- Company Research
- QNS released its H1 2024 results with revenue of VND5.3tn (USD210mn; +1% YoY) and NPAT-MI of VND1.2tn (USD48mn; +19% YoY), completing 52% and 58% of our respective full-year forecasts. Revenue was in line with our forecast while earnings tracked ahead of our expectations due to strong sugar profitability. We see upside potential to our current projections, pending a fuller review.
- In H1 2024, sugar revenue declined 2% YoY driven by the decrease in sugar volume of 11% YoY, but the segment’s GPM expanded 6.9 ppts YoY as sugar prices remained at a high level (+10% YoY). Additionally, soy milk revenue was flat YoY, but GPM declined 2 ppts YoY due to an increase of 7% in COGS in H1 2024. Other businesses, with the biomass business as the main contributor, recorded robust gross profit growth due to solid sugarcane bagasse input from the sugar segment.
- QNS’s EBIT margin expanded 3.4 ppts YoY in H1 2024 due to (1) strong profitability of the sugar segment and (2) effective cost management as SG&A/sales declined 2.2 ppts YoY.
