What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VGP is maintaining revenue, but margins are compressing slightly — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. What remains unclear is whether this is a short-term fluctuation or costs are starting to outpace revenue.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 7.4% = 0.1% × 2.33 × 22.22
2026Q1 7.1% = 0.1% × 2.11 × 24.03

ROE is broadly flat at 7.1% — the components are offsetting one another.

Net margin: 0.1% -0.0pp Asset turnover: 2.11x -0.22x Leverage: 24.03x +1.82x

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 0.14%, 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?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC edged up to 1.20%, rising 0.5pp. That translates to 1.20 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is capital turnover rose 2.88x — the business is generating more revenue per unit of capital, with NOPAT margin steady; while invested capital contracted by 627bn.

Capital turnover improved — a positive signal on asset efficiency, but with ROIC still low, NOPAT margin also needs to lift in coming periods to produce meaningful returns.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently 1.20% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 1.20% +0.5pp
NOPAT Margin 0.14% +0.0pp
Capital Turnover 8.73x +2.88x
Average Invested Capital 1,402.9bn −627.5bn

Balance Sheet

Leverage is very high, with clear pressure on the capital structure — liabilities at 21.68x equity, net debt at 0.99x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 1,798.6bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower inventories and higher payables. Pressure from higher receivables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −948.7bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +5.4bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +2,741.8bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 2.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 0.0 days, DSO rose 15.9 days, and DPO rose 18.0 days.

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

Watchpoints

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +15.9 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 159.6 days +15.9 days
Inventory 0.1 days −0.0 days
Payables 91.8 days +18.0 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 67.9 days −2.0 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.99x and interest coverage only at 0.05x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 2.3% of debt, and total debt stands at 252.4bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.05x, 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 0.99x −7.84x
Interest Coverage 0.05x +0.00x
Cash / Debt 2.3% +2.1pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 100.0% 0.0pp
CFO / NI 105.99x +139.16x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 598.8bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 3.3bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +602.1bn. Financing cash flow was negative +666.2bn.

CFO / net income was 105.99x.

After spending +0.1bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +1,828.2bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 1,828.3bn +2,389.2bn
Cash Capex 0.1bn −0.0bn
FCF TTM +1,828.2bn +2,389.2bn

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 capital efficiency remains weak remaining the main constraint, with ROIC at 1.2%. The main offsetting support comes from earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 105.99x.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 105.99x.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
