What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VC1 is improving on both growth and profitability, painting a notably more positive picture versus the same period — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. When both scale and efficiency improve together, this is typically a sign of quality growth.

Drivers of VC1's profit

TTM

Gross profit ↑ 7.9bn
Finance costs ↓ 2.4bn
Financial income ↑ 1.1bn
Tax ↓ 1.0bn
TTM

Tax ↓ 0.2bn
Finance costs ↓ 0.1bn
Other profit ↑ 0.1bn
Gross profit ↓ 0.3bn

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 1.5% = 0.7% × 0.68 × 3.08
2026Q1 2.7% = 1.1% × 0.82 × 2.89

ROE rose from 1.5% to 2.7% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 1.1% +0.4pp Asset turnover: 0.82x +0.14x Leverage: 2.89x -0.19x

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 1.13%, rising 0.4pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 0.5pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 1.3pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.8pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 0.2pp).

Margin improves from both core operations and non-core items — the core foundation is positive, but the sustainability of non-core contributions needs monitoring.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency for construction contractors should be read alongside project progress and receivables collection from developers — ROIC of 1.9% fluctuates with handover cycles.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC edged up to 1.92%, rising 0.7pp. That translates to 1.92 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 0.4pp and capital turnover rose 0.15x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — capital-return quality improved from both sides.

For construction contractors, ROIC moves with backlog and project acceptance timing — this is a reference signal and should be read alongside working-capital cycles.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 1.92% +0.7pp

Capital Turnover 1.55x +0.15x
Average Invested Capital 387.7bn +15.4bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC for construction contractors swings with project progress and handover cycles — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Capital structure is relatively light for construction contractors — liabilities at 1.83x equity, net debt at 0.54x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 203.2bn, roughly 27.9% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 15.0bn 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

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +152.1bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +11.3bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −178.5bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 31.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 12.1 days, DSO fell 36.2 days, and DPO fell 16.6 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.

For construction contractors, DSO/DIO/DPO/CCC can be distorted by project progress, work-in-progress receivables, and milestone acceptance timing — these metrics should be read alongside developer payment cycles.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 200.0 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 128.7 days −36.2 days
Inventory 148.8 days −12.1 days
Payables 77.5 days −16.6 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 200.0 days −31.7 days

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.54x and interest coverage only at 1.18x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 7.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 149.9bn.

Leverage for construction contractors fluctuates with project working capital, performance guarantees, and progress receivables — should be read alongside receivables quality and developer payment cycles.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 1.18x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

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

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.54x +0.04x
Interest Coverage 1.18x +0.40x
Cash / Debt 7.3% +5.6pp

CFO / NI 0.52x +1.65x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 72.9bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -8.4bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +64.5bn. Financing cash flow was negative +37.0bn.

CFO / net income was 0.52x.

Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.

For construction contractors, FCF swings sharply with project progress and payment cycles — should be read alongside backlog and receivables quality.

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing brightening signals, but the improvement is still early and not yet thick enough to read as a confirmed trend. The brighter spot is earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 0.52x. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 1.9%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 1.18x.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 0.52x.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 1.18x.
