Real estate plays an important role in Vietnam’s economy through its spread
to other development of economic industries such as construction, manufacturing,
tourism, finance & banking, construction materials, interior, and exterior furniture.
After a slowdown stage (2011-2012), Vietnam’s real estate market has flourished in
recent years, with continued economic growth leading to a surge in property prices.
The country’s real estate market proved resilient during the pandemic, with both the
industrial and residential sectors leading the pack. On to Vietnam’s housing market,
which has also seen unprecedented growth in recent years. While demand from
foreign investors is one of the factors pushing the market, the majority of the growth
comes from Vietnamese citizens (in any new apartment development, foreigners are
only allowed to own up to 30% of the total units). As such, the country’s economic
progress coupled with a rapidly expanding middle class is the primary demand driver
for the expanding housing market, with few signs pointing to a slowdown anytime
soon.

based company operating in the residential real estate industry. The company is

CHAPTER 2: MARKET ANALYSIS


2.1. The market in general
2.1.1. Demand for real estate
The real estate market has fluctuated in the three-year time period. The market
has had periods of decline, crisis, freezing, and then strong recovery in which demand
for real estate also follows certain fluctuations. Specifically, in the 2017-2018 period,
Vietnam was experiencing economic growth leading to the high demand for both
industrial real estates and land plots with a "fever" of lands in these years. However,
since the outbreak of the pandemic in Vietnam in 2019, demand for real estate has
dropped sharply in some segments, especially the resort and hotel real estate segment.
Although the demand for rent in the epidemic situation has decreased, the demand
for people's housing is still growing. Moreover, according to economic experts,
Vietnam is one of the countries with a relatively fast urbanization rate. If people's
income level is increasing, the demand for the real estate industry will be greater.
In another aspect, the real estate market still recorded bright spots from the
segment of land for home gardens, farms, and suburban resorts, coming from the
wave of "leaving the city to go home" when the epidemic appeared.
2.1.2. Supply for real estate
In 2018, the real estate market experienced a sudden increase in supply.
According to the Vietnam Real Estate Brokers Association, the number of apartments
successfully traded in 2018 in Hanoi reached 27,595 products, an increase of 132.8%
compared to 2017 (20,776 products). The number of real estate products transacted
was 3.3 times higher than in 2017, reaching 3,106 products.
In the first six months of 2019, there was a decrease in supply and number of
transactions in the real estate market, mainly in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh. In terms of
condotel real estate products, in the second quarter of 2019, only more than 5,000
new products were introduced to the market, successful transactions were only close
to 1,400 products. The reason is that the new supply is limited, the implementation
of project procedures is slow, the condotel products currently have relatively high

Downloaded by Anh Nguyen (11219567@st.neu.edu.vn)


lOMoARcPSD|11328375

10

prices, which also affect the transaction volume and there are not many policies to
facilitate the development of these product lines.
In 2020, the real estate market has faced a shortage of supply. The main reason
is due to the limited land fund for housing development in big cities, the high financial
cost of land, and the long time for project licensing. The market also showed a
decrease in the supply of housing projects and products, especially in the social and
affordable housing segments.
2.1.3. Market growth rate
With its growth, in 2019, the total amount of FDI registered in Vietnam
reached 38 billion USD, up 7.2% compared to 2018. The processing and
manufacturing industry has the largest amount of registered capital, accounting for
64, 6%, second is the real estate business, accounting for 10.2%. In 2020, the real
estate industry grew by contributed 4.42% of the country's GDP in which the
highlight is the industrial real estate segment and the residential segment - the real
estate in the provinces adjacent to big cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh. The
outlook for the Vietnamese residential real estate market is steady mainly due to rapid
urbanization growth, new development for the construction/projects and the future
value of real estate although the Covid-19 pandemic has had negative effects on the
growth rate of the whole economy and the real estate industry as well.
2.2. The industry
To have a big picture about the real estate industry in Vietnamese, the authors
use the SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) model to analysis
the industry:
2.2.1 Strengths
2.2.1.1 Value Multiplies Overtime
A real estate investment is an example of an asset where the value of a
customer's investment grows over time. If the property is connected to a new housing
society, a major road, or a railway line, its value increases dramatically. In addition,

