According to the business report for the first 8 months of 2025, Mobile World Investment Corporation (HoSE: MWG) recorded a consolidated net revenue of VND 99,801 billion, a 13.5% increase compared to the same period in 2024. With this result, the company has achieved 67% of its annual revenue target of VND 150,000 billion.
Monthly revenue has shown steady growth over the past 6 months, rising from VND 11,600 billion in March to a peak of VND 13,300 billion in August. August’s figure not only marks the highest level in the first 8 months but also reflects a 16.7% growth compared to the same period in 2024 (VND 11,400 billion).
The two core retail chains, The Gioi Di Dong and Dien May Xanh, remain the primary growth drivers, contributing VND 67,000 billion to total revenue, a 14% increase year-over-year.
Notably, this growth stems from operational efficiency improvements, with same-store sales rising by 15%.
In August 2025 alone, these two chains generated nearly VND 9,000 billion in revenue, up 19% year-over-year and 3% compared to July 2025, marking the sixth consecutive month of positive growth.
In the food retail segment, Bach Hoa Xanh generated VND 30,500 billion in revenue after 8 months, a 14% increase year-over-year. Detailed monthly business results show that 2025 has set a new revenue benchmark for the chain, with monthly revenue ranging from VND 3,500 to 4,000 billion, significantly higher than previous years.
Specifically, August 2025 revenue reached VND 4,000 billion, up 8.1% from VND 3,700 billion in August 2024 and a significant 37.9% increase from VND 2,900 billion in August 2023. This trend confirms a return to growth in July and August after a slight decline in June (VND 3,700 billion), aligning with the company’s cost optimization efforts during the rainy season.
Alongside revenue growth, Bach Hoa Xanh has accelerated its expansion strategy by opening 463 new stores. According to MWG, these new stores have collectively achieved positive store-level profitability.
Other business segments also reported positive results. The EraBlue joint venture in Indonesia saw an over 70% year-over-year revenue increase for the first 8 months and has achieved company-level profitability.
The average revenue of the M store model in Indonesia is approximately VND 4 billion per month. The AVAKids chain also reported company-level profitability, with average store revenue nearing VND 1.8 billion per month. Meanwhile, the An Khang pharmacy chain recorded an average revenue of VND 530 million per store in August.
With the results achieved after 8 months, MWG is closing in on its 2025 business targets.
