What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VNA has not accelerated revenue, but profitability is improving more visibly — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. However, most of the profit comes from non-core sources — this needs careful evaluation before concluding on growth quality.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 12.0% to 13.3% — mainly driven by leverage, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins improved (+2.8pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin expanded to 13.52%, rising 2.8pp. Core operating signals are improving as SG&A / Revenue fell 0.1pp are enough to offset pressure from Gross margin fell 2.4pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 7.5pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 1.7pp remained a drag).
Margin improves from both core operations and non-core items — the core foundation is positive, but the sustainability of non-core contributions needs monitoring.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Watchpoints
Other income accounts for 130.4% of PBT and lifted net margin by 5.9pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency is declining — check whether the drag is from margins or turnover.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC fell to -3.62%, losing 2.4pp. That translates to -3.62 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin narrowed 3.2pp and capital turnover fell 0.43x, while invested capital expanded strongly by 206bn — pressure came from both operational efficiency and asset efficiency.
Pressure came from the margin side — core operations are weakening, not just a temporary asset-management issue.
Watchpoints
ROIC is currently -3.62% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Balance Sheet
ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.63x equity, net debt at 0.18x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 16.3bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower inventories. Pressure from lower payables only partly offset that benefit.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 4.9 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 3.2 days, DSO rose 6.9 days, and DPO fell 1.2 days.
Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower receivables collection — receivables quality needs monitoring.
Watchpoints
CCC is up by +4.9 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.
DSO increased by +6.9 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?
Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 239.7bn due to capex of 276.0bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.18x and interest coverage only at -2.05x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 16.0% of total debt, cash equals 57.2% of debt, and total debt stands at 265.7bn.
Watchpoints
Interest coverage is -2.05x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 23.4bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -93.9bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +70.6bn. Financing cash flow was positive +109.8bn.
CFO / net income was 0.45x.
After spending +276.0bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −239.7bn.

Investment Takeaway
The business is showing a few weaker signals, but the current magnitude is not yet clear enough to conclude that this is a broader weakening phase. The brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 2.8 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is -4.5%. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at -3.6%.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 13.52% after expanding 2.8pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for -4.5% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.45x.
Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
