- The company’s gross margin improved to 21.5% from 20.5% in the same period of last year, mainly thanks to higher sales contribution from the IP development business, which has the highest gross margin among all of VGC’s business lines. Net profit was up by 53.5% yoy to VND 159bn.

Outlook
- VGC’s building materials segment should be supported by the solid development of the Vietnamese construction sector, which is likely to continue to benefit from strong housing demand in Vietnam. As for the real estate segment, VGC is likely to continue to take advantage from expected strong FDI inflows into Vietnam in coming years.
- The IP development business and sanitary wares (its capacity is up by 67% since the start of 2019) should be VGC’s two key growth drivers in coming years. We expect that net profit will advance by 29.3% yoy in 2019 and increase by another healthy 17.1% in 2020.
