Specifically, L14 recorded just over 1 billion VND in net revenue during Q3/2025, a 95% decline compared to the same period last year, primarily due to reduced revenue from goods exchange activities. Gross profit consequently dropped by 94%, reaching nearly 1 billion VND.

A bright spot for the company came from financial activities, with revenue increasing by 46% to nearly 4 billion VND, driven by higher interest income from deposits and securities investments. Additionally, financial expenses were reversed by nearly 6 billion VND, thanks to a provision reversal of over 6.2 billion VND for investment impairments.

Not only financial expenses but also selling and administrative costs were significantly reduced by L14, by nearly 100% and 64%, respectively. As a result, L14 achieved an after-tax profit of nearly 8 billion VND, a 4% increase.

Combined with the first half-year results, the company’s nine-month after-tax profit reached 21 billion VND, a 31% year-on-year increase. Notably, L14 has surpassed its 2025 target of 20 billion VND in after-tax profit by over 5%.

Within this, the value of trading securities rose by 23% to nearly 86 billion VND, while provisions related to this category narrowed from over 18 billion VND to nearly 9 billion VND. Conversely, short-term cash holdings decreased by 4% to 160 billion VND.
