The Vanishing Act: Unraveling the Mystery Behind DIC Corp’s Unscathed Profit Amidst Plummeting Revenue

After a thorough review, DIC Corp reported a significant drop in revenue, totaling VND 187 billion, resulting in a revised figure of VND 635 billion. Despite this decline, the company's net profit remained relatively unchanged at approximately VND 4 billion, largely due to deferred corporate income tax.

In the reviewed semi-annual consolidated financial statements, Joint Stock Corporation for Investment and Construction Development (DIC Corp, code DIG) recorded revenue of VND 635 billion, up 77% over the same period last year but down VND 187 billion compared to the self-prepared report.

After deducting cost of goods sold, gross profit reached VND 109 billion, up 47% over the same period but down VND 44 billion compared to the self-prepared report.

During the period, financial revenue reached VND 35 billion, an increase of VND 7 billion compared to the self-prepared report. Expenses remained relatively unchanged.

As a result, DIC Corp recorded a pre-tax profit of VND 22 billion, a decrease of VND 26 billion compared to the self-prepared report. Thanks to the deferred tax income of nearly VND 10 billion (down VND 8 billion compared to the self-prepared report), the post-tax profit before and after the review remained at nearly VND 4 billion, down 95% over the same period last year.

In 2024, DIC Corp targets revenue of VND 2,300 billion, up 72% over 2023; and pre-tax profit of VND 1,010 billion, six times the result of the previous year. Thus, after six months, the company has only achieved 28% of its revenue target and a meager 2% of its profit target.

As of June 30, 2024, DIC Corp’s total assets amounted to VND 18,461 billion, slightly higher than the self-prepared report figure of VND 18,444 billion. Short-term assets accounted for VND 16,702 billion, an increase of VND 5 billion compared to the self-prepared report. Long-term assets stood at nearly VND 1,759 billion, about VND 12 billion higher than the self-prepared figure.

Total liabilities were recorded at nearly VND 10,572 billion, an increase of about VND 17 billion compared to the self-prepared report. Financial borrowings remained unchanged, with VND 2,159 in short-term loans and VND 2,166 in long-term loans.

In late August, the company announced that the People’s Committee of Ha Nam province had issued a decision on land allocation (second phase) to DIC Corp for the implementation of the Lam Ha Center Point Residential Area project in Lam Ha ward, Phu Ly city. Accordingly, the legal procedures for the Lam Ha Center Point Residential Area project have been basically completed as stipulated.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, DIG will continue to expedite the relevant procedures to meet the construction conditions, including determining and fulfilling financial obligations related to land, obtaining land use right certificates and ownership of assets attached to the land, approving construction design drawings, and applying for construction permits.

Located in the planning area of Bac Chau Giang Urban Area, the Lam Ha Center Point Residential Area spans 13.6 hectares, with a total investment of VND 2,115.9 billion. This project is identified as one of DIC Corp’s key projects to be implemented during the period of 2021 – 2025.

The Lam Ha Center Point Residential Area is one of the projects that DIC Corp expects to generate revenue in 2024, along with the following: Eco-tourism Urban Area of Dai Phuoc (Dong Nai); New Urban Area of DIC Nam Vinh Yen City, Vinh Phuc; DIC Victory City Urban Area, Hau Giang; Hiep Phuoc Residential Area Project; Vung Tau Gateway Apartment Project; and CSJ Phase 1 Project.
