What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VFR is improving on both revenue and margins, suggesting current growth is backed by both scale and operating efficiency. However, profit is significantly supported by non-core sources and operating cash flow is not yet positive — the improvement signal needs more time to confirm.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 5.6% to 8.4% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.
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 21.22%, rising 4.3pp. The main driver is SG&A / Revenue fell 3.1pp and Gross margin rose 1.6pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 1.8pp).
Margin improves from both core operations and non-core items — the core foundation is positive, but the sustainability of non-core contributions needs monitoring.

Watchpoints
Financial result accounts for 74.5% of PBT and lifted net margin by 2.3pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency should be read in industry context — ROIC may fluctuate with business specifics.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.
Industry characteristics make ROIC cyclical — this is a reference signal and should be read with the business context.

Balance Sheet
ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.15x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.18x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 105.2bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories. Part of that drag was offset by higher payables.
Working Capital Drivers

Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 0.1 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 0.1 days, DSO fell 4.3 days, and DPO fell 4.2 days.
Working capital cycle is flat — components are offsetting each other.
Watchpoints
CCC is up by +0.1 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.
DIO increased by +0.1 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 128.9bn due to capex of 7.7bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.
Leverage & Liquidity
Track net leverage, interest coverage, and the liquidity buffer on the balance sheet.
Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.
Some leverage signals are missing, so the current read should be treated as contextual.

Cash Flow
Operating cash flow reached -24.3bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 155.9bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +131.6bn. Financing cash flow was negative +6.0bn.
CFO / net income was -4.46x.
After spending +7.7bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −128.9bn.

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 4.3 pp. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated. The main risk still sits in self-funded cash generation remains weak.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 21.22% after expanding 4.3pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 74.5% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -4.46x.
Key risk: self-funded cash generation remains weak, with trailing-12M FCF still at 128.9bn.
