Vĩnh Hoàn Joint Stock Company (HoSE: VHC) recently published its financial report for Q4 2024, showing clear signs of recovery and marking the return of growth momentum after a challenging period for the seafood industry.
In the last quarter of 2024, Vĩnh Hoàn reported a revenue of VND 3,205 billion, up 34% compared to the same period last year. Additionally, the company also recorded VND 148 billion in financial income, a 87% increase.
On the other hand, Vĩnh Hoàn's expenses in Q4 2024 saw a significant rise compared to Q4 2023. Specifically, financial expenses reached VND 49 billion, and administrative expenses amounted to VND 137 billion, increasing by 14% and 47%, respectively, compared to the previous quarter.
After deducting these expenses, Vĩnh Hoàn, the largest pangasius exporter, reported a profit of VND 440 billion, a 4.8-fold increase compared to the same period last year. This is the highest profit the company has seen in the past six quarters. Explaining the profit increase, the company stated that the growth was due to improved prices of pangasius products and higher production volume.
For the whole year of 2024, Vĩnh Hoàn recorded a revenue of VND 12,535 billion and an after-tax profit of VND 1,310 billion, representing increases of 25% and 34%, respectively, compared to 2023.
In 2024, Vĩnh Hoàn set two business scenarios: a basic scenario and an optimistic scenario. For the basic scenario, Vĩnh Hoàn aimed for revenue of VND 10,700 billion and an after-tax profit for the parent company of VND 800 billion. In the optimistic scenario, the company expected revenue of VND 11,500 billion and after-tax profit of VND 1,000 billion.
Thus, by the end of 2024, Vĩnh Hoàn had exceeded its profit targets for both business scenarios.
Regarding the company's business situation, as of December 31, 2024, Vĩnh Hoàn's total assets reached VND 12,249 billion, a 3% increase compared to the beginning of the year. Of this, cash and cash equivalents increased 2.3 times to VND 570 billion.
Additionally, the company's term deposits reached VND 2,220 billion, an increase of 15% compared to the beginning of the year. By the end of 2024, Vĩnh Hoàn's inventory value stood at VND 2,911 billion, a 22% decrease compared to the start of the period.
As for the capital structure, Vĩnh Hoàn's liabilities slightly decreased to VND 3,247 billion. Although short-term loans increased by 5%, from VND 2,157 billion to VND 2,277 billion, the company no longer had any long-term loans, whereas it had over VND 101 billion at the beginning of the year.
On the market front, the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) reported that pangasius prices in Vietnam have surged at the beginning of 2025 due to limited supply.
Currently, pangasius prices are at their highest level in the past three years. Specifically, pangasius weighing more than 1.2 kg reached VND 32,440 per kg, the highest recorded since 2022.
VASEP predicts that 2025 will be a year of new milestones for pangasius exports. Exports to the United States will be particularly favorable, as on January 17, 2025, Vietnam and the United States signed a bilateral agreement to remove the anti-dumping tax on pangasius fillets exported from Vietnam.
As a result, Vĩnh Hoàn has been removed from the scope of the anti-dumping tax on pangasius and basa exports to the United States. This agreement to resolve the anti-dumping tax dispute opens up significant opportunities for Vĩnh Hoàn and Vietnam's pangasius industry, helping to expand exports to the U.S. market with high-quality and sustainable products.
(vasep.com.vn) Vietnam’s tilapia exports to the United States recorded remarkable growth in 2025, opening up major opportunities while also presenting considerable challenges. The U.S. remains the largest importer of Vietnamese tilapia fillets, with export turnover reaching USD 40 million—an increase of up to 499% compared to 2024. This impressive growth reflects strong demand in the U.S. market, as supply from competing countries such as China has been constrained by tariffs and rising production costs.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Pangasius remains a strategic export commodity in Vietnam’s seafood sector. Entering 2026, the industry faces a strong need to transition from volume-based growth to a value-driven development model, with a focus on quality, food safety, and sustainability.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Following damage caused by Storm No. 13 in late 2025, brackish water shrimp farming in Gia Lai is being rapidly restored. In key farming areas such as Tuy Phước and Tuy Phước Đông, farmers are focusing on rehabilitating ponds, repairing infrastructure, and treating the environment in preparation for the 2026 crop.
(seafood.vasep.com) Facing the decline in fishery resources, Vietnam is accelerating livelihood transitions for fishermen to reduce fishing pressure and move toward sustainable development.

(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Vietnam’s shrimp industry is entering a period of strong transformation with the emergence of various high-tech farming models, helping improve productivity and competitiveness. Over the past 5–10 years, farming practices have shifted from traditional methods to intensive and super-intensive systems, featuring lined ponds, environmental sensors, automated feeding, and data management.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) With a focus on sustainable development, high-tech application, and climate change adaptation, An Giang Province aims to maintain its brackish water shrimp production in 2026 at a level equivalent to the previous year. Specifically, output is projected to reach over 155,510 tons, serving both domestic consumption and export processing, thereby sustaining the fisheries sector’s key role in the local economic structure.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) In the Mekong Delta, key pangasius farming provinces such as An Giang, Dong Thap, and Can Tho are accelerating the transition toward a circular economy model, contributing to higher product value and reduced environmental impact. Instead of focusing solely on farming and processing, the pangasius value chain is increasingly utilizing by-products and waste streams to generate added value.
