What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VTZ posted slightly higher revenue but margins narrowed — the two forces offset each other, leaving the overall picture largely unchanged — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. More notably, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this is pressure that needs close monitoring.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE fell from 10.4% to 7.6% — leverage weakened the most, though asset turnover still provided support.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin narrowed to 1.30%, falling 0.6pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 0.5pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 0.4pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.3pp and Other profit / Revenue fell 0.0pp).
Margin is under pressure from multiple sides — temporary and structural components need to be separated to properly assess the risk.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency is declining — check whether the drag is from margins or turnover.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC narrowed to 2.53%, falling 1.4pp. That translates to 2.53 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin narrowed 0.5pp and capital turnover fell 0.18x, while invested capital expanded strongly by 841bn — 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 2.53% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

Balance Sheet
ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Leverage is very high, with clear pressure on the capital structure — liabilities at 2.76x equity, net debt at 2.51x equity.
Inventory ended the period at 1,033.6bn, roughly 31.6% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 316.1bn 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
Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 5.6 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 17.7 days, DSO fell 10.3 days, and DPO fell 22.4 days.
Extended payment timing is the main driver — consider whether this trades off supplier relationships.
Watchpoints
CCC stands at 117.3 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Is financial risk significant?
High leverage combined with negative operating cash flow — this area needs close monitoring.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 2.51x and interest coverage only at 0.67x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 98.6% of total debt, cash equals 4.6% of debt, and total debt stands at 2,336.5bn.
Watchpoints
Net debt / equity stands at 2.51x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Interest coverage is 0.67x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Leverage and liquidity trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Cash Flow
High leverage combined with cash flow below reveals the actual liquidity pressure. Operating cash flow reached -318.5bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -623.0bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +941.5bn. Financing cash flow was positive +715.6bn.
CFO / net income was -4.33x.
After spending +109.8bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −390.9bn.

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 cash generation. The next item to monitor is effective tax rate looks unusual, with effective tax rate at 30.8%. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 2.5%.
Improvement: cash generation is recovering, with trailing-12M FCF improving by 10.0bn versus the same period last year.
Watchpoint: the effective tax rate looks unusual, so current net profit may not fully reflect underlying earnings quality.
Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