Downloaded by Anh Nguyen (11219567@st.neu.edu.vn)


lOMoARcPSD|11328375

11

when the real estate industry grows, it not only benefits itself but also creates spillover
effects on the national economy.
2.2.1.2 Less Risky Investment
Unlike other investments such as bonds and stocks, investors can risk losing
practically all of their money if the stock does not rise in value. On the other hand,
because real estate is one of the safest investments, many individuals opt to invest in
it. Its value does not appear out of nowhere, and the buyer would lose everything if it
did. Even if its value decreases, the owner can still use the property for other reasons
such as rents, crops, structures, and so on. Investors probably might not become
bankrupt in this circumstance, as is the case with bond and stock investments.
2.2.2 Weaknesses
2.2.2.1 High land prices
Land prices in some localities have been pushed up too high. This is faster
than the rate of economic development and urban infrastructure has created virtual
prices. This phenomenon led to consequences: state agencies adjusted the land tax,
people demanded an increase in compensation for site clearance, leading to a decline
in urban development investment activities. Virtual prices cause investors to leave
the market, depleting local economic development and the real estate market.
2.2.2.2 Not Liquid Asset
While cash is a liquid asset that may be used to purchase anything from
anybody and anyplace, the real estate property isn't a liquid asset when it’s usually
hard to sell it to make it liquid in order to make the desired purchases. When it comes
to liquidating the real estate asset, the market may not always offer it at the desired
rate. Therefore, in the event of an emergency, the real estate owners must sell assets
at a lesser price.
2.2.3 Opportunities
2.2.3.1 Vietnamese’s high need for real estate.
The Vietnamese need for residential apartments of the Vietnamese people is
literally high. The first opportunity for businesses is the needs of the Vietnamese

Downloaded by Anh Nguyen (11219567@st.neu.edu.vn)


lOMoARcPSD|11328375

12

people. It is the fact that Vietnam always shows the need for housing in its cities,
especially the big cities like Da Nang, Ha Noi, or Ho Chi Minh.
Besides, Vietnam's urbanization process is also taking place at a high speed.
According to the Vietnamese government, the rapid increase of the urban population
in the country leads to Vietnam having to build about 100 million m2 of new housing
to meet the needs of urban residents every month.
2.2.3.2 The increase in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows to the real estate sector continued to
increases sharply and substantially. The attention of the state and the private sector in
investing in new infrastructure is also expected to create momentum for the market
to develop stability. According to a report from the Ministry of Planning and
Investment, the real estate business market production accounted for more than 10%
of total registered investment capital (nearly $4 billion US). This may indicate that
investors, especially foreign investors, are promoting long-term investment activities
in the real estate market in recent years.
2.2.4 Threats
2.2.4.1 Cumbersome legal process
Legal documents related to the real estate market have not been
synchronized. The legal adjustments in the real estate market, from construction
investment, transactions to management, and use of real estate are completed very
slowly and overlapping. Besides, there are many problems arising from self-
sufficiency or inadequacies in the policy mechanism that have not been timely added.
This can be considered as one of the reasons for the delayed housing papers and
directly affected the effectiveness of real estate projects.
2.2.4.2 A shortage of capital
Real estate businesses face difficulties for real estate in accessing capital. From
1/1/2020, the bank's credit activities for real estate business in Vietnam have been
tightened through 22/2019 / TT-NHNN, replacing Circular 36. Specifically, real
estate loans will be tightened (short-term and medium-term loans will be reduced

lOMoARcPSD|11328375

13

from 45% to 40%), interest rates will continue to rise (mobilizing interest rates will
be nearly 9 %) and the risk factor for real estate loans increased from 150% to 200%.
This not only affects the real estate market in Vietnam but also directly influences
real estate investors and businesses.

