Outlook
The current COVID-19 resurgence in Vietnam has negatively impacted domestic construction material demand as several key cities and provinces, mainly in Southern Vietnam, have entered lockdown. Currently, all NTP’s three factories (Hai Phong, Nghe An, Binh Duong) have arranged accommodation for workers to live on-site and can carry out production as normal. NTP’s sales are concentrated in the North which has not yet seen any negative impacts from the pandemic. With the current strong measures being imposed and the vaccination process speeding up, we expect that the lockdown measures will be eased from September 2021.
Looking beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, we maintain our positive outlook on the demand for plastic pipes in Vietnam thanks to 1) Vietnam’s continuing trend of urbanization, 2) the rising recognized need for upgrading the water supply and wastewater treatment systems in Vietnam.
- For 2021, revenue is projected to increase by 10.3% y/y to VND5,104bn. The sales volume in 2021 is projected at 95,500 tons (+5.0%y/y). The gross margin is forecast to decline to 31.9% (compared to 33.1% in 2020) mainly due to high material costs. Net profit will reach VND503bn, +12.5% y/y.
