What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VTX 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. The point still to be proven is whether this new profit level can hold once the low-base effect fades.

Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to -13.86%, rising 43.6pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 21.0pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 17.8pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with additional support from Other profit / Revenue rose 3.6pp).

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.

ROIC
NOPAT Margin
Capital Turnover 1.11x +0.13x
Average Invested Capital 132.7bn −51.6bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Leverage is elevated, requiring monitoring — liabilities at 2.84x equity, net debt at 1.41x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 6.7bn of cash, mainly thanks to higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables and higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −0.9bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −2.8bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +10.3bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 5.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 8.3 days, DSO rose 39.8 days, and DPO rose 25.7 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower receivables collection — receivables quality needs monitoring.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 175.3 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +39.8 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 3.7bn due to capex of 0.7bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 1.41x and interest coverage only at -3.75x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 88.8% of total debt, cash equals 10.9% of debt, and total debt stands at 81.7bn.

Watchpoints

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 1.41x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is -3.75x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Cash Flow

High leverage combined with cash flow below reveals the actual liquidity pressure. Operating cash flow reached -4.8bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -0.2bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +4.9bn. Financing cash flow was negative +0.1bn.

CFO / net income was 0.15x.

After spending +0.7bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −3.7bn.

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 43.6 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 16.7%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at -3.75x.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at -13.86% after expanding 43.6pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 16.7% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.15x.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at -3.75x.
