What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, PQN is improving on both growth and profitability, painting a notably more positive picture versus the same period — profit is at an all-time high. However, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this needs monitoring in coming periods.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 17.0% = 1.8% × 1.49 × 6.32
2026Q1 19.1% = 2.0% × 1.51 × 6.21

ROE rose from 17.0% to 19.1% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 2.0% +0.2pp Asset turnover: 1.51x +0.02x Leverage: 6.21x -0.11x

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 stands at 2.04%, broadly flat versus the same period. Supportive factors and pressure points are offsetting one another.

Margin is nearly flat but the underlying components are moving — this is a transitional phase, more time is needed to see the real trend.

Watchpoints

Contribution from financial result

Profit includes a contribution from financial result (30.8% of PBT), not dominant but worth monitoring across periods.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for construction contractors should be read alongside project progress and receivables collection from developers — ROIC of 28.2% fluctuates with handover cycles.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC fell to 28.17%, losing 23.8pp. That translates to 28.17 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from capital turnover fell 15.63x — capital is being absorbed faster than revenue is being generated; while invested capital expanded strongly by 75bn.

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 28.17% −23.8pp
NOPAT Margin 1.91% +0.2pp
Capital Turnover 14.77x −15.63x
Average Invested Capital 125.6bn +74.5bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC for construction contractors swings with project progress and handover cycles — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Leverage is well above the construction contractors norm — liquidity risk becomes material if project acceptance slips — liabilities at 5.19x equity, net debt at 0.15x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 368.1bn, roughly 28.6% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 142.6bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories. Part of that drag was offset by higher payables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −206.8bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −9.6bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +73.8bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 3.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 9.1 days, DSO rose 14.6 days, and DPO rose 2.6 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower receivables collection — receivables quality needs monitoring.

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 is lengthening

CCC is up by +3.0 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +14.6 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 61.0 days +14.6 days
Inventory 76.3 days −9.1 days
Payables 66.1 days +2.6 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 71.2 days +3.0 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 210.4bn due to capex of 141.2bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.15x and interest coverage at 9.32x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 7.7% of total debt, cash equals 54.1% of debt, and total debt stands at 72.8bn.

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

Interest Coverage 9.32x +5.60x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 48.1bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -79.6bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +31.4bn. Financing cash flow was positive +19.0bn.

CFO / net income was -1.83x.

After spending +141.2bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −210.4bn.

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 69.3bn −260.7bn
Cash Capex 141.2bn +101.7bn
FCF TTM −210.4bn −362.4bn

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 next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 24.3%. Warning and risk signals are not yet decisive enough to shift the picture.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 24.3% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -1.83x.
