Crystal Bay Vietnam’s financial picture witnessed significant fluctuations with a surge in both capital and debt. As of the end of June, equity stood at VND 344 billion, a more than 17-fold increase from the previous reporting period, attributed to the capital increase from VND 10 billion to VND 340 billion.

Concurrently, payables soared to over VND 1,000 billion, a 23-fold increase, including VND 740 billion in bonds. Bank loans amounted to VND 78 billion, and other debts totaled VND 208 billion.

The debt-to-equity ratio climbed from 2.25 to 2.98, and the debt-to-asset ratio increased to 0.75, higher than the previous 0.69. Liquidity ratios improved, with the current ratio at 1.9 and the quick ratio at 1.7. However, the interest coverage ratio declined from 138 to 0.79.

Currently, CBVN has issued CRB12501 bonds worth VND 755 billion with a five-year maturity. The initial interest rate is set at 9.5%/year, with interest payable every 24 months, and the bonds are asset-backed. The next interest payment is scheduled for June 27, 2027.

CBVN is a subsidiary of Crystal Bay Tourism Group, specializing in package tours and chartered flights for international guests. The company transitioned to a joint-stock model in April 2025, with a ownership structure comprising Crystal Bay (a company chaired by Mr. Nguyen Duc Chi, who also serves as its legal representative) holding 90%, Mr. Nguyen Duc Chi owning 5%, and Ms. Le Minh Ha holding the remaining 5%. On June 12, just over two weeks before the bond issuance, the chartered capital was raised to VND 340 billion. The company has three legal representatives: Mr. Nguyen Duc Chi – Chairman of the Board, Mr. Huynh Ngoc Duy – General Director, and Ms. Nguyen Thu Trang – Deputy General Director.

According to Saigon Ratings, CBVN caters to the package tour and chartered flight needs of international guests, primarily from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan. They are also expanding their reach to markets in Russia, Mongolia, Taiwan, and South Korea.

It’s worth noting that another company associated with Mr. Nguyen Duc Chi, Sunbay Ninh Thuan Joint Stock Company (SBPC), has also been incurring losses. For the first half of 2025, SBPC reported a record loss of over VND 289 billion, continuing a streak of unprofitable financial results since its initial public disclosure on HNX in 2021.
