What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, S99 has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. Profit growth is driven mainly by better operations rather than scale expansion — a foundation that tends to be more durable.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 1.5% to 6.6% — mainly driven by net margin, despite asset turnover and leverage moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin expanded to 8.68%, rising 7.0pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 8.2pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.5pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 5.4pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 4.6pp remained a drag).
The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency for construction contractors should be read alongside project progress and receivables collection from developers — ROIC of 3.2% fluctuates with handover cycles.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 3.20%, rising 3.8pp. That translates to 3.20 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 10.3pp, with capital turnover fell 0.05x; while invested capital rose by 398bn.
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

Balance Sheet
ROIC for construction contractors swings with project progress and handover cycles — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is relatively light for construction contractors — liabilities at 1.50x equity, net debt at 0.84x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 492.4bn, roughly 10.5% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 317.3bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and higher payables. Pressure from higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 20.9 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 39.2 days, DSO fell 18.2 days, and DPO rose 0.1 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.
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
CCC stands at 266.5 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.
DIO increased by +39.2 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.84x and interest coverage only at 0.94x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 25.9% of total debt, cash equals 19.4% of debt, and total debt stands at 2,041.3bn.
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
Interest coverage is 0.94x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Cash / debt stands at 19.4%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 645.2bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -449.1bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +196.1bn. Financing cash flow was positive +0.6bn.
CFO / net income was 6.64x.
After spending +76.6bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +633.7bn.
For construction contractors, FCF swings sharply with project progress and payment cycles — should be read alongside backlog and receivables quality.

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 7.0 pp. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 3.2%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 0.94x.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 8.68% after expanding 7.0pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 0.94x.
