VinFast Shows Impressive Growth in Latest Financial Results
VinFast Reports Strong Financial Outcomes for Q2 2024
VinFast Auto Ltd. (“VinFast” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: VFS), a prominent subsidiary of Vingroup JSC and Vietnam’s standalone electric vehicle manufacturer, reported its unaudited financial results for the second quarter of 2024.
Outstanding EV Deliveries and Revenue Growth
In the second quarter, VinFast made remarkable progress by delivering a total of 13,172 electric vehicles (EVs), marking a substantial increase of 44% quarter-over-quarter and 43% year-over-year. This surge pushed the first-half delivery total to 22,348 vehicles, representing an impressive 101% growth from the previous year.
VinFast also achieved a revenue of $357 million in Q2, reflecting a 33% increase compared to the previous quarter, along with a 9% rise year-over-year. This success can be largely attributed to a rapidly escalating demand for EVs, particularly within Vietnam's emerging market.
Madam Thuy Le, Chairwoman of VinFast, emphasized, “Our mission remains unwavering—we aim to contribute to a sustainable future through high-quality electric vehicles. With the VF 3 model set to debut in Q3, we have rounded out our lineup of seven e-SUV models.”
Driving Growth with Strategic Focus
According to Ms. Lan Anh Nguyen, Chief Financial Officer of VinFast, the growth in Q2 was in line with forecasts and driven heavily by rising consumer demand in Vietnam. She noted the imperative of capitalizing on the upward momentum now established, stating, “Our foothold in Vietnam sets a robust foundation for continued success.”
Expanding the Global Dealership Network
VinFast's commitment to enhancing its global presence continues as the Company expands its dealership network. As of late August, VinFast operates 155 showrooms worldwide, with approximately 70% classified as dealerships. This strategic move plays a crucial role in bolstering international sales and brand recognition.
Strengthening Operations in Key Markets
In Vietnam, VinFast's sales performance has led to record growth. The VF 5 model has become a leader in the domestic market, culminating in increased delivery rates and market share. Furthermore, the anticipated rollout of the VF 3 mini electric SUV has generated prospects for further expansion.
Meanwhile, VinFast is building a solid foundation within the North American market. In Q2, the Company introduced its products to key dealerships and fortified brand recognition through targeted outreach initiatives. Currently, VinFast has established a presence in eight states.
In Canada, there was a notable 15% growth in the second quarter, with momentum expected to persist into the following months, setting records for delivery levels within the region.
Advancing into Southeast Asia
VinFast made its entry into the Indonesian market less than six months ago, establishing 15 showrooms across major urban areas. The Company began deliveries of its first batch of the VF e34 electric vehicle, marking a significant milestone by providing the first right-hand drive VinFast EVs globally.
The battery subscription model introduced in Indonesia has been a substantial driver of business, accounting for nearly all sales and orders, showcasing the growing acceptance of innovative financing solutions among consumers.
Looking Ahead: Future Expectations and Goals
As VinFast eyes an ambitious target of delivering around 80,000 units in 2024, the Company is strategically positioning itself to meet the anticipated demand. The factors contributing to its success include the growing performance of the VF 5 and the expansion of its extensive charging network, along with robust after-sales service.
The Company recognizes the near-term challenges in international markets. However, these markets remain pivotal for VinFast's longer-term growth aspirations, as it seeks to solidify its global presence.
Commitment to Innovation and Sustainability
VinFast is dedicated to advancing the global transition towards sustainable electric mobility through ongoing product innovations and strategic market expansions.
Upcoming Conference Call
