VinFast’s Second-Quarter Loss Deepens Amid Aggressive Expansion

Vietnamese electric-vehicle maker VinFast reported a deeper second-quarter loss on Friday, driven by rising costs linked to its ambitious Asia expansion, although its revenue remained on a rising trend, according to its exchange filing. The company, which started delivering cars in California last year, is facing challenges as it seeks to capitalize on growing demand for electric vehicles in Asia while navigating a weaker buying environment in the United States, according to 路透社.

Deeper Losses Despite Revenue Growth

VinFast reported a gross loss of $224 million in the April-to-June period, compared with a $151 million gross loss in the previous quarter. While revenue from accelerated vehicle deliveries jumped 33% quarter-on-quarter to $357.4 million, that was not enough to offset higher costs of sales and operations.

The EV maker’s gross margin stood at negative 62.7% in the second quarter, primarily due to an impairment charge on the net residual value of $104 million, compared to $5 million in the previous one. However, excluding these factors, the company noted an improvement in gross profit margin.

Aggressive Expansion Strategy

VinFast has been expanding aggressively to Asian markets to capitalize on growing demand for electric vehicles in those regions. This strategy aims to offset a weaker buying environment in the United States.

Deliveries in the first half of 2024 were recorded at 22,348 vehicles, up 101% against the same period last year, with half of the deliveries made to affiliates of its parent company.

The Role of Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles are at the heart of VinFast’s expansion strategy. The company’s focus on delivering EVs to both the U.S. and Asian markets highlights the growing global demand for sustainable transportation. Despite the financial challenges, VinFast’s commitment to expanding its EV offerings underscores the potential of the electric vehicle market.

EVXL’s Take

The challenges faced by VinFast are not unique in the electric vehicle industry. As companies like 特斯拉 have shown, the initial phases of expansion can be costly. However, the long-term benefits of investing in electric vehicles are clear.

The growing demand for EVs in Asia and the continued interest in the U.S. market suggest that VinFast’s strategy could pay off in the long run. As we’ve seen in recent articles on Tesla’s expansion, the EV market is poised for significant growth.
