 1.42x -0.57x

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 expanded to 8.36%, rising 3.1pp. The main driver is SG&A / Revenue fell 3.2pp and Gross margin rose 0.4pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.2pp).

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

Profitability trend

Net Margin 8.36% +3.1pp
Gross Margin 22.64% +0.4pp
SG&A / Revenue 16.76% −3.2pp
Non-core / Revenue 4.61% +0.2pp

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Margin support from financial result remains high (46.2% of PBT) — sustainability should be monitored.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Return on capital rose, but cash cycle lengthened by 28.0 days — working capital needs watching.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 7.20%, rising 2.1pp. That translates to 7.20 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 3.1pp, with capital turnover fell 0.09x; with invested capital holding roughly steady.

NOPAT margin is driving the improvement — ROIC has cleared the deposit-rate threshold but not yet the typical cost of equity level, and this momentum needs to hold as new invested capital is fully deployed.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 7.20% +2.1pp
NOPAT Margin 8.45% +3.1pp
Capital Turnover 0.85x −0.09x
Average Invested Capital 826.1bn +47.7bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.48x equity, net debt at 0.29x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 162.5bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −118.8bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +6.9bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −50.7bn

Working Capital Efficiency

The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 28.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 2.9 days, DSO rose 30.0 days, and DPO fell 1.0 days.

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

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 107.4 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +30.0 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 79.9 days +30.0 days
Inventory 38.2 days −2.9 days
Payables 10.7 days −1.0 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 107.4 days +28.0 days

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.29x and interest coverage at 7.03x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 10.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 223.9bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 10.2%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.29x +0.11x
Interest Coverage 7.03x +5.36x
Cash / Debt 10.2% −24.0pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 100.0% 0.0pp
CFO / NI -2.36x −0.65x

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow reached -18.1bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 28.9bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +10.8bn. Financing cash flow was negative +18.0bn.

CFO / net income was -2.36x.

Cash capex or FCF data is incomplete, so the cash-conversion view is only partial.

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 3.1 pp. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 8.36% after expanding 3.1pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 45.1% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -2.36x.
