What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, TEG posted a sharp profit increase versus the same period, suggesting a clear improvement from a low base — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. More notably, profit relies heavily on non-core sources while operating cash flow is negative — these two factors together suggest earnings quality needs cautious evaluation.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 0.6% to 1.5% — mainly driven by net margin, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.
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 40.06%, rising 37.2pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 35.0pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 25.2pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 30.2pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 2.2pp).
Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Watchpoints
Financial result accounts for 94.8% of PBT and lifted net margin by 32.4pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency for residential developers should be read alongside project cycles and handover timing — ROIC of 1.3% fluctuates with handover cycles.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC stands at 1.30%, broadly flat versus the same period. That translates to 1.30 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. NOPAT margin rose 34.8pp, but capital turnover fell 0.15x, while invested capital rose by 125bn — the two factors are offsetting each other, keeping overall ROIC nearly unchanged.
For real estate developers, ROIC moves with project cycles — this is a reference signal, and the real assessment needs upcoming handover periods.

Balance Sheet
ROIC for residential developers swings with project cycles and handover timing — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is notably light for the real estate sector — liabilities at 0.23x equity, net debt at 0.17x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 534.1bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories. Part of that drag was offset by higher payables.

Is financial risk significant?
Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 516.4bn due to capex of 4.6bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage is balanced for now, with net debt / equity at 0.17x and interest coverage at 2.94x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 31.3% of total debt, cash equals 3.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 262.0bn.
Leverage for residential developers should be read alongside project cycles, development inventory, and handover timing.
Watchpoints
Cash / debt stands at 3.5%, 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 9.4bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -23.3bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +13.9bn. Financing cash flow was positive +20.7bn.
CFO / net income was -27.25x.
After spending +4.6bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −516.4bn.
For residential developers, FCF and CFO swing with project cycles — negative during investment phases and positive at handover — not representative of single-year efficiency.

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 37.2 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 2.94x.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 40.06% after expanding 37.2pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 88.4% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -27.25x.
Key risk: leverage and liquidity remain a pressure point, with net debt / equity at 0.17x and a thin cash buffer.
