Novaland’s losses surge in H1: Report

HCMC – No Va Land Investment Group Corporation’s (Novaland, HOSE: NVL) net losses have risen VND482 billion to exceed VND1 trillion, according to its reviewed consolidated semi-annual earning report.

The report showed stable metrics in gross revenue and financial income, which remained consistent after the review.

However, there was a 16% increase in the cost of goods sold, leading to a 23% decrease in gross profit to VND477 billion. Additionally, the report indicated a loss of VND6 billion, diverging from its self-made financial statements that recorded a profit of VND296 billion.

These two changes have brought Novaland’s net losses for the first half of 2023 to over VND1 trillion, or VND482 billion higher compared to its self-made financial reports.

This difference between the reviewed and self-made reports is attributed to provisions and income adjustments made at the request of the auditors.
