NLG – Akari City Phase 2, Can Tho lead Q1 earnings; Southgate presales jump in April – Earnings Flash

Company Research

24 Apr 2025

  • NLG announced Q1 2025 underlying property revenue (including revenue from the joint-venture Mizuki Park project) of VND1.25tn (USD48mn; +3.6x YoY) and NPAT-MI of VND108bn (USD4mn; vs Q1 2024’s net loss of VND77bn/USD3mn). The continued handovers at the Akari City Phase 2 and Can Tho projects (accounting for a total of ~90% of Q1 2025 underlying property revenue) were the primary earnings drivers in the quarter.
  • Although Q1 2025 NPAT-MI reached only 16% of our full-year forecast, we foresee insignificant change to our 2025F NPAT-MI forecast of VND674bn (USD26mn; +32% YoY), pending a fuller review, as we anticipate the divestment gain from a 15% stake sale in Izumi City to be the main earnings driver in 2025F.
  • NLG achieved 4M 2025 presales (as of April 21) of VND2.58tn (USD99mn), equivalent to 50% of full-year 2024 presales and 36% of our full-year 2025F forecast. Over 80% of 4M 2025 presales came from Southgate (which surged 46% above its full-year 2024 total), fuelled by a new low-rise launch in April. This encouraging result highlights growing interest in the Long An real estate market.
