VINH HIEP COMPANY LIMITED

VINH HIEP COMPANY LIMITED (CÔNG TY TNHH VĨNH HIỆP) delivered a mixed but revealing financial performance in 2023. The standout figure is the 400.92% surge in profit, jumping to USD 1.22 million. This comes after years of marginal earnings, indicating that the company may finally be converting its large sales volume into actual profit. Equity also increased by 45.45%, suggesting stronger internal financial reinforcement.

But behind the good news, there’s volatility. Total assets had dropped by more than half in 2022 and only recovered to near-2021 levels last year. This suggests that the company may have undergone restructuring, downsizing, or asset reallocation before rebounding. Sales, meanwhile, fell slightly to USD 295.92 million—a 1.73% decline—after peaking above USD 301 million in 2022. The topline shrinkage, even if marginal, shows that revenue growth has plateaued despite all the operational activities.

The company is managed by Mr. Thai Nhu Hiep, who also holds a controlling 67.9% stake. Operations remain centralized, both in ownership and decision-making. Vinh Hiep’s portfolio extends beyond coffee into agriculture, electricity generation, and real estate—but coffee remains the core driver.

The company’s low working capital of USD 10.05 million compared to its asset size of over USD 124 million signals tight liquidity. This means Vinh Hiep could face challenges if hit by raw material cost shocks, delayed payments from export markets, or sudden financing needs. Its ability to absorb external pressure is limited unless profits continue to climb.

For partners and buyers, VINH HIEP COMPANY LIMITED remains an active, experienced player in Vietnam’s Robusta supply chain. But financial partners should approach with informed caution. VANGUARD BUSINESS INFORMATION LLC (VBI) can help verify whether this recovery is part of a new trajectory—or just a temporary rebound. In a commodity-based business, knowing the difference is everything.
