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.

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 debt / equity stands at 1.48x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Cash / debt stands at 3.2%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

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.

Cash Conversion

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.
