What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VPA has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. More notably, profit relies heavily on non-core sources while operating cash flow is negative — these two factors together suggest earnings quality needs cautious evaluation.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE edged down from 88.1% to 26.7% — the components are broadly offsetting.
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 -15.22%, rising 20.1pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 15.7pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 0.3pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 5.3pp).
The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

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 -3.69x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 3.05x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 2.3bn of cash, mainly because of lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower receivables and lower inventories.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency

Watchpoints
CCC is up by +0.7 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.
DSO increased by +1.2 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 15.6bn.
Leverage & Liquidity

At present, short-term debt accounts for 3.8% of total debt, cash equals 2.7% of debt, and total debt stands at 277.0bn.
Watchpoints
Interest coverage is -0.85x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Cash / debt stands at 2.7%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

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 20.1 pp. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at -0.85x.
Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at -15.22% after expanding 20.1pp versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 93.4% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -0.70x.
Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at -0.85x.
