As of December 31, 2023, ND2 has only two major shareholders. The first is the Vietnam Construction and Import-Export Corporation (Vinaconex), which is the parent company and holds 51.1% of the capital, estimated to receive over VND 51 billion in dividends. The second largest shareholder is Toyota Tsuho Corporation, holding 35% of the shares and expected to earn nearly VND 35 billion.

ND2’s Business Results for the First Half of 2024

In terms of business performance, ND2 concluded the first half of 2024 with impressive figures, achieving VND 131 billion in net revenue, a 20% increase compared to the same period last year. Net profit reached over VND 36 billion, a staggering 56-fold increase from the previous year’s figure of approximately VND 600 million.

The Company’s explanation attributes these results to its business as a power producer (hydropower), where revenue heavily relies on hydrological conditions. The water flow into the reservoir during the first six months of 2024 was higher than the previous year, resulting in a significant increase in production. Consequently, the output for the first half of this year reached 142.96 million Kwh, compared to 113.47 million Kwh in the same period last year, representing an increase of 29.49 million Kwh. Additionally, a substantial 36% reduction in financial expenses (mainly interest expenses) contributed to the exponential growth in net profit.

Despite the remarkable improvement in financial performance, ND2 has only accomplished 35% of its revenue target and over 23% of its profit goal for the year, as per the growth plan (a 14% increase in net revenue and a 45% rise in post-tax profit compared to 2023 results) approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders.
