Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency should be read in industry context — ROIC of 4.5% may fluctuate with business specifics.

Industry characteristics make ROIC cyclical — this is a reference signal and should be read with the business context.

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is typical for the real estate sector — liabilities at 2.45x equity, net debt at 1.48x equity.

Development inventory ended the period at 915.9bn, about 68.3% of total assets — reflecting projects in progress awaiting handover.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 14.5bn of cash, mainly because of higher inventories and lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower receivables.

Working Capital Efficiency

Track receivable, inventory, and payable turns to judge working-capital efficiency.

Track DSO, DIO, DPO components to evaluate working capital turnover efficiency.

Working capital metrics in this industry should be read alongside business model specifics — DSO/DIO/DPO/CCC can be distorted by operational factors not reflected in raw numbers.

Cash Conversion Cycle

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.48x and interest coverage only at 4.41x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 42.4% of total debt, cash equals 3.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 599.9bn.

Leverage should be read alongside project structure, regulated assets, or industry-specific capital recovery.

Watchpoints

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 1.48x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 3.2%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Net Debt / Equity 1.48x −0.14x
Interest Coverage 4.41x
Cash / Debt 3.2% +1.9pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 42.4% +10.3pp
CFO / NI 0.17x

Cash Flow

High leverage combined with cash flow below reveals the actual liquidity pressure. Operating cash flow reached -12.6bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -15.3bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +27.9bn. Financing cash flow was positive +55.3bn.

CFO / net income was 0.17x.

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

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing a few weaker signals, but the current magnitude is not yet clear enough to conclude that this is a broader weakening phase. The brighter spot is earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 0.17x. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 4.5%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 4.41x.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 0.17x.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity remain a pressure point, with net debt / equity at 1.48x and a thin cash buffer.
