Service-related profits rose by 16%, totaling over VND 9 billion.

Other operational profits saw a minor 1% decrease, settling at approximately VND 44 billion.

Operational expenses for the quarter increased marginally by 1%, reaching VND 161 billion. Consequently, net profit from business operations plummeted by 33%, amounting to just over VND 94 billion.
