What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, NDX is improving on both revenue and margins, suggesting current growth is backed by both scale and operating efficiency — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. However, profit is significantly supported by non-core sources and operating cash flow is not yet positive — the improvement signal needs more time to confirm.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 -0.3% = -1.1% × 0.16 × 1.81
2026Q1 4.2% = 6.2% × 0.40 × 1.71

ROE rose from -0.3% to 4.2% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 6.2% +7.2pp Asset turnover: 0.40x +0.23x Leverage: 1.71x -0.10x

Is the profit sustainable?

Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 6.16%, rising 7.2pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 10.3pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 5.3pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 4.2pp and Other profit / Revenue fell 0.0pp).

The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Profitability trend

Net Margin 6.16% +7.2pp
Gross Margin 8.76% +10.3pp
SG&A / Revenue 4.64% −5.3pp
Non-core / Revenue 6.38% −4.2pp

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Watchpoints

Financial result share remains high

Even though contribution decreased by 4.2pp, financial result still accounts for 76.3% of PBT — earnings durability should be monitored in coming periods.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for construction contractors should be read alongside project progress and receivables collection from developers — ROIC of 3.1% fluctuates with handover cycles.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 3.08%, rising 3.2pp. That translates to 3.08 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 6.8pp and capital turnover rose 0.29x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — capital-return quality improved from both sides.

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

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 3.08% +3.2pp
NOPAT Margin 6.17% +6.8pp
Capital Turnover 0.50x +0.29x
Average Invested Capital 165.6bn −8.0bn

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 0.63x equity, net debt at 0.30x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 5.0bn 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

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +6.1bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −12.9bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +1.9bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 478.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 1.2 days, DSO fell 508.8 days, and DPO fell 32.0 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.

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 252.4 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 209.4 days −508.8 days
Inventory 86.0 days −1.2 days
Payables 42.9 days −32.0 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 252.4 days −478.0 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 1.8bn due to capex of 1.4bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage is balanced for now, with net debt / equity at 0.30x and interest coverage at 3.88x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 97.9% of total debt, cash equals 10.9% of debt, and total debt stands at 42.4bn.

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 97.9% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 10.9%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.30x −0.10x
Interest Coverage 3.88x +3.99x
Cash / Debt 10.9% +4.3pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 97.9% +6.3pp
CFO / NI -0.09x +8.01x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 1.7bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 4.2bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +5.9bn. Financing cash flow was positive +5.3bn.

CFO / net income was -0.09x.

After spending +1.4bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −1.8bn.

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 0.4bn −2.7bn
Cash Capex 1.4bn
FCF TTM −1.8bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is heading the right way, but the current picture is still at partial confirmation — not yet a fully clean case. The positive points have clearly improved, showing the operating base is better than before. The brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 7.2 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 6.16% after expanding 7.2pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 76.0% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -0.09x.
