VSC – Persistent difficulties

  • In 1H2023, VSC’s container throughput reached 460 thousand TEU (-3% YoY), in which the volume of VIP Green, Green, and Nam Hai Dinh Vu (NHDV) ports were 302 thousand TEU (-9% YoY), 140 thousand TEU (-3% YoY), and 18 thousand TEU, respectively. The total number of calls reached 320, 19 fewer than the SPLY.
  • In 1H2023, net revenue and PBT were VND 998 billion (+2% YoY) and VND 105 billion (-61% YoY), respectively, completing 44%/47% of the 2023 plan, and 48%/47% of our forecast.
  • For 2023, forecast VSC's container throughput (excluding NHDV port) will be 922 thousand TEUs (-3% YoY), the decline is expected to slow down because of the expectation that intra-Asia trade demand will gradually recover. We adjusted the revenue to VND 2,062 billion (+3% YoY) because the container handling service charges improved and adjusted down the NPATMI due to consecutive new investment projects such as ICD QBS, VIMC Dinh Vu, NHDV operating inefficiently and interest expenses increasing rapidly.
  • We use the FCFF method (WACC: 10%, g: 1%) and EV/EBITDA (@ EV/EBITDA 10.4x), we recommend to ACCUMULATE at the target price of VND 29,700 per share.
