On the financial side, revenue in 2021 recovered from a decline in 2020. A year later, this indicator dropped slightly to VND 20,452 billion. COGS exceeded net sales, causing all profit margins to be negative in 2022. Thus, return on net sales and return on investment were not optimistic when compared with other companies in the same field. Accompanied by a large shortage in operating cash flow, the subject raised more debts to serve investing needs, repaying debts and distributing dividends.
Total assets narrowed to VND 22,281 billion as of 31 Dec 2022 which focused on a large production capacity (44.71%) and inventories (23.29%). Regarding funding sources, a huge business loss in 2022 caused this company to be more dependent on debts to finance its operations. Accordingly, debts accounted for 45.19% of 2022 total capital, further higher than the industry average of 33.01%. This put a heavy burden on interest and principal payments in the upcoming fiscal years, especially when profit margins and operating cash flow were negative. In the short term, the subject maintained positive working capital for many consecutive years. However, quick ratio and cash ratio were in decline which could negatively affect the subject's ability to cover fast payments for obligations.
