What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VNG is improving on both growth and profitability, painting a notably more positive picture versus the same period — profit is at an all-time high. However, operating cash flow is significantly negative relative to profit — this needs monitoring in coming periods.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 0.3% = 0.4% × 0.18 × 3.70
2026Q1 1.1% = 1.7% × 0.17 × 3.87

ROE rose from 0.3% to 1.1% — mainly driven by leverage, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 1.7% +1.3pp Asset turnover: 0.17x -0.00x Leverage: 3.87x +0.17x

Is the profit sustainable?

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

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin edged up to 1.69%, rising 1.3pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 9.4pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 0.0pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 9.5pp and Other profit / Revenue fell 0.5pp).

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?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC currently stands at 0.40%. Track NOPAT margin and capital turnover to assess capital efficiency.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently 0.40% — 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 0.40%
NOPAT Margin 2.03%
Capital Turnover 0.20x −0.01x
Average Invested Capital 3,690.3bn +245.7bn

Balance Sheet

Leverage is very high, with clear pressure on the capital structure — liabilities at 2.91x equity, net debt at 2.52x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 167.6bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables. Part of that drag was offset by lower inventories and higher payables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −244.7bn
Inventories decreased → higher CFO: +3.1bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +73.9bn

Working Capital Efficiency

The inventory build-up noted above is reflected in a longer cash cycle. Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 5.1 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 0.8 days, DSO rose 3.2 days, and DPO fell 1.1 days.

All 3 drivers are deteriorating — working capital is becoming more deeply tied up in the operating cycle.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle is lengthening

CCC is up by +5.1 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +3.2 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 47.5 days +3.2 days
Inventory 7.7 days +0.8 days
Payables 86.2 days −1.1 days
Cash Conversion Cycle -31.0 days +5.1 days

Is financial risk significant?

High leverage combined with negative operating cash flow — this area needs close monitoring.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 2.52x and interest coverage only at 0.20x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 29.7% of total debt, cash equals 0.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 2,771.4bn.

Watchpoints

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 2.52x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.20x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 2.52x +0.25x
Interest Coverage 0.20x +0.05x
Cash / Debt 0.5% −1.2pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 29.7% +1.3pp
CFO / NI -32.63x −132.16x

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Flow

High leverage combined with cash flow below reveals the actual liquidity pressure. Operating cash flow reached -70.1bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -231.6bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +301.7bn. Financing cash flow was negative +233.7bn.

CFO / net income was -32.63x.

After spending +176.7bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of −582.8bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 406.1bn −762.2bn
Cash Capex 176.7bn +43.0bn
FCF TTM −582.8bn −805.2bn

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 brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 1.3 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 20.0%. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 0.4%.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 1.69% after expanding 1.3pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: the earnings mix still needs monitoring, with net financial result still accounting for 20.0% of PBT and CFO / net income currently at -32.63x.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
