What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, HUB has not accelerated revenue, but profitability is improving more visibly — profit is at an all-time high. However, a significant portion of profit is supported by non-core sources, making the picture not entirely clear.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 10.0% to 11.7% — mainly driven by net margin, despite asset turnover and leverage moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins improved (+5.7pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin expanded to 25.59%, rising 5.7pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 6.7pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 3.7pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 8.2pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 2.2pp remained a drag).
Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Watchpoints
Financial result accounts for 42.3% of PBT and lifted net margin by 6.0pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency for construction contractors should be read alongside project progress and receivables collection from developers — ROIC of 12.9% fluctuates with handover cycles.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 12.92%, rising 2.9pp. That translates to 12.92 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 7.6pp, with capital turnover broadly stable; with invested capital holding roughly steady.
For construction contractors, ROIC moves with backlog and project acceptance timing — this is a reference signal and should be read alongside working-capital cycles.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

Balance Sheet
ROIC for construction contractors swings with project progress and handover cycles — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is notably light for construction contractors — liabilities at 0.50x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.07x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 23.5bn of cash, mainly because of higher inventories. Part of that drag was offset by lower receivables and higher payables.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 116.6 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 137.0 days, DSO fell 10.6 days, and DPO rose 9.8 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.
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
CCC stands at 387.5 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.
DIO increased by +137.0 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 68.1bn.
Leverage & Liquidity
Track net leverage, interest coverage, and the liquidity buffer on the balance sheet.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 2508.6% of debt, and total debt stands at 2.0bn.
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 debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 68.1bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -56.3bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +11.8bn. Financing cash flow was negative +58.9bn.
CFO / net income was 0.54x.
After spending +30.6bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +8.9bn.
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 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 5.7 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 25.59% after expanding 5.7pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 38.4% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.54x.
