What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VPS is improving on both revenue and margins, suggesting current growth is backed by both scale and operating efficiency — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. The next test will be whether this pace holds as the comparison base gets tougher.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 5.1% = 3.2% × 1.09 × 1.46
2026Q1 8.9% = 4.5% × 1.37 × 1.45

ROE rose from 5.1% to 8.9% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 4.5% +1.3pp Asset turnover: 1.37x +0.28x Leverage: 1.45x -0.01x

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 edged up to 4.48%, rising 1.3pp. Core operating signals are improving as SG&A / Revenue fell 5.3pp are enough to offset pressure from Gross margin fell 6.0pp (with additional support from Other profit / Revenue rose 0.8pp and Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.6pp).

Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.

SG&A / Revenue 20.89% −5.3pp

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital is being used more efficiently — ROIC rose and cash cycle shortened to 175.4 days.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 7.67%, rising 2.5pp. That translates to 7.67 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 0.6pp and capital turnover rose 0.40x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — capital-return quality improved from both sides.

Both margin and turnover contributed — the improvement has a dual foundation and is more durable than a single-pillar expansion.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 7.67% +2.5pp
NOPAT Margin 3.73% +0.6pp
Capital Turnover 2.05x +0.40x
Average Invested Capital 332.3bn +8.3bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.54x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.05x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 103.3bn, roughly 19.0% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 15.1bn 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

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −48.4bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +14.5bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +18.8bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 42.4 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 41.0 days, DSO fell 22.6 days, and DPO fell 21.2 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster inventory turnover — watch whether this trend persists in coming periods.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 175.4 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 136.2 days −22.6 days

Cash Conversion Cycle 175.4 days −42.4 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 15.4bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage is balanced for now, with net debt / equity at -0.05x and interest coverage at 2.93x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 139.7% of debt, and total debt stands at 41.9bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Investment Takeaway

The business is entering a broader improvement phase — not just stronger earnings but better operating quality as well. Margin, ROIC, and cash flow all improving shows the business is growing in a cleaner and more efficient way than before. Notably, the improvement trend has been confirmed across multiple cycles, from margin to capital efficiency and cash generation. Even so, the earnings mix remains the area to verify in upcoming periods, when non-core contribution is 16.6%. The residual risk still sits in working capital is tied up too long in the operating cycle, with CCC extended to 175 days.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 4.48% after expanding 1.3pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 16.6% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.78x.

Key risk: working capital remains tied up for too long, with cash cycle at 175.4 days.
