Update business results
(1) 2018 business results. In 2018, DRC recorded net revenue and NPAT of VND 3,551 billion (-3.2% yoy) and VND 139 billion (-16.3% yoy) due to high competition status, Enterprise is difficult to raise selling prices to compensate for the increase in material costs.
(2) DRC's consumption of automobile tires in 2018 reached 1.084 million tires (-11% yoy) due to the decrease in bias tire production. In particular, the consumption of bias tires reached 708,911 tires (-20% yoy), of which, light truck tires volume was -25.75% yoy. In contrast, Radial tire production grew well, reaching 375,610 tires (+ 12.63% yoy), domestic consumption reached 120,203 tires (+ 13.27% yoy), exports reached 255,407 tires (+ 12.34% yoy).
(3) Raw material prices tend to decrease. On average in 2018, natural rubber prices -19.84% yoy, artificial rubber -15.7% yoy (50% of rubber material prices). However, COGS is still high due to chemical price + 24.8% yoy and black coal + 41.06% yoy, making DRC's gross profit margin decrease to 12% (2017: 12.5%).
(4) Phase 2 of Radial factory went into operation and started supplying products to the market. We expect in 2019, Radial tire production will reach 450,000 tires from this contribution.
