The company posted a loss of VND91 billion, its seventh losing quarter in a row, increasing the chances of being delisted from the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE).
Months of strict social distancing in HCMC, where the company mostly operates, have caused revenue to plunge due to restrictions on public transport.
In the first nine months, revenue fell by nearly half year-on-year to VND400 billion. It subsequently recorded a loss of VND188 billion.
In the next 12 months, the company needs to pay nearly VND100 billion in loans.
