What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SJE has not accelerated revenue, but profitability is improving more visibly — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. 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
ROE fell from 19.7% to 14.2% — asset turnover weakened the most, though net margin still provided support.
Is the profit sustainable?
Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin expanded to 9.62%, rising 2.7pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 7.3pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.4pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 3.4pp and Other profit / Revenue fell 0.2pp).
Margin improves from both core operations and non-core items — the core foundation is positive, but the sustainability of non-core contributions needs monitoring.
Profitability trend

Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency for construction contractors should be read alongside project progress and receivables collection from developers — ROIC of 6.5% fluctuates with handover cycles.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC fell to 6.48%, losing 2.7pp. That translates to 6.48 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from capital turnover fell 0.68x — capital is being absorbed faster than revenue is being generated; while invested capital expanded strongly by 854bn.
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 1.87x equity, net debt at 1.32x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 1,207.3bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 51.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 8.5 days, DSO rose 71.0 days, and DPO rose 27.7 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
CCC stands at 139.7 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.
DSO increased by +71.0 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?
Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 972.8bn due to capex of 9.1bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.32x and interest coverage only at 1.38x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 40.7% of total debt, cash equals 3.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 2,007.4bn.
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
Net debt / equity stands at 1.32x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Interest coverage is 1.38x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Leverage and liquidity trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Cash Flow
High leverage combined with cash flow below reveals the actual liquidity pressure. Operating cash flow reached -855.1bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -289.8bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +1,144.9bn. Financing cash flow was positive +1,104.2bn.
CFO / net income was -6.55x.
After spending +9.1bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −972.8bn.
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 2.7 pp. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 6.5%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 1.38x.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 9.62% after expanding 2.7pp 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 1.38x.