CHAPTER 3: CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT

JSC’s financial statements in three years from 2018 to 2020 and making a

CHAPTER 4: TREND ANALYSIS AND INDUSTRY COMPARISION


This chapter shows a complete ratio analysis of Vinhomes JSC which
combines both trend analysis and industry comparisons. It shows all the key financial
ratios for Vinhomes from 2018 to 2012, along with the industry averages for those
ratios. (The industry averages are labeled IND in the table.)
The first category is profitability ratio which measures how the firm’s returns
compare with its sales, asset investments, and equity. Stockholders and managers will
be the person who have a special interest in the ratio.
Table 4.1 shows five ratios in profitability of Vinhomes from 2018 to 2020:
Table 4.1: Three-year Profitability Ratio Analysis for Vinhomes JSC
(unit: %)

Profitability Ratios 2018 2019 2020 Trend


Gross profit margin VHM 25.70% 52.89% 36.01% up down

IND 38.40% 42.15% 40.04% up down

Operating profit margin VHM 19.70% 44.97% 29.44% up down

IND 27.1% 30.88% 21.47% up down

Net profit margin VHM 36.94% 42.12% 38.23% up down

IND 27.83% 31.48% 33.01% up

Return on Assets VHM 16.71% 13.72% 13.26% down up

IND 10.40% 8.41% 4.76% down


Return on Equity VHM 56.98% 43.79% 38.58% down

IND 33.59% 26.84% 15.77% down


(source: calculated by the authors)

Firstly, in 2018 and 2019, Vinhomes JSC had positive net income. This gave
a positive value to the net profit margin, return on assets, and return on equity each
of these years (because net income is the numerator for each ratio).

Vinhomes JSC had a lower gross profit margin than the industry norm for
that three-year time period except for 2019. It also had a higher net profit margin
than the industry norm for that three-year time period though it itself had a slight
decrease from 2019 to 2020. In terms of operating profit margin, there is a strong
growth between 2018 and 2019 but it decreases by 15.54% in 2020. On the other
hand, it's much higher than the industry norm. During 2020, management through its
ordinary activities produced 13.26c in profit before tax for every dollar invested in
resources, compared with 13.72c in 2019 and 16.71c in 2018. The decrease in rates
is significant and results from decreased profit with an increased investment base.

The return on equity (ROE) figures paints a telling story over this three-year
period. From 2018 to 2020, Vinhomes JSC had a much higher return on equity than
the average firm in its industry. A business with a stable ROE at a high level can be
seen as a sign that capital is being used efficiently.

Figure 4.1 show the trend of return on equity in three years:

A company's assets are made up of borrowed capital and equity. Both these
sources of capital are used to finance the operations of the company. The efficiency

of converting investment capital into profit is shown by Return on Assets (ROA).


The higher ROA, the better because company makes more money on less investment.

Figure 4.2 shows the trend of return on assets in three years:

(source: compiled by the authors)

Generally, Vinhomes JSC takes the large market share, as a result, the ratios
(ROA, ROE) decrease, though, it has higher ratios than the average firm. Therefore,

liquidity ratios of Vinhomes JSC in 2018-2020:

Next, we examine the liquidity ratios. In general, the current ratio, 2.13 in
2018, has been falling each year through 2019 and 2020, when it is 1.15 and 0.99.
The ratio result shows that Vinhomes has $0.99 of current assets for every dollar of
current liabilities, indicating that Vinhomes could pay all its short-term debts by
liquidating a current asset. The industry norm for the current ratio was below the
value of Vinhomes JSC but going on through the years, it is necessary for Vinhomes
to make a change to highlight its current ratios. The higher this ratio, the greater the
debt repayment capacity of the business. If this coefficient is less than 1, the enterprise
may not be able to fulfill its debt repayment obligation when it is due.

Figure 4.3 shows the trend of current ratio in three years:

Figure 4.3: Vinhomes JSC Three-years Trend in Current Ratio


(source: compiled by the authors)

The quick ratio stayed near the industry norm throughout this period. This
means that when inventory is subtracted from total current assets, Vinhomes JSC’s
liquidity goes down. This lower ratio may indicate that, in an emergency, the entity
would be unable to meet its immediate obligations. Again, however, 2020’s value
(0.57 for Vinhomes versus 0.78 for the industry norm) suggests that management
should watch liquidity in the coming years.

