What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SD2 posted a sharp profit increase versus the same period, suggesting a clear improvement from a low base — this marks a reversal from the difficult phase before. However, a significant portion of profit is supported by non-core sources, making the picture not entirely clear.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 1.4% = 1.2% × 0.38 × 2.86
2026Q1 13.0% = 10.4% × 0.38 × 3.33

ROE rose from 1.4% to 13.0% — mainly driven by leverage, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 10.4% +9.2pp Asset turnover: 0.38x -0.01x Leverage: 3.33x +0.47x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins improved (+9.2pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 10.41%, rising 9.2pp. The main driver is SG&A / Revenue fell 16.1pp and Gross margin rose 0.6pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with lingering pressure from Other profit / Revenue fell 6.8pp and Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.7pp).

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

Profitability trend

Gross Margin 6.40% +0.6pp
SG&A / Revenue -12.44% −16.1pp
Non-core / Revenue -8.43% −7.5pp

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Watchpoints

Other income share remains high

Even though contribution decreased by 7.5pp, other income still accounts for 56.0% 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 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 relatively light for construction contractors — liabilities at 1.74x equity, net debt at 0.15x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 53.5bn, roughly 24.0% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 62.9bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower inventories. Pressure from lower payables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +90.1bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +10.6bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −37.7bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 2.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 52.9 days, DSO rose 128.0 days, and DPO rose 77.3 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 588.0 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +128.0 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

Receivables 691.7 days +128.0 days
Inventory 215.4 days −52.9 days
Payables 319.2 days +77.3 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 588.0 days −2.2 days

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.15x and interest coverage at 5.82x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 16.0% of debt, and total debt stands at 14.6bn.

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 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 16.0%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.15x −0.65x
Interest Coverage 5.82x +5.68x
Cash / Debt 16.0% +12.1pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 100.0% +0.7pp
CFO / NI 5.20x +1.40x

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 0.5bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +48.5bn. Financing cash flow was negative +45.1bn.

CFO / net income was 5.20x.

Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.

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 9.2 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is -25.1%.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 10.41% after expanding 9.2pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 5.20x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for -25.1% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
