Financial performance of industrial enterprises on the stock market in Vietnam - 20


After indirectly controlling more than 21% of the capital in Tribeco (TRI) of Kinh Do shareholders, TRI continued to implement Kinh Do's replication model, establishing Tribeco North and Tribeco Binh Duong. And KDC invested 10.5 billion VND in Tribeco Binh Duong), NKD contributed 15% to Tribeco North. Thus, when a subsidiary is established, there will be investment and capital contribution from other companies in the system.

Then TRI participated in long-term financial investment and TRI participated in buying shares of NKD and Kido. Thus, participating in becoming a major shareholder of Kinh Do in KDC, NKD, TRI... pushed these companies to spend large sums of money to invest in other companies, even companies in their own "group".

TRI is a stock that has been put under control due to losses. The reason is also due to the provision for financial investment of up to 13 billion VND out of the total investment that needs to be set aside of 20 billion VND (of which 17 billion VND is invested in Kinh Do). This shows the reality of listed companies, which is that few

Focus on investing capital in production and business, but raise capital to contribute capital to establish another company, and then use that company's capital to continue to establish, contribute capital and even invest in other company's stocks.

2.2.3. Evaluation of financial performance of enterprises on the stock market in Vietnam.

2.2.3.1 General assessment of SWOT on the stock market of the enterprise.

Strengths (S): Vietnamese industrial enterprises are enterprises operating in key sectors of the economy. Unlike the service and financial sectors, the production and business activities of industrial enterprises are always more stable than other sectors and are less affected than other sectors when the economy enters recession. Therefore, they are more favored by investors in the stock market. This is the biggest strength of industrial enterprises in the stock market. In addition, production and business activities always require large capital sources for investment and development, so industrial enterprises can more easily and effectively use the capital mobilized in the stock market than other sectors.

Industrial enterprises are enterprises operating in key and spearhead sectors of the economy, the market of enterprises


The industrial sector is very large, so the revenue of industrial enterprises is often much higher than that of other industries, which is also an advantage for enterprises when participating in the stock market. On the other hand, industrial enterprises are always interested in training programs for engineers and technical workers for enterprises, which is why the labor force of Vietnam's industrial sector is always abundant, low labor costs lead to high profits.

Weaknesses (W): Talking about the weaknesses of Vietnamese industrial enterprises when participating in the stock market, first, they do not have much experience in the stock market, so when participating in the stock market, they will have less competitive advantages than enterprises operating in the financial sector. Second, the ability to adapt to changes and fluctuations in the market is slower than that of financial enterprises. Third, they have not yet developed a specific business strategy when participating in the stock market, so many enterprises have not been successful in issuing shares to the public or have issued shares but have not yet developed a plan to list on the stock market. Fourth, the capital scale is small and medium, so many enterprises do not meet the conditions to list on the stock market.

Opportunity (O): The Vietnamese stock market has only been established and developed for more than 10 years. Recently, due to the impact of the economic recession, the market has been severely affected. However, after the recession period, the market will recover. This can be seen as a good opportunity for industrial enterprises to participate in the stock market. The stock market helps enterprises easily attract large capital sources for production and business activities. This is an opportunity to expand production and invest in technological equipment innovation.

Risk (T): When participating in the stock market, industrial enterprises will be at risk of sharing control of the company, there is a high risk of information about the enterprise being leaked, especially enterprises will have to deal with very large risks when the stock market falls into recession.

2.2.3.2 Evaluation of financial performance of industrial enterprises on the stock market in Vietnam

a. Results achieved.


Along with the growth and development of the stock market, the financial activities of industrial enterprises on the stock market have achieved significant results, marking an important step in the development process of each enterprise. Through financial activities on the stock market, enterprises in general and industrial enterprises in particular have attracted a significant source of capital for their business activities, and at the same time, securities trading activities are also considered a potential business activity for each enterprise. Some of the main results of financial activities of industrial enterprises on the stock market can be summarized as follows:

Firstly, the issuance of shares to the public is a basic source of capital mobilization for industrial enterprises. Capital mobilization through the issuance of shares to the public has helped industrial enterprises expand their operating market, gradually increase revenue, increase production and business capacity and position in the market, increase income and create more jobs for workers. After equitization, through the issuance of shares to the public, most industrial enterprises have larger equity capital (increased by 122.9%), the capital growth rate is 2,422 billion VND compared to before the IPO, this is a condition to meet the needs of technological innovation, equipment, and product quality improvement to provide the market with higher quality products, suitable for market demand. Through the process of issuing shares to the public, industrial enterprises have obtained a capital surplus of nearly ten thousand billion VND. Some industrial enterprises with large charter capital not only have financial advantages, but can also easily gain a large-scale issuance profit by selling shares at a higher price than the par value. On the other hand, with a large charter capital, it also creates conditions for industrial enterprises to implement the ability to issue additional shares. With such a relatively large capital surplus value, it has helped enterprises add to the development fund to carry out production and business, creating breakthroughs for the enterprise.

