FECON CORPORATION ("FECON") hereby provides an official explanation regarding the discrepancy in the post-corporate income tax profit figures in the Consolidated and Parent company income statements between Q1/2025 and Q1/2024 as follows:
Indicator | Q1/2025 | Q1/2024 | Change (Q1/2025 vs. Q1/2024) | |
Variance (VND) | Percentage Change (%) | |||
Profit After Tax (Parent Company) | (13.450.500.789) | 441.487.228 | (13.891.988.017) | (3.146,63) |
Profit After Tax (Consolidated) | 1.048.589.896 | 635.441.931 | 413.147.966 | 65,02 |
Although the Parent Company's gross profit increased by VND 6,54 billion, the profit after tax still declined by VND 13,45 billion, primarily due to the following reasons:
-
Financial expenses during the period rose by VND 14,77 billion, equivalent to an increase of 70,39%, in which interest expenses increased by VND 11,09 billion (up 54,07%). The main reason is that in Q1/2024, the Company received large amounts of construction advance payments, which significantly reduced
bank borrowings. The average loan balance at the beginning and end of Q1/2024 was VND 1.062,86 billion, while in Q1/2025, it increased to VND 1.476,53 billion.
- Additionally, selling expenses and general & administrative expenses recorded slight increases of VND 237 million and VND 2,24 billion, respectively, due to increased personnel costs to support the Company's revenue growth objectives. The Consolidated Profit After Corporate Income Tax increased by VND 413,15 million, representing a growth of 65,02% year-over-year, mainly attributable to:
- Net revenue increased by VND 209,61 billion, equivalent to 34,18%, resulting in a corresponding rise in gross profit by VND 34,39 billion (up 35,53%). However, the increase in financial expenses and administrative costs across the entire group led to only a modest improvement in consolidated profit after tax.
Yours sincerely!
