What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, UDC is declining on both revenue and margins simultaneously, showing pressure from multiple directions at once. More notably, profit is significantly supported by non-core sources and operating cash flow is not yet positive — the earnings quality picture needs close monitoring.

Other profit ↑ 6.3bn
Gross profit ↓ 70.0bn

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 -19.5% = -12.2% × 0.39 × 4.08
2026Q1 -38.4% = -21.2% × 0.33 × 5.43

ROE fell from -19.5% to -38.4% — net margin weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: -21.2% -9.0pp Asset turnover: 0.33x -0.06x Leverage: 5.43x +1.35x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin fell to -21.17%, losing 9.0pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 20.6pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 15.6pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 1.9pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 6.2pp remained a drag).

Margin is under pressure from multiple sides — temporary and structural components need to be separated to properly assess the risk.

Profitability trend

Net Margin -21.17% −9.0pp
Gross Margin -0.17% −20.6pp
SG&A / Revenue 5.44% −15.6pp
Non-core / Revenue -14.93% −4.3pp

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Watchpoints

Financial result share remains high

Even though contribution decreased by 4.3pp, financial result still accounts for 73.4% of PBT — earnings durability should be monitored in coming periods.

Is capital being used efficiently?

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

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.

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 Turnover 0.81x +0.03x

Balance Sheet

ROIC for construction contractors swings with project progress and handover cycles — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Leverage is well above the construction contractors norm — liquidity risk becomes material if project acceptance slips — liabilities at 5.08x equity, net debt at 1.51x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 214.8bn, roughly 25.7% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 13.6bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables. Part of that drag was offset by lower inventories and higher payables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −70.9bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +17.3bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +40.0bn

Working Capital Efficiency

The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 11.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 31.8 days, DSO rose 64.7 days, and DPO rose 21.9 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 386.0 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +64.7 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 154.7 days +64.7 days
Inventory 376.3 days −31.8 days
Payables 145.1 days +21.9 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 386.0 days +11.0 days

Is financial risk significant?

High leverage combined with negative operating cash flow — this area needs close monitoring.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.51x and interest coverage only at -1.37x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 92.7% of total debt, cash equals 11.4% of debt, and total debt stands at 217.8bn.

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 leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 1.51x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is -1.37x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Net Debt / Equity 1.51x +0.46x
Interest Coverage -1.37x −0.32x

Cash Flow

High leverage combined with cash flow below reveals the actual liquidity pressure. Operating cash flow reached -20.7bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 2.7bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +18.0bn. Financing cash flow was positive +0.7bn.

CFO / net income was -0.04x.

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 under real pressure, but the current picture has not turned broadly adverse. A notable area has clearly weakened, making the near-term outlook hard to call bright; even so, other parts of the business are still holding up, with margins remain under pressure remaining the main constraint, with net margin down 9.0 pp. The next watchpoint is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 73.1%.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 73.1% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -0.04x.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at -21.17% after a 9.0pp decline versus the same period last year.
