What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VAV is retaining some revenue, but margins are collapsing sharply — profit momentum has been slowing across consecutive periods. Costs or the profit mix are deteriorating faster than revenue is declining — this is the factor to watch ahead of everything else.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE fell from 35.4% to 17.8% — all three components weakened, with asset turnover being the main drag.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin fell to 13.14%, losing 8.8pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 12.1pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 0.6pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.6pp).
The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.
Profitability trend

Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency for utilities should be read alongside regulated tariffs and long-cycle depreciation — ROIC of 30.8% reflects a large fixed-asset base.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC fell to 30.79%, losing 25.0pp. That translates to 30.79 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin narrowed 8.7pp and capital turnover fell 0.21x, while invested capital rose by 56bn — pressure came from both operational efficiency and asset efficiency.
For utilities, ROIC reflects returns on a large fixed-asset base — this is a reference signal and should be read alongside regulated tariffs.

Balance Sheet
ROIC for utilities reflects a large fixed-asset base and regulated tariffs — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.55x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.38x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 32.6bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and higher payables. Pressure from higher inventories only partly offset that benefit.
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 7.2 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 2.7 days, DSO fell 1.5 days, and DPO rose 8.4 days.
Extended payment timing is the main driver — consider whether this trades off supplier relationships.
For utilities, working capital cycle reflects regulated pricing mechanics and long-term settlement contracts — DSO/DIO/DPO should be treated as contextual signals rather than pure efficiency indicators.
Watchpoints
DIO increased by +2.7 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 140.4bn.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.38x and interest coverage at 35.11x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 14.9% of total debt, cash equals 334.6% of debt, and total debt stands at 141.4bn.
Leverage for utilities reflects long-term capital needs for fixed assets and recovery through regulated pricing — elevated leverage is structural to the industry.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 140.4bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -217.5bn.
Post-investment cash flow was negative +77.1bn. Financing cash flow was negative +2.6bn.
CFO / net income was 1.45x.
After spending +206.6bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +7.1bn.
For utilities, high capex and long investment cycles are structural — short-term FCF volatility does not reflect long-term cash generation through regulated pricing.

Investment Takeaway
The business is under real pressure, but the current picture has not turned broadly adverse. A notable area has clearly weakened, making the near-term outlook hard to call bright; even so, other parts of the business are still holding up, with margins remain under pressure remaining the main constraint, with net margin down 8.8 pp. The next watchpoint is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 30.8%. The main offsetting support comes from earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 1.45x.
Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 1.45x.
Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 13.14% after a 8.8pp decline versus the same period last year.
