For the pangasius sector, Vinh Hoan Corporation (Code: VHC) achieved net revenue of VND 3,278 billion, a 21% increase year-over-year. Profit after tax soared by 70% to VND 341 billion, marking the highest profit for the company in the last five quarters. The rise in pangasius sales, which grew by 33%, was driven by increased output, despite a decline in average selling prices. Additionally, revenue from rice products skyrocketed by 105% compared to the previous year. While exports to the U.S. (the key market), Europe, and other regions experienced growth, revenue from China saw a slight decline.
Nam Viet Corporation (Navico - Code: ANV) and Can Tho Seafood Import-Export Corporation (Code: CCA) also reported positive results in the third quarter, benefiting from significantly improved sales.
In the shrimp sector, Minh Phu Seafood Corporation (Code: MPC) posted a net revenue of VND 2,700 billion, up 35% year-over-year. Profit after tax reached over VND 198 billion, a notable turnaround from a loss of VND 13 billion in the same quarter last year. This substantial profit was largely attributed to significant dividends received from its subsidiaries, Minh Phu Hau Giang Seafood Corporation and Minh Phu Seafood Supply Chain Company Limited.
Sao Ta Food Corporation (Code: FMC) recorded a remarkable 59% increase in net revenue, reaching VND 2,845 billion, the highest quarterly revenue in the company's history. However, high operating expenses limited profit growth to just 6%, totaling nearly VND 95 billion. Sao Ta noted that rising raw material prices and soaring transportation costs negatively impacted order fulfillment. Additionally, the company set aside funds for anti-dumping and anti-subsidy taxes on U.S. sales to mitigate potential risks associated with ongoing market reviews.
In contrast, Vietnam Seafood Corporation - JSC (Code: SEA) reported a 35% decrease in after-tax profit, which fell to VND 41 billion due to declining sales revenue from goods, finished products, and services at its subsidiaries.
Cadovimex Seafood Processing and Import-Export JSC (Code: CAD) faced challenges, posting a loss after tax of over VND 7 billion. This marked a continued downturn for the company, which has reported losses since the fourth quarter of 2015. Cadovimex cited a lack of capital for production and is currently reliant on limited revenue from leasing export services and outsourcing, which is insufficient to cover operational costs.
Overall, while many seafood enterprises are experiencing growth, challenges remain for some, underscoring the varied landscape of Vietnam's seafood industry.
