A Glimpse Inside TNG’s Factory

The bonds issued in this tranche have a four-year term with interest payments made quarterly. The interest rate for the first four interest periods is set at 9.5% per annum and will subsequently float, referencing the average savings rate of state-owned banks plus a margin of 3.5% per annum.
The collateral for the bonds is 10 million TNG shares owned by Mr. Nguyen Van Thoi, the company’s chairman.
While the debt-to-equity ratio will increase, the long-term capital raised from the successful bond issuance can help balance the capital structure of the enterprise.
According to the offering registration, TNG plans to use the proceeds from the bond issuance to pay salaries to employees and purchase raw materials and services. This implies an increase in current assets.
As of the end of the third quarter of this year, TNG’s net working capital was negative, with short-term assets of VND 2.31 thousand billion and short-term liabilities of VND 2.57 thousand billion. In addition to the bonds, the company, headquartered in Thai Nguyen, also has significant bank borrowings, mostly short-term.
In terms of financial performance, TNG recorded record results in Q3 2024 in both revenue and profit.
