What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PPS is maintaining revenue growth, but margins have not improved proportionally — profit is at an all-time high. What is still missing is the ability to convert top-line growth into better profitability.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 7.6% = 4.3% × 1.48 × 1.19
2026Q1 8.7% = 3.4% × 2.03 × 1.24

ROE rose from 7.6% to 8.7% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite net margin moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 3.4% -0.9pp Asset turnover: 2.03x +0.55x Leverage: 1.24x +0.05x

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 3.45%, falling 0.9pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 6.0pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 4.5pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 0.6pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.5pp remained a drag).

The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.

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 notably light for construction contractors — liabilities at 0.77x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.11x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 76.4bn, roughly 23.3% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 12.9bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables. Part of that drag was offset by lower inventories and higher payables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −56.0bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +19.8bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +23.2bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 7.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 16.0 days, DSO rose 8.2 days, and DPO fell 0.2 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.

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

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +8.2 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 67.9 days +8.2 days
Inventory 25.0 days −16.0 days
Payables 14.5 days −0.2 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 78.5 days −7.7 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 16.4bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Track net leverage, interest coverage, and the liquidity buffer on the balance sheet.

Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.

Leverage for construction contractors fluctuates with project working capital, performance guarantees, and progress receivables — should be read alongside receivables quality and developer payment cycles.

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 16.4bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 3.1bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +19.5bn. Financing cash flow was negative +14.7bn.

CFO / net income was 0.15x.

After spending +11.7bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −9.2bn.

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

Cash Capex 11.7bn +6.2bn
FCF TTM −9.2bn +22.0bn

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 earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 0.15x. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 0.15x.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
