What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VEA is holding revenue at an acceptable level, but margins are eroding visibly — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. What is still missing is better cost control to prevent margin pressure from spreading to the overall profit result.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 26.6% to 28.0% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite net margin moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin fell to 167.96%, losing 2.3pp. The weakness is mainly from non-core drags (Net financial result / Revenue rose 1.8pp, Gross margin rose 0.2pp, and SG&A / Revenue fell 0.1pp still provides some support).
The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 191.3 days.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC edged up to 28.19%, rising 1.5pp. That translates to 28.19 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin narrowed 2.4pp, with capital turnover broadly stable; with invested capital holding roughly steady.
Capital efficiency improved through NOPAT margin — this is a quality-led improvement when operating profit leads.

Balance Sheet
ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.05x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.01x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 232.4bn 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 34.6 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 35.3 days, DSO fell 1.2 days, and DPO fell 1.9 days.
Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.
Watchpoints
CCC stands at 191.3 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Is financial risk significant?
Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 166.8bn due to capex of 110.2bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.01x and interest coverage at 1530.48x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 209.6% of debt, and total debt stands at 135.7bn.
Watchpoints
Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash Flow
Operating cash flow reached -82.7bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 6,309.3bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +6,226.6bn. Financing cash flow was negative +6,229.5bn.
CFO / net income was -0.01x.
After spending +110.2bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −166.8bn.

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 capital efficiency, with ROIC at 28.2%. The next item to monitor is effective tax rate looks unusual, with effective tax rate at 2.7%. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 2.3 pp.
Improvement: capital efficiency is improving, with trailing-12M ROIC at 28.19%, up 1.5pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: the effective tax rate looks unusual, so current net profit may not fully reflect underlying earnings quality.
Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 167.96% after a 2.3pp decline versus the same period last year.
