What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, HU4 is showing a few mildly positive signals versus the same period, though the magnitude is narrow — profit is at an all-time high. The direction is leaning toward improvement, but the next test will be whether the magnitude widens enough to become a trend.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 7.9% to 12.6% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite net margin and leverage moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin fell to 5.45%, losing 3.2pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 15.2pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 3.6pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 7.2pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 0.7pp).
Margin is under pressure from multiple sides — temporary and structural components need to be separated to properly assess the risk.
Profitability trend

Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency for residential developers should be read alongside project cycles and handover timing — ROIC of 6.9% fluctuates with handover cycles.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 6.90%, rising 3.8pp. That translates to 6.90 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. capital turnover rose 0.94x was enough to offset the contraction in NOPAT margin narrowed 3.8pp, while invested capital contracted by 148bn.
For real estate developers, ROIC moves with project cycles — this is a reference signal, and the real assessment needs upcoming handover periods.

Balance Sheet
ROIC for residential developers swings with project cycles and handover timing — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is relatively light for the real estate sector — liabilities at 1.61x equity, net debt at 0.09x equity.
Development inventory ended the period at 385.5bn, about 67.1% of total assets — reflecting projects in progress awaiting handover.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 183.0bn 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
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 0.09x and interest coverage only at 0.94x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 52.2% of total debt, cash equals 77.0% of debt, and total debt stands at 90.1bn.
Leverage for residential developers should be read alongside project cycles, development inventory, and handover timing.
Watchpoints
Interest coverage is 0.94x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 379.3bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -0.7bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +378.6bn. Financing cash flow was negative +294.7bn.
CFO / net income was 12.37x.
After spending +2.1bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +330.4bn.
For residential developers, FCF and CFO swing with project cycles — negative during investment phases and positive at handover — not representative of single-year efficiency.

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 earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 12.37x. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 6.9%. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 3.2 pp.
Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 12.37x.
Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 5.45% after a 3.2pp decline versus the same period last year.
