What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, TL4 posted slightly higher profit versus the same period, but the increase is thin and not yet paired with clear improvement in revenue or margins — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. The point still to be proven is whether this profit level holds without further revenue momentum.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE is broadly flat at 0.8% — the components are offsetting one another.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin narrowed to 2.68%, falling 0.7pp. SG&A / Revenue fell 127.4pp and Gross margin rose 0.6pp improved but not enough to offset the weakness in Net financial result / Revenue fell 168.6pp (Other profit / Revenue rose 32.7pp still added support).
Margin is under pressure from multiple sides — temporary and structural components need to be separated to properly assess the risk.

Is capital being used efficiently?
Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.
Balance Sheet
Capital structure is relatively light for construction contractors — liabilities at 1.80x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.05x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 14.5bn 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
Working Capital Efficiency
The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 56.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 57.5 days, DSO fell 223.3 days, and DPO fell 337.5 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to shorter payment timing — may reflect pressure from suppliers.
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 is up by +56.7 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 23.4bn.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at -0.05x and interest coverage only at 0.06x.
Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.
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 0.06x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 23.4bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -12.7bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +10.7bn. Financing cash flow was negative +1.8bn.
CFO / net income was 18.57x.
After spending +0.2bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +27.7bn.
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 next item to monitor is capital structure should be read with cycle risk in mind. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 0.06x.
Watchpoint: Capital structure should be read with cycle risk in mind.
Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 0.06x.
