Specifically, DXS’s net revenue in 2023 only reached nearly 2 trillion dong, a 52% decrease compared to the previous year. The reason is due to a sharp decrease in revenue from real estate services such as brokerage, which was only about 648 billion dong, while it was over 2.3 trillion dong the previous year.

Not only net revenue, but also a decrease in deposit interest income has caused DXS’s financial revenue to decrease by 13% to nearly 48 billion dong. On the other hand, the Company incurred a loss from associated companies and joint ventures of over 107 billion dong, while there was no such item in 2022.

As a result, DXS had a net loss of over 168 billion dong in 2023, marking the first year of reporting a loss since 2018.

The situation in the fourth quarter of 2023 was also similar, with net revenue decreasing by nearly 478 billion dong and an additional loss of 91 billion dong from associated companies and joint ventures. After deducting all expenses, DXS had a net loss of nearly 114 billion dong.
