What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, ICN posted a very sharp profit drop versus the same period, showing that pressure has clearly fed through to the bottom line — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. The key watch now is how long the business needs to stabilize its profit base.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 81.0% = 38.6% × 0.60 × 3.52
2026Q1 22.7% = 37.2% × 0.23 × 2.62

ROE fell from 81.0% to 22.7% — all three components weakened, with leverage being the main drag.

Net margin: 37.2% -1.4pp Asset turnover: 0.23x -0.37x Leverage: 2.62x -0.89x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin narrowed to 37.17%, falling 1.4pp. The main pressure comes from Gross margin fell 9.1pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 3.3pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 10.8pp).

Margin is under pressure from multiple sides — temporary and structural components need to be separated to properly assess the risk.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for construction contractors should be read alongside project progress and receivables collection from developers — ROIC fluctuates with handover cycles.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.

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

Balance Sheet

ROIC for construction contractors swings with project progress and handover cycles — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is relatively light for construction contractors — liabilities at 1.45x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.06x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 189.9bn, roughly 14.8% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 36.5bn of cash, mainly because of lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower receivables and lower inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +35.9bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +28.8bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −101.3bn

Working Capital Efficiency

The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 173.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 145.0 days, DSO rose 35.2 days, and DPO rose 7.1 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

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 503.1 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +35.2 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 65.7 days +35.2 days
Inventory 455.6 days +145.0 days
Payables 18.2 days +7.1 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 503.1 days +173.2 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 131.1bn.

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 200.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 28.0bn.

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 refinancing pressure is meaningful

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 131.1bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -191.7bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +60.6bn. Financing cash flow was negative +70.2bn.

CFO / net income was 0.53x.

After spending +11.2bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +46.5bn.

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 57.7bn −447.7bn
Cash Capex 11.2bn +7.7bn
FCF TTM +46.5bn −455.4bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is under real pressure, but the current picture has not turned broadly adverse. A notable area has clearly weakened, making the near-term outlook hard to call bright; even so, other parts of the business are still holding up, with some core pressures remaining the main constraint. The next watchpoint is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 28.2%. The main offsetting support comes from balance-sheet flexibility, with net cash/equity at about -0.06x.

Improvement: the balance sheet remains flexible, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.06x of equity.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 28.2% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.53x.
