The Annual General Meeting of DPH for 2024 approved a dividend payout ratio of 17%, unchanged from 2023. This is also the highest dividend ratio the Company has offered in the past nine years. DPH increased the dividend ratio for shareholders due to record-high net profit in 2023.
DPH’s Financial Performance over the Years |
In 2023, DPH’s net revenue decreased by 5% year-on-year to nearly VND 189 billion. However, thanks to a faster reduction in cost of goods sold (down 10%) compared to revenue, gross profit increased by 8% to over VND 51 billion. Moreover, financial income (interest income/expense) rose by 21% year-on-year to nearly VND 10 billion, contributing to a 14% increase in net profit to nearly VND 26 billion.
For the fiscal year 2024, DPH targets total revenue of VND 200 billion (including domestic business and industrial production), a modest 7% increase compared to 2023 results. However, the Company expects net profit to grow at a higher rate than revenue, aiming for a profit increase similar to that of 2023 (14%).
