VET
Vermilion Energy Inc. (VET) Business Model Analysis (2026)
Overall Score
Revenue Demand Quality
Revenue remains tied to commodity-linked upstream activity, so cash generation is still cyclical and sensitive to energy prices.
TTM revenue per share is 12.14 and price-to-sales is 1.27, indicating a reasonably valued but not high-growth business model.
Profitability Margins
Gross margin is 30.5% and operating margin is 24.6%, showing solid upstream operating leverage when conditions are favorable.
Net margin remains negative at -24.0% and pretax margin is -26.6%, reflecting earnings volatility and non-operating drag.
Cash Conversion Capital Intensity
Operating cash flow is strong at 6.02 per share and free cash flow is 2.21 per share, but capex still consumes 63.2% of operating cash flow.
Cash conversion cycle is -43.1 days, supported by payables leverage and efficient working capital management.
Balance Sheet Financial Flexibility
Net debt to EBITDA is 1.18x and debt to equity is 0.63x, which is manageable for a capital-intensive producer.
Current ratio is 1.00 and cash ratio is 0.14, leaving limited liquidity cushion despite acceptable leverage.
Shareholder Returns Capital Allocation
Dividend yield is 3.42% and dividend payout ratio is negative on trailing earnings, indicating the dividend is being supported by cash flow rather than accounting profit.
Free cash flow yield of 14.3% suggests the equity still offers meaningful cash return potential if commodity conditions hold.
