Gross profit rose 37.8% in the year to end-December, the company revealed, as the cost of sales as a percentage of revenue decreased. Gross profit rose to VND21.2trn during 2016.
Net earnings were up 16.7%, climbing to VND10.95trn compared to VND9.12trn in 2015 as higher selling expenses offset lower general and administration expenses.
Over the past four months, Vinamilk’s largest shareholder – Vietnam’s State Capital Investment Corporation – has sold off some of its shares. These have been picked up by Singapore-based Fraser and Neave, which is building its stake in the Vietnamese dairy group.
As part of its growth strategy, Vinamilk has said it wants to grow its international presence and increase revenue from neighbouring ASEAN countries.
