What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VE3 is maintaining revenue, but margins are compressing slightly — profit momentum has been slowing 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

2025Q1 1.8% = 0.2% × 1.00 × 8.08
2026Q1 0.8% = 0.1% × 0.92 × 7.14

ROE fell from 1.8% to 0.8% — leverage weakened the most.

Net margin: 0.1% -0.1pp Asset turnover: 0.92x -0.08x Leverage: 7.14x -0.94x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin stands at 0.13%, broadly flat versus the same period. Supportive factors and pressure points are offsetting one another.

Margin is nearly flat but the underlying components are moving — this is a transitional phase, more time is needed to see the real trend.

Is capital being used efficiently?

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

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.

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. Leverage runs above the construction contractors average — project acceptance cycles warrant monitoring — liabilities at 4.62x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.25x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 58.7bn, roughly 26.0% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.0bn of cash.

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 25.5 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 19.5 days, DSO fell 17.3 days, and DPO rose 27.7 days.

Extended payment timing is the main driver — consider whether this trades off supplier relationships.

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 96.6 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +19.5 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at -0.25x and interest coverage only at 0.22x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 6.9% of total debt, cash equals 987.0% of debt, and total debt stands at 1.1bn.

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 0.22x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow reached -21.8bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 0.2bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +21.6bn. Financing cash flow was positive +33.5bn.

CFO / net income was -130.27x.

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 a few weaker signals, but the current magnitude is not yet clear enough to conclude that this is a broader weakening phase. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 18.5%. The main risk still sits in leverage and liquidity, with interest coverage at 0.22x.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 18.5% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -130.27x.

Key risk: leverage and liquidity still require discipline, with interest coverage only at 0.22x.