Thus, in 2003, the capital surplus due to the difference in the selling price of shares to the outside of enterprises reached 42.6 billion VND, of which the largest was Vietnam Dairy Products Joint Stock Company. When issuing shares to the public for the first time with a quantity of 1.827 million shares, the Company received a capital surplus of 29.2 billion VND.

billion VND, accounting for 69% of the surplus capital of industrial enterprises in 2003. In 2004, the surplus capital of industrial enterprises was 80.8 billion VND, of which the enterprise with the largest surplus capital in the year was Tuong An Oil Joint Stock Company, earning 20.4 billion VND in surplus capital.

In 2005, the surplus capital of enterprises increased to 242.4 billion VND, of which the largest was the Petroleum Drilling and Services Joint Stock Company, with a total number of shares issued to the public of 28.851 million shares, the Company earned 116.3 billion VND due to the difference in stock prices. In 2006, the surplus capital of enterprises increased dramatically, reaching 2,659 billion VND, of which the enterprises with the largest surplus capital were the Vietnam Oil and Gas Insurance Joint Stock Corporation, earning 1,794 billion VND, the Vietnam Electric Cable Joint Stock Company, earning 278.5 billion VND, the Hanoi Alcohol and Wine Joint Stock Company, earning 121 billion VND, the Cao Son Coal Company, earning 120 billion VND, and the Coc Sau Coal Joint Stock Company, earning 106 billion VND.

In 2007, the surplus capital of industrial enterprises was 6,722.6 billion VND, of which the largest was PetroVietnam Fertilizer and Chemicals Joint Stock Company, with the number of shares sold to the outside being 128,626,600 shares, starting price was

50,000 VND/share, average winning price: 54,403 VND/share, total surplus capital due to price difference is 6,722 billion VND. The process of issuing additional shares to the public by enterprises is also common and enterprises also gain a relatively large amount of surplus capital.

In 2008, the surplus capital of industrial enterprises reached 5,734.9 billion VND, down from 2007. In the first six months of 2009, due to the small number of enterprises issuing securities (6 enterprises conducting initial public offerings and 12 enterprises issuing additional shares), the number of enterprises issuing securities increased by 1.5% compared to 2007.


bonds), with a total of 3,727.4 billion VND, so the surplus capital of industrial enterprises only reached 105 billion, accounting for 3% of the surplus capital in 2008. Second, the use of surplus capital obtained from the stock market has helped enterprises expand their business networks, consolidate and develop their businesses, especially in the past 2 years has helped many industrial enterprises.

industry stands firm amid tight monetary policy and economic uncertainty.

The total surplus capital invested by enterprises in purchasing equipment and expanding production and business from 2003 to June 2009 was VND10,911 billion, accounting for 70% of the surplus capital obtained from the stock market. It is thanks to the effective use of this surplus capital that enterprises have been able to increase market share, revenue and profits in recent years.

Most businesses use the surplus capital obtained from the stock market for the right purpose. Through this capital, businesses have increased their charter capital, helping many businesses meet the capital scale requirements to list securities on the two exchanges.

The use of surplus capital of enterprises must comply with the regulations of the Government and competent agencies. According to the announcement of the State Securities Commission sent to public joint stock companies signed on April 11, 2007 and Circular 18/2007 of the Ministry of Finance dated March 13, 2007, the surplus capital from the issuance of shares to implement investment projects can only be used by the company to supplement charter capital after three years from the time the project is completed and put into operation and use. In case of surplus capital due to the difference between the selling price and the par value of additional shares issued, the company can only use it to supplement charter capital after one year from the end of the issuance. This regulation has helped protect the surplus capital source, aiming at the long-term development goals of enterprises. After this regulation, the use of surplus capital by enterprises has been controlled much more strictly than before.

