What Is Changing

On a TTM 2025Q1 basis, VE8 posted a very sharp profit drop versus the same period, showing that pressure has clearly fed through to the bottom line — margins have been compressing consistently over multiple periods. More notably, profit is significantly supported by non-core sources and operating cash flow is not yet positive — the earnings quality picture needs close monitoring.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2024Q1 -179.6% = -37.9% × 0.27 × 17.45
2025Q1 197.4% = -83.6% × 0.15 × -15.51

ROE edged up from -179.6% to 197.4%, but the main driver was not core operations.

Net margin: -83.6% -45.7pp Asset turnover: 0.15x -0.12x Leverage: -15.51x -32.96x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin fell to -83.63%, losing 79.7pp. The main pressure comes from Gross margin fell 27.6pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 8.8pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 43.3pp).

Margin is under pressure from multiple sides — temporary and structural components need to be separated to properly assess the risk.

Profitability trend

Net Margin -83.63% −79.7pp
Gross Margin -25.94% −27.6pp
SG&A / Revenue 11.30% +8.8pp
Non-core / Revenue -46.38% −43.3pp

TTM YoY · 2023Q3 -> 2025Q1

Watchpoints

Financial result share remains high

Even though contribution decreased by 43.3pp, financial result still accounts for 55.5% of PBT — earnings durability should be monitored in coming periods.

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.

Balance Sheet

ROIC for construction contractors swings with project progress and handover cycles — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is notably light for construction contractors — liabilities at -5.83x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 2.72x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 35.2bn, roughly 37.9% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.0bn of cash.

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 1050.9 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 673.4 days, DSO rose 603.0 days, and DPO rose 225.6 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.

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 1200.9 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +603.0 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 4.6bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at -2.72x and interest coverage only at -1.74x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 3.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 60.6bn.

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 -1.74x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Net Debt / Equity -2.72x −11.47x
Interest Coverage -1.74x −0.60x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 4.6bn in 2024, against investing cash flow of 11.6bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +16.2bn. Financing cash flow was negative +11.9bn.

CFO / net income was -0.34x.

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 79.7 pp. The next watchpoint is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 55.5%.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 55.5% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -0.34x.

Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at -83.63% after a 79.7pp decline versus the same period last year.
