In Q4, GEG reported revenue of VND 569 billion, an increase of 15% compared to the same period. Gross profit, after deducting cost of goods sold, was VND 253 billion, a 14% increase.
The most notable performance indicator was the strong increase in financial revenue, reaching VND 63 billion, 2.6 times higher than the same period. Financial expenses increased by 27% to VND 226 billion. The company stated that the operation of the Tan Phu Dong 1 Wind Power Plant contributed to the revenue growth in the period, but also pushed up the interest expenses. However, the significant increase in financial revenue was due to additional income from stock transfer.
In addition, the company had other profits of nearly VND 2 billion (compared to a loss of over VND 9 billion in the same period). Overall, GEG achieved a net profit of VND 51 billion, 2.7 times higher than the same period.
The growth in Q4 helped improve the overall business performance of GEG for the year. By the end of 2023, GEG achieved nearly VND 2.2 trillion in revenue, a 3% increase compared to the previous year. Net profit and gross profit reached VND 143 billion and VND 137 billion, a respective decrease of 61% and 57%. Based on the approved plan of the 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, the company achieved 74% of the annual revenue target and nearly 93% of the net profit target for the year.
