REE's business results in 9M21 were generally flat, due to the pandemic situation, which was
beyond HCMC municipal government’s control. The sharp decline in 3Q business results had
a great impact on the entire 9M21 business performance. In the 3Q21, REE recorded revenue
and profit after tax for shareholders of the parent company of VND1,093bn and VND263bn,
decreasing by 27.3% and 24.1%, respectively. Except for the water segment, the profit after
tax of all other segments decreased.
We re-evaluated and adjusted our energy forecast, as 3Q21 results fell short of expectations.
We maintain our assessment of the remaining segments, as we do not expect M&E and office
leasing to see negative changes in our 2021–2023 forecast. We believe the difficulties seen in
3Q for these two areas are only short-term (due to social distancing, projects had to stop
construction and no new projects deployed, and office rent had to be reduced for customers).

We still see promising upside prospects for the stock, thanks to three key factors: 1) an
investment portfolio that is already profitable (hydroelectricity, wind power, the
possibility of increasing PPA prices for TKT hydropower plants); and 2) the expected
benefits when EVN increasingly purchases renewable electricity to make up for the
shortfall in thermal power commercial output, 3) coupled with the possibility that REE
will win some big M&E contracts for the public investment segment.
Thus, we maintain our Hold recommendation and target price of VND68,500 to reflect
the aforementioned factors.
