What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VMS posted slightly higher revenue but margins narrowed — the two forces offset each other, leaving the overall picture largely unchanged — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. More notably, a significant portion of profit is supported by non-core sources, further affecting earnings quality.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE is broadly flat at 10.0% — the components are offsetting one another.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin fell to 4.85%, losing 1.6pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 0.9pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 0.4pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 1.5pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 3.0pp remained a drag).
The pressure comes from non-core items while core operations hold their rhythm — margin has a basis to recover once this factor passes.

Watchpoints
Even though contribution decreased by 1.6pp, other income still accounts for 42.5% of PBT — earnings durability should be monitored in coming periods.
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 0.66x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.22x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 2.0bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables. Part of that drag was offset by lower inventories and higher payables.
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 19.6 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 2.1 days, DSO fell 15.1 days, and DPO rose 2.4 days.
All 3 drivers (collection, inventory, payables) are improving — working capital turnover is strengthening across the board.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 11.3bn.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.22x and interest coverage at 13.83x.
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
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 11.3bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 40.5bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +51.8bn. Financing cash flow was negative +7.2bn.
CFO / net income was 0.77x.
After spending +11.4bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +0.6bn.

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 1.6 pp. The next watchpoint is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 11.8%. The main offsetting support comes from balance-sheet flexibility, with net cash/equity at about -0.22x.
Improvement: the balance sheet remains flexible, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.22x of equity.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 11.8% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.77x.
Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 4.85% after a 1.6pp decline versus the same period last year.
