- QTP reported Q1 2025 revenue of VND2.9tn (-3% YoY) and reported NPAT-MI of VND173bn (-24% YoY). The decline in reported NPAT-MI is due to (1) a 13% YoY contraction in price spread, and (2) the effective tax rate rising to 20% in Q1 2025 (vs 10% in Q1 2024). The price spread narrowed as ASP dropped 3% YoY to VND1,621/kWh, which we attribute to the industry CGM price in Q1 2025 averaging VND1,247/kWh (-17% YoY), outweighing the benefit from a higher Qc ratio.
- We see a downside risk to our full-year earnings forecast, as Q1 revenue and reported NPAT are equivalent to 22% and 21% of our 2025 forecasts, respectively. The lower-than-expected reported NPAT-MI is mainly due to the lower-than-expected ASP, which outweighs the benefits from lower-than-expected average material costs.
