What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VC9 is in an offsetting state — revenue softened slightly but margins improved — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. More notably, most of the profit comes from non-core sources — this needs careful evaluation before concluding on growth quality.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE is broadly flat at 1.3% — the components are offsetting one another.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins improved (+0.0pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin stands at 0.38%, broadly flat versus the same period. Supportive factors and pressure points are offsetting one another.
Margin is nearly flat but the underlying components are moving — this is a transitional phase, more time is needed to see the real trend.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Watchpoints
Financial result accounts for 89.8% of PBT and lifted net margin by 1.4pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.
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 EFFICIENCY TREND
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
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 10.06x equity, net debt at 0.75x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 183.2bn, roughly 25.8% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 20.0bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables. Pressure from higher inventories and lower payables only partly offset that benefit.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 32.5 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 16.2 days, DSO fell 51.1 days, and DPO fell 34.8 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.
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 stands at 401.1 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Is financial risk significant?
Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.75x and interest coverage only at 0.02x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 79.0% of total debt, cash equals 29.7% of debt, and total debt stands at 68.5bn.
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 0.02x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Short-term debt accounts for 79.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 6.3bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 13.5bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +19.8bn. Financing cash flow was negative +21.6bn.
CFO / net income was 26.93x.
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.
Cash Conversion

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 leverage and liquidity remaining the main constraint, with interest coverage at 0.02x. The next watchpoint is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is -651.0%.
Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 26.93x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for -651.0% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 0.02x.
