What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VC2 posted a very sharp profit drop versus the same period, showing that pressure has clearly fed through to the bottom line — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. The key watch now is how long the business needs to stabilize its profit base.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 4.3% = 3.3% × 0.42 × 3.09
2026Q1 1.7% = 1.4% × 0.39 × 3.13

ROE fell from 4.3% to 1.7% — asset turnover weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: 1.4% -1.9pp Asset turnover: 0.39x -0.03x Leverage: 3.13x +0.04x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin fell to 1.41%, losing 1.9pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 5.1pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 1.1pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 1.7pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.0pp remained a drag).

The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for construction contractors should be read alongside project progress and receivables collection from developers — ROIC of 0.8% fluctuates with handover cycles.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC narrowed to 0.80%, falling 1.2pp. That translates to 0.80 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from NOPAT margin narrowed 1.9pp, outweighing the movement in capital turnover; with invested capital holding roughly steady.

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 EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 0.80% −1.2pp
NOPAT Margin 1.23% −1.9pp
Capital Turnover 0.65x −0.01x
Average Invested Capital 1,786.6bn −23.5bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC for construction contractors swings with project progress and handover cycles — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is typical for construction contractors — liabilities at 2.25x equity, net debt at 0.86x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 401.1bn, roughly 13.1% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 66.1bn of cash, mainly thanks to higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables and higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −103.4bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −57.7bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +227.3bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 23.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 4.0 days, DSO fell 10.6 days, and DPO rose 9.2 days.

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

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 184.5 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 179.8 days −10.6 days
Inventory 136.7 days −4.0 days
Payables 132.0 days +9.2 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 184.5 days −23.8 days

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.86x and interest coverage only at 0.37x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 79.1% of total debt, cash equals 3.4% of debt, and total debt stands at 846.4bn.

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

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.37x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 79.1% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Net Debt / Equity 0.86x −0.07x
Interest Coverage 0.37x −0.33x

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow reached -118.7bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 128.8bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +10.1bn. Financing cash flow was negative +1.9bn.

CFO / net income was 3.17x.

Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.

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 1.9 pp. The next watchpoint is effective tax rate looks unusual, with effective tax rate at 30.9%.

Watchpoint: the effective tax rate looks unusual, so current net profit may not fully reflect underlying earnings quality.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 1.41% after a 1.9pp decline versus the same period last year.
