Most expenses of HHV for the quarter decreased, but not enough for HHV to show growth compared to the same period last year. As a result, Deo Ca reported a net profit of over VND 51 billion for the fourth quarter, a decrease of 17%.
For the full year of 2023, HHV recorded net revenue of nearly VND 2,687 billion, a 28% increase, and net profit of nearly VND 320 billion, a 21% increase compared to the same period last year. With these results, the company exceeded its full-year after-tax profit target by 7%.

Explaining the above results, HHV stated that in 2023, the company’s main activities, toll collection for BOT projects and construction activities, both recorded revenue growth compared to the same period last year. Among them, toll revenue reached over VND 1,572 billion, an increase of 6%, thanks to the increase in traffic volume after the period affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
In addition, HHV also benefited greatly from infrastructure investment in 2023 by winning bids for several projects with large construction values. Specifically, the Quang Ngai – Hoai Nhon expressway project with a construction value of over VND 14,400 billion; the Cam Lam – Vinh Hao expressway project is preparing to operate in the second quarter of 2024, and the coastal road projects through various localities also contributed to strong growth in construction revenue.
Last December, HHV also approved the participation in investment, construction, and operation management of the Dong Dang Expressway project (Lang Son province) – Tra Linh (Cao Bang province) Phase 1 under the public-private partnership (PPP) format. In which, phase 1 covers about 93.35 km with a total investment of over VND 14,000 billion (the investor will raise nearly VND 7,000 billion, and the rest will be state capital). The project implementation period for phase 1 is from 2020 – 2025, and phase 2 will be after 2025.
In the 2024-2025 period, HHV aims for net revenue of VND 2,915 billion and VND 3,326 billion, respectively. The after-tax profit during this period is expected to be VND 448 billion and VND 532 billion.
