What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SD9 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
ROE rose from 5.0% to 6.2% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite net margin and leverage moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin narrowed to 10.34%, falling 0.7pp. The main pressure comes from Gross margin fell 9.2pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 0.6pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 5.5pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 2.8pp).
Margin is under pressure from multiple sides — temporary and structural components need to be separated to properly assess the risk.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency for construction contractors should be read alongside project progress and receivables collection from developers — ROIC of 3.7% fluctuates with handover cycles.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC stands at 3.66%, broadly flat versus the same period. That translates to 3.66 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. NOPAT margin narrowed 3.0pp, but capital turnover rose 0.11x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — the two factors are offsetting each other, keeping overall ROIC nearly unchanged.
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
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 1.20x equity, net debt at 0.49x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 242.9bn, roughly 14.5% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 40.1bn of cash, mainly thanks to higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables only partly offset that benefit.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 196.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 160.4 days, DSO fell 99.3 days, and DPO fell 63.7 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
CCC stands at 361.9 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

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 0.49x and interest coverage only at 1.33x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 32.4% of total debt, cash equals 17.8% of debt, and total debt stands at 520.0bn.
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 1.33x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Cash / debt stands at 17.8%, 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 165.0bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -2.8bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +162.2bn. Financing cash flow was negative +112.3bn.
CFO / net income was 4.65x.
After spending +46.4bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +105.6bn.
For construction contractors, FCF swings sharply with project progress and payment cycles — should be read alongside backlog and receivables quality.
Cash Conversion

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 4.65x. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 3.7%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 1.33x.
Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 4.65x.
Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 1.33x.
