What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VCG is improving on both revenue and margins, suggesting current growth is backed by both scale and operating efficiency — profit is at an all-time high. However, a significant portion of profit is supported by non-core sources, making the picture not entirely clear.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 7.8% to 36.3% — mainly driven by net margin, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins improved (+19.2pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin expanded to 25.87%, rising 19.2pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 0.3pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.6pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 19.9pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.3pp remained a drag).
Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Watchpoints
Financial result accounts for 70.1% of PBT and lifted net margin by 19.6pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 161.7 days.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 24.08%, rising 19.7pp. That translates to 24.08 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 19.5pp and capital turnover rose 0.24x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — capital-return quality improved from both sides.
Capital efficiency improved through NOPAT margin — this is a quality-led improvement when operating profit leads.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Balance Sheet
ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Capital structure is relatively light for construction contractors — liabilities at 1.51x equity, net debt at 0.39x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 5,656.6bn, roughly 18.1% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 1,713.1bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower inventories and higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables 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 80.9 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 73.0 days, DSO fell 0.5 days, and DPO rose 7.4 days.
All 3 drivers (collection, inventory, payables) are improving — working capital turnover is strengthening across the board.
Watchpoints
CCC stands at 161.7 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.39x and interest coverage at 11.25x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 74.0% of total debt, cash equals 30.1% of debt, and total debt stands at 7,085.9bn.
Watchpoints
Short-term debt accounts for 74.0% 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 2,838.6bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -2,710.0bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +128.6bn. Financing cash flow was negative +269.2bn.
CFO / net income was 0.56x.
After spending +619.3bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +1,725.0bn.

Investment Takeaway
The business is showing a brighter picture at the headline-earnings level, but what deserves a closer look right now is the quality of that improvement. Margins and net profit may look better, but if financial income, other income, or unusually low taxes contribute too much, this is not yet a clean enough growth base to extrapolate further. The main bright spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 19.2 pp. Even so, the earnings mix still warrants monitoring in upcoming periods, when non-core contribution is 69.7%. The residual risk still sits in working capital is tied up too long in the operating cycle, with CCC extended to 162 days.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 25.87% after expanding 19.2pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 69.7% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.56x.
Key risk: working capital remains tied up for too long, with cash cycle at 161.7 days.
