KIS Vietnam reported impressive operating revenue of over VND 653 billion in Q2 2024, marking a 69% increase compared to the same period last year. With the exception of a decrease in profit from held-to-maturity (HTM) investments, all other segments contributed to this revenue growth.
The company’s key segments exhibited positive growth. Notably, profit from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) surged by 2.6 times year-over-year to nearly VND 356 billion. Lending and receivables income increased by 23%, reaching almost VND 157 billion, while securities brokerage revenue rose by 25% to nearly VND 112 billion.
Total operating expenses for Q2 amounted to nearly VND 447 billion, a 2.1-fold increase compared to the previous year. This significant rise was driven by an increase in all expense categories, predominantly the loss on FVTPL assets, which tripled from the same period last year to exceed VND 293 billion.
Additionally, another expense category that witnessed a notable surge was administrative expenses, which climbed by 71% to over VND 76 billion.
Despite the impressive revenue growth in Q2, the substantial increase in expenses caused a slight dip in KIS’s net profit, which decreased by 4% year-over-year to approximately VND 102 billion.
For the first half of 2024, the company’s cumulative net profit reached VND 256 billion, reflecting a robust 39% increase compared to the same period in 2023.