Figure 4.4 shows the trend of quick ratio in three years from 2018 to 2020:

The next ratio is debt ratio – an important ratio when analyzing the financial
position of the firm to assess the relative size of a firm’s debt load and the firm’s
ability to pay off the debt with three primary ratios: the debt to total assets, debt to
equity, and times interest earned ratios. Table 4.3 show debt ratios of Vinhomes
JSC in 2018-2020:

Vinhomes had a low debt load in three years. The debt to total asset ratio
was consistently above 12 percent, whereas the industry norm for this ratio was 24
percent in the period. A low debt reduces the changes in the return on equity ratio
values. On the other hand, a low debt also implied the ability to raise capital for the
company was limited, it seems to be difficult to collect capital for the future project.

Figure 4.5 shows the trend of debt to total asset ratio in three –years:

Figure 4.5: Vinhomes JSC Three-years Trend in Debt to Total Asset Ratio

(source: compiled by the authors)

Next, we see the debt-to-equity ratio helps investors have an overview of the
financial strength and financial structure of the business. Normally, if this ratio is
greater than 1, it means that the assets of the business are financed mainly by debt,
otherwise, the assets of the business are financed mainly by equity.

Figure 4.6 shows the trend of debt to to equity ratio from 2018 to 2020:

In principle, the smaller this ratio, which means that liabilities account for a
small percentage of total assets or total capital, the less difficult the business will be
in finance. The larger this coefficient, the greater the probability that the business will
have difficulty paying debts or go bankrupt when the bank interest rates are high.
However, the use of debt also has an advantage, that is, the interest expense will be
deducted from corporate income tax. Table 4.4 show asset activity ratios of Vinhomes
JSC in 2018-2020:

Inventories are in the group of projects with legal problems, being stopped
from implementation, unable to produce products, increasing the cost burden,
increasing loan interest. From a more positive perspective, when the investor's
capacity is reformed, the financial situation of the enterprise is improved, the legal
problems are removed along with the new government coming into operation, which
will accelerate the speed of investment projects. Figure 4.7 shows the trend of
inventory turnover ratio in three years from 2018 to 2020:

Figure 4.7: Vinhomes JSC Three-years Trend in Inventory Turnover Ratio


(source: compiled by the authors)

The inventory turnover ratio is inversely proportional to the company's


inventory. The fluctuations suggest that Vinhomes did not match its inventory to its
demand for products. The numbers suggest that Vinhomes’ managers should have
studied its inventory control policies to look for ways to match demand and inventory
more closely. The increased inventory of real estate will become a burden for
businesses in particular and for the economy in general. That’s because the low and
decreasing coefficient over the years shows that the inventory increases over the
years, leading to an increase in the risk of the business.

Next, we see the trend of inventory turnover ratio in three years from 2018 to
2020 in Figure 4.8:

Figure 4.8: Vinhomes JSC Three-years Trend in Total Asset Turnover Ratio
(source: compiled by the authors)

The total asset turnover ratio was consistently just above the industry norm.
This helped the return on assets ratio during the years when net income was positive,
as described earlier. Although this ratio from 2018 to 2019 was decreased by 12%, it
had a slight increase in 2020, which implied the good management of Vinhomes.
In conclusion, from trend analysis and industry comparison above, we see that
Vinhomes Joint Stock Company has had a great financial capacity with the
interpretation from profitability ratios, liquidity ratios, debt ratios and asset activities
ratios. However, there are still ratios showing negative signals for the company’s
financial health such as ROA, ROE, liquidity ratio and inventory turnover that need
to develop plans to improve in the next chapter.

CHAPTER 5: DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY


In this chapter, the authors will make some recommendations based on the
above analyses, mainly on limited ratios at Vinhomes JSC to help the company keep
its good financial position.
5.1. Finding new directions of profit optimization
Vinhomes has had a great financial health in general and profitability ratio in
particular when it hold the largest market share in the real estate. However, because
2020 is a particularly difficult year for the world economy in general and Vietnam's
economy in particular due to the negative impact of the Covid-19 epidemic,
Vinhomes Joint Stock Company should quickly implement new business plans to
boost its profit unless the company want to be stuck in the economic recession.
Firstly, Vinhomes can carry out real estate project handover and serviced
apartment for rent and office for rent in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh. Some real estates
provides apartment for resident to both support government and boost revenue in the
pandemic.
Besides, Vinhomes can participate in investment cooperation and business
development of real estate projects with the parent company Vingroup or its
subsidiaries to take shared profits. It is a good way to keep stable growth. Vinhomes
also should find a direction to diversify business activities such as secondary business
activities and interaction channels to reach more customer groups to shorten the gap
between buyer and seller as middlemen.
In addition, the company can consider accelerating the implementation of
industrial real estate projects – a new project of Vinhomes which has the first project
launched in Hai Phong to take advantage of opportunities from favorable
macroeconomic conditions and the growing trend of foreign direct investment (FDI)
in Vietnam in general and industrial production in particular.
5.2. Improving financial ratios
Through the analysis in the Chapter 4, we see that though the ratios show a
positive outlook about the company’s financial health, it remains ratios that needs to

