What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VHL posted a sharp profit increase versus the same period, suggesting a clear improvement from a low base — this marks a reversal from the difficult phase before. The point still to be proven is whether this new profit level can hold once the low-base effect fades.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 -10.3% = -4.4% × 1.50 × 1.55
2026Q1 7.5% = 3.4% × 1.41 × 1.55

ROE rose from -10.3% to 7.5% — mainly driven by net margin, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 3.4% +7.9pp Asset turnover: 1.41x -0.09x Leverage: 1.55x +0.00x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 3.44%, rising 7.9pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 3.8pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.3pp (with additional support from Other profit / Revenue rose 2.0pp and Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.7pp).

Margin improves from both core operations and non-core items — the core foundation is positive, but the sustainability of non-core contributions needs monitoring.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Return on capital rose, but cash cycle lengthened by 8.4 days — working capital needs watching.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 7.22%, rising 11.4pp. That translates to 7.22 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 5.1pp, with capital turnover broadly stable; with invested capital holding roughly steady.

NOPAT margin expansion has lifted ROIC above the deposit-rate threshold but below typical cost of equity — more same-direction periods are needed to confirm a structural shift.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 7.22% +11.4pp
NOPAT Margin 3.23% +5.1pp
Capital Turnover 2.23x +0.01x
Average Invested Capital 480.1bn −40.9bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.53x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.01x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 311.9bn, roughly 40.6% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 3.5bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and higher payables. Pressure from higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +2.5bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −12.9bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +13.9bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 8.4 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 12.1 days, DSO fell 2.1 days, and DPO rose 1.5 days.

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

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 126.0 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +12.1 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Cash Conversion Cycle 126.0 days +8.4 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 69.8bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.01x and interest coverage at 23.93x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 96.1% of total debt, cash equals 107.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 57.0bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 96.1% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +32.1bn. Financing cash flow was negative +7.5bn.

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 7.9 pp. The next item to monitor is cash generation still needs confirmation. The main risk still sits in working capital is tied up too long in the operating cycle, with CCC extended to 126 days.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 3.44% after expanding 7.9pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: Cash generation still needs confirmation.

Key risk: working capital remains tied up for too long, with cash cycle at 126.0 days.
