What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VOS posted a sharp profit increase versus the same period, suggesting a clear improvement from a low base — margins have been expanding consistently over multiple periods. 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 11.2% to 17.9% — mainly driven by leverage, despite asset turnover 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 10.83%, rising 6.6pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 8.1pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 1.6pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 1.8pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.9pp remained a drag).
The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Balance Sheet
ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.85x equity, net debt at 0.06x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 423.2bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories. Part of that drag was offset by higher payables.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 12.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 5.5 days, DSO rose 6.0 days, and DPO fell 1.2 days.
All 3 drivers are deteriorating — working capital is becoming more deeply tied up in the operating cycle.
Watchpoints
CCC is up by +12.7 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.
DSO increased by +6.0 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?
Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 1,108.2bn due to capex of 923.3bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage is balanced for now, with net debt / equity at 0.06x and interest coverage at 2.38x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 26.5% of total debt, cash equals 84.7% of debt, and total debt stands at 811.4bn.

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 6.6 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 0.3%. The main risk still sits in self-funded cash generation remains weak.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 10.83% after expanding 6.6pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 0.3% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -0.51x.
Key risk: self-funded cash generation remains weak, with trailing-12M FCF still at 1,108.2bn.
