In the first quarter, IDICO recorded a 27% year-on-year decline in revenue, amounting to over VND 1,793 billion. This decrease was primarily due to a significant 67% drop in land and industrial infrastructure leasing activities, totaling VND 364 billion.
The investment real estate sector also witnessed a 35% downturn, reaching over VND 182 billion, while the electricity business shone with a 19% increase to nearly VND 816 billion. Financial revenue doubled from the previous year, surpassing VND 65 billion, but remained insignificant.

Total operating expenses for the period rose by 11% to over VND 141 billion, mainly driven by a substantial 45% surge in enterprise management expenses, totaling nearly VND 74 billion. This eroded IDC’s profit, which stood at over VND 343 billion, marking a 51% decrease compared to the previous year.
IDICO’s 2025 business plan is cautiously optimistic, targeting consolidated revenue of VND 8,918 billion and pre-tax profit of VND 2,596 billion, representing a 1% and 13% decline, respectively, from the previous year’s performance. After the first quarter, the company has achieved approximately 20% of its annual plan.
The company also aims to lease 123.5 hectares of industrial infrastructure land and nearly 33.3 thousand square meters of factory space. In 2024, IDICO leased over 100 hectares of industrial land and approximately 38.7 thousand square meters of factory space.
According to the company, this year’s profit decline is attributed to fluctuations in revenue from industrial infrastructure leasing contracts, which are subject to one-time recognition conditions as per regulations.

As of the end of March 2025, IDC’s total assets exceeded VND 19,410 billion, reflecting a 3% increase from the beginning of the year. This includes a substantial cash balance of nearly VND 2,300 billion, up by 5%. Held-to-maturity investments also rose by 28% to over VND 2,908 billion, predominantly comprising term deposits of over VND 2,700 billion. Inventory stood at over VND 1,352 billion, a 4% decrease, with the Hựu Thạnh worker housing project accounting for the majority at over VND 810 billion.
Payables totaled nearly VND 12,281 billion, a 6% increase. Advance payments from customers and unearned revenue accounted for nearly VND 6,136 billion, a slight 1% increase, constituting 50% of total liabilities. Financial borrowings amounted to VND 3,413 billion, a 9% increase, representing 28% of total liabilities.
During the Annual General Meeting of IDC held on April 25, 2025, General Director Đặng Chính Trung acknowledged the impact of global trade tensions on foreign investors’ decisions. While some investors with signed contracts continued their projects, those in the negotiation or deposit stage exhibited heightened caution.
Chairman Nguyễn Thị Như Mai conceded that Vietnam’s competitive edge among foreign investors is under pressure, sparking concerns about the prospects for industrial land leasing. However, she emphasized that this activity accounts for only about 39% of the company’s revenue, with the majority stemming from other sectors such as electricity and real estate, thus maintaining relative stability amidst market fluctuations.
