What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VTH posted slightly higher revenue but margins narrowed — the two forces offset each other, leaving the overall picture largely unchanged — profit is at an all-time high. 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 13.5% = 1.4% × 1.83 × 5.14
2026Q1 10.2% = 1.1% × 1.45 × 6.44

ROE fell from 13.5% to 10.2% — asset turnover weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: 1.1% -0.3pp Asset turnover: 1.45x -0.38x Leverage: 6.44x +1.31x

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 narrowed to 1.09%, falling 0.3pp. The main pressure is Gross margin fell 1.4pp, outweighing the improvement in SG&A / Revenue fell 1.7pp (with lingering pressure from Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.7pp and Other profit / Revenue fell 0.1pp).

Margin is under pressure from multiple sides — temporary and structural components need to be separated to properly assess the risk.

SG&A / Revenue 3.90% −1.7pp

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency is declining — check whether the drag is from margins or turnover.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC narrowed to 2.35%, falling 1.4pp. That translates to 2.35 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin narrowed 0.3pp and capital turnover fell 0.54x, while invested capital expanded strongly by 224bn — pressure came from both operational efficiency and asset efficiency.

Both margin and turnover weakened — this is a broad-based decline, and cyclical versus structural components need to be separated.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently 2.35% — 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 2.35% −1.4pp
NOPAT Margin 1.19% −0.3pp
Capital Turnover 1.98x −0.54x
Average Invested Capital 579.0bn +224.2bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Leverage is very high, with clear pressure on the capital structure — liabilities at 6.03x equity, net debt at 4.20x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 195.3bn, roughly 25.4% of total assets.

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

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 3.5 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 0.1 days, DSO rose 3.9 days, and DPO rose 0.3 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower receivables collection — receivables quality needs monitoring.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 100.6 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +3.9 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 4.20x and interest coverage only at 0.56x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 73.9% of total debt, cash equals 3.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 625.3bn.

Watchpoints

Net leverage is elevated

Net debt / equity stands at 4.20x, increasing balance-sheet pressure.

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.56x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 4.20x +1.11x
Interest Coverage 0.56x −0.42x
Cash / Debt 3.5% −0.2pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 73.9% −18.7pp
CFO / NI -4.27x −21.14x

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Flow

Leverage needs watching — cash flow below shows the ability to service debt from operations. Operating cash flow reached 24.7bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -250.5bn.

Post-investment cash flow was negative +225.8bn. Financing cash flow was positive +228.4bn.

CFO / net income was -4.27x.

Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.

Cash capex or FCF data is incomplete, so the cash-conversion view is only partial.

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 earnings conversion is confirmed, with CFO/NI at -4.27x. The next item to monitor is cash generation still needs confirmation. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 2.4%.

Improvement: earnings conversion looks more confirmed, with CFO / net income at -4.27x.

Watchpoint: Cash generation still needs confirmation.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
