What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VCX is declining across multiple metrics versus the same period, suggesting current pressure is not coming from just one side — margins have been expanding consistently over multiple periods. What remains unclear is whether the business can stabilize before this trend deepens.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE fell from 10.5% to 6.8% — all three components weakened, with leverage being the main drag.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin narrowed to 2.16%, falling 0.7pp. The main pressure comes from Gross margin fell 0.6pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 0.4pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.3pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 0.1pp).
The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Balance Sheet
ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is balanced — liabilities at 1.07x equity, net debt at 0.81x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 99.7bn, roughly 18.0% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 14.4bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower inventories. Pressure from 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 3.4 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 1.5 days, DSO fell 4.4 days, and DPO rose 0.5 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.
Watchpoints
DIO increased by +1.5 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.81x and interest coverage only at 1.59x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 0.8% of debt, and total debt stands at 212.9bn.
Watchpoints
Interest coverage is 1.59x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% 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 88.6bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -1.6bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +87.0bn. Financing cash flow was negative +85.3bn.
CFO / net income was 4.75x.
After spending +4.8bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +77.3bn.

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 1.59x. The next watchpoint is capital efficiency. The main offsetting support comes from cash generation.
Improvement: cash generation is recovering, with trailing-12M FCF improving by 54.8bn versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 1.59x.
