Hà Đô Group's business performance appears challenging as it experienced a decline in the third quarter.
In Q3 2023, the company recorded revenue of VNĐ459.56 billion, a decrease of 45.1 per cent compared to the same period last year. Profit after tax stood at VNĐ99.55 billion, down 67.9 per cent. The gross profit margin also declined from 60.5 per cent to 53.3 per cent.
Despite cost reductions in financial, sales, and corporate management areas, the sharp decline in gross profit contributed to the significant decrease in profit after tax during the period.
For the first nine months of 2023, Hà Đô Group's accumulated revenue reached VNĐ2 trillion, a decrease of 19 per cent compared to the same period last year. Profit after tax amounted to VNĐ533.32 billion, down 48.7 per cent.
As of September 30, 2023, the company's total assets had decreased by 3.8 per cent, equivalent to a decrease of VNĐ576.1 billion, reaching VNĐ14.5 trillion compared to the beginning of the year.
