What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SDT 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, most of the profit comes from non-core sources — this needs careful evaluation before concluding on growth quality.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 3.4% = 2.7% × 0.48 × 2.66
2026Q1 7.8% = 8.6% × 0.37 × 2.45

ROE rose from 3.4% to 7.8% — mainly driven by net margin, despite asset turnover and leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 8.6% +5.9pp Asset turnover: 0.37x -0.11x Leverage: 2.45x -0.21x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins improved (+5.9pp), 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 8.59%, rising 5.9pp. Despite pressure from Gross margin fell 3.3pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 2.6pp, the offset came from Net financial result / Revenue rose 13.7pp (pressure remains from Other profit / Revenue fell 1.7pp).

Margin improves from both core operations and non-core items — the core foundation is positive, but the sustainability of non-core contributions needs monitoring.

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Financial result accounts for 110.3% of PBT and lifted net margin by 11.9pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for construction contractors should be read alongside project progress and receivables collection from developers — ROIC of 7.1% fluctuates with handover cycles.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 7.15%, rising 5.0pp. That translates to 7.15 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 7.5pp, with capital turnover fell 0.14x; while invested capital contracted by 130bn.

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 7.15% +5.0pp
NOPAT Margin 10.03% +7.5pp
Capital Turnover 0.71x −0.14x
Average Invested Capital 1,064.4bn −129.9bn

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 1.35x equity, net debt at 0.16x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 337.4bn, roughly 16.7% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 165.6bn 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

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +109.8bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −33.9bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +89.7bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 86.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 43.0 days, DSO rose 60.8 days, and DPO rose 17.1 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 remains stretched

CCC stands at 426.4 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +60.8 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 321.8 days +60.8 days
Inventory 207.3 days +43.0 days
Payables 102.7 days +17.1 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 426.4 days +86.7 days

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.16x and interest coverage only at 1.27x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 48.6% of total debt, cash equals 62.4% of debt, and total debt stands at 363.4bn.

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 thin

Interest coverage is 1.27x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.16x −0.26x
Interest Coverage 1.27x +0.66x
Cash / Debt 62.4% +28.9pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 48.6% −11.7pp
CFO / NI 2.59x −0.21x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 248.2bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 42.6bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +290.9bn. Financing cash flow was negative +166.7bn.

CFO / net income was 2.59x.

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 showing brightening signals, but the improvement is still early and not yet thick enough to read as a confirmed trend. The brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 5.9 pp. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 1.27x.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 8.59% after expanding 5.9pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 2.59x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 93.6% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 1.27x.
