How does PXA explain when business is declining and financial reports are late?

DNVN - Nghe An Petroleum Investment and Trading Joint Stock Company (PVIT, stock code: PXA) has just issued a document explaining the decline in business results as well as the reason for the delay in announcing the financial report for the second quarter of 2025.

In Official Dispatch No. 31/CV-PVIT sent to Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX) dated August 5, 2025, Nghe An Petroleum Investment & Trading Joint Stock Company (stock code: PXA) explained the delay in announcing the financial statements (BCTC) for the second quarter of 2025.

Responding to the HNX's reminder letter issued on July 29, 2025, in the explanatory document, PXA said the reason for this delay was because "the company's finance department is rearranging personnel".

The company has admitted its shortcomings and pledged to correct them by publicly announcing additional information as soon as possible to ensure the rights of shareholders and investors.

According to the recently announced financial statements for the second quarter of 2025, Nghe An Oil and Gas recorded a serious decline in business results compared to the same period last year.

Specifically, net revenue from sales and service provision in the quarter reached only over VND 2.9 billion, a sharp decrease of 78% compared to the figure of over VND 13.2 billion in the second quarter of 2024. After deducting the cost of goods sold, the company's gross profit reached over VND 1 billion, also a sharp decrease compared to the level of over VND 11.2 billion in the same period last year.

Meanwhile, expenses tend to increase, eroding profits. Financial operating expenses (mainly interest expenses) increased slightly to 1.52 billion VND. Business management expenses also increased from 536 million to 772 million VND. The cost burden caused the company to have a net loss from business activities of more than 1.85 billion VND, while in the same period last year, it made a profit of more than 1.18 billion VND.

As a result, Nghe An Petroleum reported a loss after tax of 1.7 billion VND in the second quarter of 2025. In the first 6 months of the year, the company lost nearly 1 billion VND.

In the document explaining the loss-making business results, Nghe An Petroleum said the main reason for the decline in revenue was that the Hung Loc project was unfinished and invoices could not be issued. In addition, the rental space in the office building had not been completely filled.

In addition, increased financial operating expenses due to increased borrowings, plus maintenance and repair costs and interest on unfinished projects, caused negative profit after tax in the quarter.

According to the balance sheet as of June 30, 2025, PXA's total assets reached more than VND 178 billion, down 8% compared to the beginning of the year. Short-term receivables accounted for a large proportion of the asset structure with more than VND 20,412 billion. Inventories remained unchanged, remaining at VND 76 billion, while long-term unfinished assets were VND 49 billion, reflecting the status of unfinished projects.

Nghe An Petroleum Investment and Trading Joint Stock Company was established under the policy of Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group, within the cooperation agreement between Nghe An Provincial People's Committee and Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group. The company's headquarters is located on the 23rd-24th floors, Nghe An Petroleum Building, No. 7 Quang Trung, Vinh City, Nghe An.
