What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, HTE has not accelerated revenue, but profitability is improving more visibly — this marks a reversal from the difficult phase before. The positive sign is better operations, though this signal only becomes convincing if accompanied by a revenue recovery.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 1.1% = 0.6% × 1.18 × 1.50
2026Q1 3.8% = 2.1% × 1.24 × 1.42

ROE rose from 1.1% to 3.8% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 2.1% +1.5pp Asset turnover: 1.24x +0.06x Leverage: 1.42x -0.07x

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 2.15%, rising 1.5pp. The main driver is SG&A / Revenue fell 0.8pp and Gross margin rose 0.5pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.3pp).

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

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Balance Sheet

Capital structure is notably light for construction contractors — liabilities at 0.18x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.11x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 47.9bn, roughly 18.0% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 15.9bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and higher payables. Pressure from higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +10.7bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −17.0bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +22.2bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 40.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 53.0 days, DSO rose 8.3 days, and DPO fell 3.8 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.

Watchpoints

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +8.3 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 48.3 days +8.3 days
Inventory 47.7 days −53.0 days
Payables 23.0 days −3.8 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 73.1 days −40.8 days

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Track net leverage, interest coverage, and the liquidity buffer on the balance sheet.

Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.

Leverage for construction contractors fluctuates with project working capital, performance guarantees, and progress receivables — should be read alongside receivables quality and developer payment cycles.

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow reached -58.3bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 33.6bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +24.6bn. Financing cash flow was negative +13.2bn.

CFO / net income was 2.81x.

Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.

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 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 1.5 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 19.8%.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 2.15% after expanding 1.5pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 2.81x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 19.8% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
