▲▲ Improving positively
Trailing net profit reached 4,187.8bn, rose 3,558.9bn compared with the same period last year. Key positives came from higher financial income, lower deferred tax, and higher gross profit. Offsetting pressure came mainly from higher tax. Detailed impact is shown below:

The current picture
What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VCG is improving on both revenue and margins, suggesting current growth is backed by both scale and operating efficiency — profit is at an all-time high. However, a significant portion of profit is supported by non-core sources, making the picture not entirely clear.

A closer look at what is happening inside the business
A company's statements are read with the questions that fit its type of business.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins improved (+19.2pp), but earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources — warrants closer scrutiny.
What is driving the margin?
▲▲Net margin expanded to 25.87%, rising 19.2pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 0.3pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 0.6pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 19.9pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.3pp remained a drag).
Most of the margin increase comes from non-core items — core operations have not kept pace, this is a margin expansion to watch carefully.
- Net Margin
- 25.87% +19.2pp
- Gross Margin
- 12.67% +0.3pp
- SG&A / Revenue
- 4.08% +0.6pp
- Non-core / Revenue
- 19.65% +19.6pp
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Financial result accounts for 70.1% of PBT and lifted net margin by 19.6pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency for construction contractors should be read alongside project progress and receivables collection from developers — ROIC of 24.1% fluctuates with handover cycles.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
▲ROIC expanded to 24.08%, rising 19.7pp. That translates to 24.08 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin rose 19.5pp and capital turnover rose 0.24x, 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.
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 1.51x equity, net debt at 0.39x equity.
Owner advances stand at 3,509.6bn (as of 2026Q1) — the contractor is funded along the contract schedule, easing the pressure to self-finance working capital.
Owner advances: 3,509.6bn · YoY +154.9bn
Advances / receivables: 98.57% — funded vs stuck
The contractor's survival axis: site receivables 3,560.7bn vs equity 12,850.6bn — 27.71% of the capital base is sitting on job sites.
Receivables / equity: 27.71% · receivables YoY 51.93% · equity YoY 14.06%
DSO: 77 days
Sector note: contractor gross margins are THIN (12.67% TTM) by design — value lives in contract turnover and collection discipline, not margin. Do not compare with manufacturers.
Inventory ended the period at 5,656.6bn, roughly 18.1% of total assets.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 1,713.1bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower inventories and higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables only partly offset that benefit.
Working Capital Efficiency
▲Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 80.9 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 73.0 days, DSO fell 0.5 days, and DPO rose 7.4 days.
All 3 drivers (collection, inventory, payables) are improving — working capital turnover is strengthening across the board.
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.
CCC stands at 161.7 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.
DuPont
What drives ROE?
ROE rose from 7.8% to 36.3% — mainly driven by net margin, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.
Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.
Leverage & Liquidity
▲Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.39x and interest coverage at 11.25x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 74.0% of total debt, cash equals 30.1% of debt, and total debt stands at 7,085.9bn.
Leverage for construction contractors fluctuates with project working capital, performance guarantees, and progress receivables — should be read alongside receivables quality and developer payment cycles.
Short-term debt accounts for 74.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.
- Net Debt / Equity
- 0.39x −0.27x
- Interest Coverage
- 11.25x +8.48x
- Cash / Debt
- 30.1% +14.9pp
- Short-term Debt / Total Debt
- 74.0% +22.0pp
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Cash Flow
▲With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 2,838.6bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -2,710.0bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +128.6bn. Financing cash flow was negative +269.2bn.
CFO / net income was 0,56 lần.
After spending +619.3bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +1,725.0bn.
For construction contractors, FCF swings sharply with project progress and payment cycles — should be read alongside backlog and receivables quality.
In summary
Research synthesis
What this reporting period is showing
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 operating efficiency, with net margin improving 19.2 pp. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated.
- Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 25.87% after expanding 19.2pp versus the same period last year.
- Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 69.7% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at 0.56x.
What to verify next
Questions for the next period

Ability to hold margins around the current 25.87% level.
