What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, VTO has not accelerated revenue, but profitability is improving more visibly — earnings have been recovering gradually over multiple periods. The positive sign is better operations, though this signal only becomes convincing if accompanied by a revenue recovery.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 8.1% = 8.5% × 0.71 × 1.35
2026Q1 10.2% = 11.0% × 0.71 × 1.30

ROE rose from 8.1% to 10.2% — mainly driven by net margin, despite leverage moving in the opposite direction.

Net margin: 11.0% +2.6pp Asset turnover: 0.71x +0.00x Leverage: 1.30x -0.05x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are improving and earnings quality is solid — a durable foundation for ROE.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 11.03%, rising 2.6pp. Core operating signals are improving as Gross margin rose 4.8pp are enough to offset pressure from SG&A / Revenue rose 2.8pp (in addition, Net financial result / Revenue rose 2.2pp added support while Other profit / Revenue fell 0.9pp remained a drag).

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?

Return on capital rose, but cash cycle lengthened by 5.0 days — working capital needs watching.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC expanded to 21.73%, rising 6.4pp. That translates to 21.73 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main driver is NOPAT margin rose 3.2pp, with capital turnover broadly stable; with invested capital holding roughly steady.

Capital efficiency improved through NOPAT margin — this is a quality-led improvement when operating profit leads.

Capital Turnover 1.97x −0.00x

Balance Sheet

ROIC is improving — the asset structure below shows how capital is being allocated. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.31x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.47x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 15.1bn of cash, mainly because of higher inventories and lower payables. Part of that drag was offset by lower receivables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +13.0bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −22.7bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −5.4bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 5.0 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 6.7 days, DSO fell 0.2 days, and DPO rose 1.5 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle is lengthening

CCC is up by +5.0 days, indicating weaker working-capital turnover versus the prior year.

Inventory turnover is slowing

DIO increased by +6.7 days, suggesting more capital is being tied up in inventories.

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 218.2bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at -0.47x and interest coverage at 13.35x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 39.2% of total debt, cash equals 609.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 111.9bn.

Investment Takeaway

The business is heading the right way, but the current picture is still at partial confirmation — not yet a fully clean case. The positive points have clearly improved, showing the operating base is better than before. The brighter spot is operating efficiency, with net margin improving 2.6 pp. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 16.0%.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 11.03% after expanding 2.6pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 1.76x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 16.0% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
