On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VAF has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — profit is at an all-time high. Profit growth is driven mainly by better operations rather than scale expansion — a foundation that tends to be more durable.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 14.1% = 5.3% × 1.91 × 1.38
2026Q1 31.9% = 12.6% × 1.61 × 1.57

ROE rose from 14.1% to 31.9% — mainly driven by leverage, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 12.6% +7.3pp Asset turnover: 1.61x -0.30x Leverage: 1.57x +0.19x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 12.61%, rising 7.3pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 9.4pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 1.4pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.8pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.0pp remained a drag).

The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 32.1 days.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 93.82%, rising 64.9pp. That translates to 93.82 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 7.3pp and capital turnover rose 2.11x, while invested capital contracted by 54bn — capital-return quality improved from both sides.

Capital efficiency improved through NOPAT margin — this is a quality-led improvement when operating profit leads.

ROIC 93.82% +64.9pp
NOPAT Margin 12.91% +7.3pp
Capital Turnover 7.26x +2.11x
Average Invested Capital 221.1bn −54.3bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.84x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.61x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 288.0bn, roughly 23.8% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 106.9bn of cash, mainly thanks to higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables and higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −20.2bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −21.4bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 35.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 19.3 days, DSO fell 6.5 days, and DPO rose 9.4 days.

All 3 drivers (collection, inventory, payables) are improving — working capital turnover is strengthening across the board.

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 brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 7.3 pp. Warning and risk signals are not yet decisive enough to shift the picture.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 12.61% after expanding 7.3pp versus the same period last year.
