Masan Consumer, listed on HOSE, is ready for the long term thanks to its solid foundation.

Masan Consumer (MCH) has officially listed on the HOSE, entering a new phase of development in the capital market. The company is expected to continue its long-term growth thanks to its strong brand foundation, stable financial performance, and clear growth pillars.

A strong brand foundation and sound financial performance provide the "thickness" for long-term growth.

Over nearly three decades of development, Masan Consumer has built a strong position in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry in Vietnam. The company's products are present in approximately 98% of households and play a leading role in many essential FMCG categories. Familiar brands such as CHIN-SU, Nam Ngư, Omachi, Kokomi, and Wake-Up 247 not only have high brand recognition but also maintain significant revenue, creating a deep brand ecosystem with a high level of consumer engagement.

Masan Consumer has built a strong position in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry in Vietnam.

This brand foundation is directly reflected in the company's business results. From 2017 to 2024, Masan Consumer maintained a compound annual revenue growth rate of approximately 13%, while its operating profit margin remained above 23%, despite fluctuations in the economic environment. Notably, from 2022 to 2024, after-tax profit continued to grow at a compound annual rate of approximately 20%, demonstrating increasingly clear potential for profit expansion as scale and operational efficiency improve.

Alongside its growth, Masan Consumer maintains a consistent value distribution policy for shareholders. Between 2018 and 2024, the company paid out approximately US$1.5 billion in cash dividends while maintaining significant investments in product innovation, portfolio expansion, and distribution system upgrades. This approach helps MCH project the image of a consumer stock that offers both growth potential and defensive value for long-term investment portfolios.

Another key pillar in Masan Consumer's growth strategy is premiumization. From traditional product categories like spices and convenience foods, the company is expanding its growth potential by enhancing usability, broadening the consumer context, and developing higher-margin segments. Leveraging consumer data and a deep distribution network, Masan Consumer can quickly test new products and make flexible adjustments before scaling up nationwide. In recent years, innovative products have contributed approximately 20% of revenue, reflecting continuous innovation and the ability to generate additional growth momentum.

A pillar for the long term

While brand and financial strength provide the "thickness" for Masan Consumer, its people and operational systems are the key factors ensuring sustainable growth in the next phase. The company's core leadership team consists of highly experienced individuals, many of whom have been with the group for a long time and have directly guided Masan Consumer through various economic cycles. Their deep understanding of the domestic market, combined with an operational mindset based on international standards, helps the company maintain a consistent strategic direction in the long term.

Alongside its experienced leadership team, Masan Consumer is building a successor workforce and accelerating digital transformation to enhance operational efficiency and data leverage. The technology and data platform enables the company to gain a deeper understanding of consumers, optimize its product portfolio, manage points of sale effectively, and shorten the time to market for new products.

Bringing Vietnamese brands to the international market not only expands revenue streams but also contributes to enhancing brand value.

An extensive distribution network is also a significant competitive advantage. Masan Consumer currently reaches consumers through nearly 500,000 traditional retail outlets and tens of thousands of modern retail outlets nationwide. The direct distribution model implemented in recent years allows the company to be more proactive in managing its sales points, while also creating a systematic flow of operational data, an increasingly important factor in the competitive FMCG industry.

In the long term, the "Go Global" strategy is also opening up new growth opportunities. Masan Consumer has exported products to more than 26 countries, with double-digit growth in international revenue and high operating profit margins. Bringing Vietnamese brands to the international market not only expands revenue streams but also contributes to enhancing brand value and increasing the company's resilience to domestic fluctuations.

Overall, the official listing on the HOSE on December 25th marks the beginning of a new phase of development for Masan Consumer in the capital market. With a solid brand foundation, stable financial performance, and growth pillars led by a dedicated and experienced leadership and staff, MCH is being placed within a longer-term frame of reference – not just a story of short-term growth, but a journey of creating sustainable value for shareholders and consumers for many years to come.

Box: In its strategy to optimize capital structure and increase shareholder value, Masan Consumer continues to demonstrate a balanced development direction between reinvesting for long-term growth and maintaining stable cash flow for shareholders. According to the announcement, MCH will simultaneously implement three important activities: a stock split from treasury shares at a rate of 1.03%, a bonus share issuance to increase capital from equity at a rate of 21.47%, and an interim cash dividend payment for the second quarter of 2025 at a rate of 25% of par value (VND 2,500/share), expected to be paid on January 30, 2026.