lOMoARcPSD|11328375

24

be improved in the near future to ensure financial position of the company and also
extend credibility to investors, common stakeholders when they use it to determine
the capital investment.
The first ratio is return on equity. Generally, investors prefer the company that
have steadily high ROE because it indicates that the company can do good things
with the cash and assets it holds but Vinhomes’s trend in three-years has decreased.
In order to improve the ratio, the company should change either one of two part in
ROE which is net income and shareholders’equity. Vinhomes can raise profits by
implementing new ways in the previous part while not necessarily having to sell more
houses, especially when the demand is low in this pandemic.
Other typical way to raise ROE and also help improve the ROA and inventory
turnover ratio is to reduce inventory. Vinhomes should avoid hold more inventory
than it tend to use because it need to have additional maintenance expenses which
reduce net income and make shareholders’ equity higher. For ROA, inventory counts
as an asset for ROA calculations. The company reduces inventory cost by managing
the levels of inventory to reflect sales expectations. Excessive inventory can raise
assets cost without producing more income.
The next ratios is liquidity ratio which includes current ratio and quick ratio.
Vinhome’s two ratio is low (less than 1) in 2019-2020 so it might affect to decision
of banks and other financial institutions to extend loans to the company. The current
ratio depends on both current assets and current liability. Vinhomes should pay off
current liabilities as often and as early as possible to decrease the level of current
liabilities and therefore, improve the current ratio. Besides, Vinhomes should list
unproductive fixed assets and sell off to increase cash level. The two ways also apply
for improving quick ratio as the quick ratio is quite similar to the current ratio. Also,
when the quick ratio relates to the inventory, Vinhomes should make a faster
conversion of inventory into debtors and cash because the quick assets would rise
resulting in an improvement in the quick ratio.

CONCLUSION
Among a variety of competitors in the real estate field, Vinhomes JSC has
maintained a stable and strong stand in the last few years and proudly to be regarded
as the leading real estate brand in Vietnam. Vinhomes Smart City, an urban complex
developed by Vinhomes in Hanoi, has won the Mixed Use Development and
Sustainable Residential Development categories at the 2021 Asia Pacific Property
Awards (APPA). It is the first Vietnamese real estate project to grab the title in the
sustainable residential development category. With the award, Vinhomes Smart City
will proudly represent the region at the 2021 International Property Awards (IPA).
Thanks to professional operating and financial management and appropriate
strategies, Vinhomes has witnessed satisfying growth which can be seen in its
published financial statements. In the last 3 years, financial ratios of Vinhomes have
recorded positive figures which assured itself to have good financial health. Though
there were ups and downs, it cannot be denied that Vinhomes has fixed the situations
so well to bring more optimistic results.
In response to our financial analysis of Vinhomes in this report, some
development strategies for Vinhomes are recommended, that is focusing on
maintaining stable revenue as the economy as the whole is affected by Covid 19
pandemic. All industries are more or less affected and real estate in Vietnam is no
exception. Some other possible plans for Vinhomes might be participating in
investment cooperation and real estate project business development with the parent
firm Vingroup or its subsidiaries in order to share earnings or diversify business
activities like secondary business activities and interaction channels in order to close
the gap between buyer and seller as middlemen. In this particularly sensitive
pandemic situation, one of the most vital financial management tasks is to extend
credit, which investors, lenders, and other stakeholders can use to determine and
improve their capital investment capacity. With strong financial management,
Vinhomes is believed to stand a high chance of overcoming this difficult social
context.
