What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VCM 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, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this needs monitoring in coming periods.

Is the profit sustainable?

Accounting profit is positive but operating cash flow has not caught up — needs more time to confirm.

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 11.54%, rising 8.3pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 8.1pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 4.2pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 1.4pp and Other profit / Revenue fell 0.6pp).

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.

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.21x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.05x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 45.6bn, roughly 15.9% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 30.4bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables and lower inventories.

Working Capital Drivers

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +11.3bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +6.9bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +12.2bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 40.7 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 4.1 days, DSO fell 50.3 days, and DPO fell 5.4 days.

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

Watchpoints

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +4.1 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Cash Conversion Cycle 67.6 days −40.7 days

Is financial risk significant?

Leverage is safe but FCF is negative at 120.1bn due to capex of 15.0bn — an investment choice, not an urgent risk.

Leverage & Liquidity

Track net leverage, interest coverage, and the liquidity buffer on the balance sheet.

Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.

Some leverage signals are missing, so the current read should be treated as contextual.

Investment Takeaway

The business is heading the right way, but the current picture is still at partial confirmation — not yet a fully clean case. The positive points have clearly improved, showing the operating base is better than before. The brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 8.3 pp. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency. The main risk still sits in self-funded cash generation remains weak.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 11.54% after expanding 8.3pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.

Key risk: self-funded cash generation remains weak, with trailing-12M FCF still at 120.1bn.
