What Is Changing
On a TTM 2025Q3 basis, VDL posted a sharp profit increase versus the same period, suggesting a clear improvement from a low base — profit is at an all-time high. More notably, profit relies heavily on non-core sources while operating cash flow is negative — these two factors together suggest earnings quality needs cautious evaluation.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
Is the profit sustainable?
Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin expanded to 3.20%, rising 15.8pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 18.9pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 7.3pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 3.5pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 1.1pp remained a drag).
The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

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 15.8 pp. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated. The main risk still sits in working capital is tied up too long in the operating cycle, with CCC extended to 342 days.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 3.20% after expanding 15.8pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 124.4% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -11.29x.
Key risk: working capital remains tied up for too long, with cash cycle at 342.4 days.
