ACV – Q4-2022 Business Results Update: Lower Financial Income And Surging Provision Expenses Slowed The Earnings Growth Momentum

  • Q4-2022 Revenue remains resilient compared to the last quarter despite lower passenger volume (25mn vs 30mn) owing to higher international passenger volume (5.3mn vs 4.1mn), staying at VND 4.1 trillion (or USD 174mn, +328% YoY).
  • Q4-2022 NPAT was down 46% QoQ, coming at VND 1.3 trillion (or USD 54mn, +289% YoY), due to lesser financial income (JPY appreciated) and abrupt surge of provision expenses for doubtful receivables from airlines.
  • 2022 Net sales and NPAT respectively posted VND 13,834 bn (or USD 586 mn, +191% YoY) and VND 7,122 bn (or USD 302 mn, +803% YoY). While revenue is 7% ahead of our forecast, NPAT was in line with expectation, completing 99% of our forecast.
  • We remain our positive view on ACV as we believe in the brighter outlook in 2023, driven by (1) stronger international air passenger inbound following Chinese relaxation on air travel, (2) partial reversals of receivables provision, while the downside risk is lower-than-expected financial income due to stronger JPY and decreasing term deposit (due to large CAPEX for key projects namely Long Thanh International Airport and Tan Son Nhat T3 Terminal).
  • We’re pending a fuller review of 2023 forecasts for ACV, of which the current TP is VND 96,600 (an upside of 13%).
