What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, LGL posted a sharp profit increase versus the same period, suggesting a clear improvement from a low base — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. More notably, profit relies heavily on non-core sources while operating cash flow is negative — these two factors together suggest earnings quality needs cautious evaluation.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from -6.8% to 2.3% — mainly driven by net margin, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin expanded to 74.10%, rising 116.7pp. The main driver is SG&A / Revenue fell 2.6pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 94.4pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 24.1pp).
Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.

Watchpoints
Financial result accounts for 126.2% of PBT and lifted net margin by 118.5pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency for residential developers should be read alongside project cycles and handover timing — ROIC fluctuates with handover cycles.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.
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 1.03x equity, net debt at 0.52x equity.
Development inventory ended the period at 410.0bn, about 28.9% of total assets — reflecting projects in progress awaiting handover.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 104.3bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.52x and interest coverage only at 0.39x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 70.2% of total debt, cash equals 1.0% of debt, and total debt stands at 367.5bn.
Leverage for residential developers should be read alongside project cycles, development inventory, and handover timing.
Watchpoints
Interest coverage is 0.39x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Short-term debt accounts for 70.2% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash Flow
Operating cash flow reached -182.0bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 157.6bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +24.5bn. Financing cash flow was positive +29.1bn.
CFO / net income was -1.94x.
Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.
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 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 116.7 pp. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 0.39x.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 74.10% after expanding 116.7pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 107.1% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -1.94x.
Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 0.39x.
