A Profitable Retreat: TIG Eyes Exit from Hungarian Subsidiary After Q2 Profits Plummet Nearly 90%

The Thang Long Investment Group JSC (HNX: TIG) has announced its decision to divest its entire stake in real estate firm REG in Hungary. This move comes amidst a sharp decline in second-quarter profits, plunging nearly 90% from the previous year's figures to just over $3.3 million.

On August 20, TIG’s Board of Directors approved the transfer of its entire investment in RE-G Ingatlanhasznosító Korlátolt FelelõsségÅ© Társaság (REG Real Estate LLC), headquartered at 9 Berzenczey Street, 1094 Budapest, Hungary.

The transaction is expected to be completed in the third or fourth quarter of 2025, with the price determined by market value to maximize benefits for TIG. The transferee is an investor or group of investors who meet the criteria in terms of price and conditions as stipulated by Vietnamese and Hungarian laws.

As of the end of 2024, REG Real Estate had a charter capital of 3 million HUF (equivalent to over 230 million VND), wholly owned by TIG. Its main business lines include real estate development, buying and selling of private assets, and leasing and operating owned and leased properties.

Notably, despite its relatively small scale, this company was recognized by TIG as having a commercial advantage of nearly VND 23 billion as of Q2 2025, a 6% decrease compared to the beginning of the year.

In addition to REG Real Estate, TIG also owns another legal entity in Hungary, TLG International LLC, established in April 2023 with a charter capital of 3 million HUF, wholly owned by TIG. This company specializes in real estate business operations, including Airbnb rental services (an online platform for finding accommodation).

Moreover, TIG also maintains another branch in Hungary with a charter capital of 500 thousand HUF (nearly VND 40 million). This branch primarily engages in real estate trading and related activities.

As of the end of June 2025, TIG’s total assets in this European country amounted to nearly VND 105 billion, accounting for approximately 3% of the group’s capital.

For the year 2025, TIG continues to develop the European residential real estate market with a series of projects and products in Budapest, Hungary, catering to the needs of Vietnamese and foreign investors looking to invest in European real estate. This includes exploring residency-by-investment programs and generating rental income.

The company is also researching the deployment of residency-by-investment real estate products and residency permits in Europe, thereby opening up opportunities for foreign investment cooperation in Hungary, Slovenia, Germany, and Bulgaria.

In addition to its Hungarian entities, TIG also owns Thang Long Phu Tho Investment Joint Stock Company with a charter capital of VND 640 billion, focusing on accommodation services and real estate, and Cherry Blossom Real Estate Joint Stock Company with a capital of VND 350 billion.

TIG’s decision to divest from REG Real Estate comes amid the company’s lackluster performance in Q2 2025, with a revenue of over VND 259 billion, a 17% decrease compared to the same period last year. Hungary contributed over VND 32 billion, equivalent to 12% of the total revenue.

Net profit plunged by 89%, amounting to nearly VND 8 billion. The company attributed this decline to a decrease in financial revenue and a commercial advantage arising from the acquisition of Cherry Blossom Company in Q4 2024, which impacted profits.

TIG’s Financial Performance from 2020 to 2025

In the first half of 2025, revenue reached nearly VND 642 billion, and net profit was over VND 46 billion, a decrease of 11% and 61%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2024. Compared to the set plan, TIG achieved 63% of its revenue target but only a quarter of its profit target.
