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
ROE rose from 0.3% to 1.1% — mainly driven by leverage, despite asset turnover moving in the opposite direction.
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 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 is currently 0.40% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.
CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

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
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
CCC is up by +5.1 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.
DSO increased by +3.2 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

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 debt / equity stands at 2.52x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.
Interest coverage is 0.20x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.
Leverage and liquidity trend
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.

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.
