In other news, Becamex IDC has also approved a plan to issue bonus shares to pay dividends for the year 2024, as agreed upon at the 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. The company intends to issue 113.85 million shares, equivalent to 11% of the total circulating shares. The ratio for implementing the rights is 100:11, meaning that for every 100 shares owned, shareholders will receive 11 new shares.
The capital source for this issuance will come from undistributed post-tax profits on the audited financial statements for 2024. The expected timeline for the implementation is the second and third quarters of 2025.
Regarding its business performance in the first quarter of 2025, Becamex IDC recorded impressive results with consolidated revenue reaching nearly VND 1,843 billion, more than doubling the figure from the same period last year. Despite a significant increase in cost of goods sold, gross profit still managed to grow by 23% to VND 704 billion.
The real estate segment contributed significantly to the revenue, bringing in almost VND 1,427 billion, 3.2 times higher than the previous year. Financial income also saw a remarkable surge, reaching VND 102 billion, a 38-fold increase, thanks to profits from cooperation contracts and dividends. Additionally, the company earned VND 271 billion from its joint ventures and associates, a 4.5-fold increase compared to the first quarter of 2024.
Despite higher expenses, net profit for the period remained robust at over VND 358 billion, triple the amount from the previous year.
Looking ahead, Becamex IDC has set ambitious targets for 2025, aiming for consolidated revenue of VND 9,500 billion, a 29% increase from 2024, and net profit of VND 2,470 billion, a 3% improvement from the previous year’s performance.