Hoa Phat Group (HPG) conducted its most recent private placement in May 2008, issuing 8,260,000 shares to two international organizations, Bank Invest and Credit Suisse, earning VND446.16 billion in capital surplus. HPG's total capital surplus to date is VND1,761 billion. HPG invested all of its capital surplus in a number of industrial production projects such as the Hoa Phat Iron and Steel Complex with a capacity of 350,000 tons/year, the Hoa Phat Cement Plant (phase 1) with a capacity of 1 million tons/year and increased working capital, with absolutely no investment in securities.

Without surplus capital, HPG's capital costs would have been pushed up very high because in the second half of 2008, when HPG accelerated construction and investment projects, interest rates on loans increased.


Southern Battery and Storage Joint Stock Company (PAC) has issued two more shares, raising VND100 billion to invest in Nhon Trach Battery Factory. The company has purchased land, hired design consultants and prepared for construction. The remaining surplus capital of VND69 billion was deposited by PAC with an interest rate of 17%/year. Saigon Garment Production and Trading Joint Stock Company (GMC) focused all of the VND45 billion surplus capital on the main production of FOB goods.

Third, financial activities on the stock market of enterprises have contributed to improving the production and business efficiency of enterprises, the ratio of liabilities to total equity tends to decrease compared to before equitization, demonstrating the ability to gradually become financially independent. Compared to the time before equitization, most enterprises have increased revenue compared to the time before equitization, along with the increase in equity, the increase in revenue shows that the production and business activities of enterprises have been expanded after equitization and this is one of the important goals that industrial enterprises aim for.

The return on equity of industrial enterprises is relatively high. After equitization, 62.5% of enterprises have a higher return on equity than before, of which the largest are enterprises operating in the mining industry. Before equitization, the return on equity was only 2.93%, after equitization, this rate increased to 16.66%. Next are enterprises operating in the textile and garment industry. If before equitization, the return on equity was negative, after equitization, this rate reached 8.4%.

Fourth, After issuing shares to the public, industrial enterprises have promoted procedures to list shares. As of June 30, 2009, 132 industrial enterprises had listed shares on the stock market. Shares of industrial enterprises were bought and sold in large quantities by domestic and foreign investors on the market. In particular, shares of PetroVietnam Fertilizer and Chemicals Joint Stock Company and Vietnam Dairy Products Joint Stock Company always had large trading volumes on the market and had a great influence on the value of the VN-Index. The implementation of offering


Providing information as prescribed by the State Securities Commission is seriously implemented by enterprises, initially creating trust for investors.

Fifth, the dividend and bond payment activities of enterprises have tried to maintain a relatively fixed cash dividend payment rate. Dividend reduction is something that enterprises always avoid. Therefore, even when profits increase, when deciding to increase the dividend level, enterprises are very hesitant. Because increasing the dividend payment rate will put pressure on the Board of Directors of the enterprise, so maintaining a fixed dividend payment rate to avoid sudden cuts in the following years. On the other hand, enterprises with stable dividend payment rates over the years are often more highly appreciated by investors. If comparing the dividend payment rate of enterprises from 10% - 20% with the interest rate of banks and inflation, this is an acceptable rate for investors. Moreover, when enterprises issue shares at an issue price of 2-3 times the par value, a simple calculation shows that the actual dividend rate is only about 3% - 10%. Therefore, it is reasonable for businesses to maintain a retention amount of 40%-60% to ensure attractiveness to investors and ensure the development and growth of the business.

In the early years of the stock market, listed industrial enterprises only paid dividends in cash. But since 2006, enterprises have paid more attention to combining cash dividends with stock dividends, a combination that is highly appreciated by investors.

It can be said that industrial enterprises are increasingly receiving more attention from investors regarding dividend payment policies, which demonstrates the sustainable development of the industrial enterprises themselves. In particular, enterprises have become aware of the advantages and disadvantages of each form of dividend payment (in cash or in shares) and have flexibly combined them to suit market trends.

Sixth, it can be said that the securities investment activities of industrial enterprises on the stock market have made significant progress with the number of industrial enterprises participating increasing over the years, from the purpose of using idle capital to invest in securities to increase efficiency to the purpose of buying shares to penetrate and take control of competing enterprises as well as enterprises related to their production and business activities. However, besides the successful enterprises in
