What Is Changing
On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VSI posted slightly higher revenue but margins narrowed — the two forces offset each other, leaving the overall picture largely unchanged — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. What remains unclear is which side will dominate in coming periods.

Financial Highlights
Detailed analysis of each financial dimension
ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier
ROE rose from 13.7% to 18.8% — mainly driven by asset turnover, despite net margin and leverage moving in the opposite direction.
Is the profit sustainable?
Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.
What is driving the margin?
Net margin fell to 6.58%, losing 3.1pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 11.2pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 6.0pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 1.5pp).
The pressure comes from core operations — this is a concerning type of decline, not a one-off movement.
Profitability trend
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Is capital being used efficiently?
Capital efficiency for construction contractors should be read alongside project progress and receivables collection from developers — ROIC of 15.9% fluctuates with handover cycles.
Is capital being deployed efficiently?
ROIC expanded to 15.94%, rising 4.9pp. That translates to 15.94 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. capital turnover rose 1.27x was enough to offset the contraction in NOPAT margin narrowed 3.1pp, with invested capital holding roughly steady.
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. Capital structure is relatively light for construction contractors — liabilities at 1.66x equity, net debt at 0.00x equity.
Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.0bn of cash.
Working Capital Drivers
TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1
Working Capital Efficiency
Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 23.8 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 27.7 days, DSO fell 50.2 days, and DPO fell 54.1 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.

Is financial risk significant?
Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.
Leverage & Liquidity
Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.00x and interest coverage at 5.96x.
At present, short-term debt accounts for 8.2% of total debt, cash equals 98.6% of debt, and total debt stands at 77.2bn.
Leverage for construction contractors fluctuates with project working capital, performance guarantees, and progress receivables — should be read alongside receivables quality and developer payment cycles.

Cash Flow
With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 69.5bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -2.6bn.
Post-investment cash flow was positive +67.0bn. Financing cash flow was negative +38.8bn.
CFO / net income was 3.27x.
After spending +4.2bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +123.4bn.
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 balanced but not yet fully stable — some components are moving the right way while others still need monitoring. This is a state to keep watching, with not enough signal to tilt the thesis either way. The brighter spot is earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at 3.27x. The next item to monitor is capital efficiency, with ROIC at 15.9%. The main risk still sits in core profitability, with net margin down 3.1 pp.
Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at 3.27x.
Watchpoint: Capital efficiency needs cycle context.
Key risk: profitability remains under pressure, with trailing-12M net margin at 6.58% after a 3.1pp decline versus the same period last year.
