DNHN - The Vietnam Electric Cable Joint Stock Company (CAV) has just announced the payment of the third installment of cash dividends in 2022 equal to 40% of par value, with a payment deadline of July 28 for investors.

Vietnam Electric Cable Joint Stock Company was founded in 1975 and has been listed on HOSE since 2014 under the ticker symbol CAV. Currently, Gelex Electricity Joint Stock Company (UPCoM: GEE) is the largest shareholder of CAV, holding 96.16 percent of charter capital. Consequently, it is anticipated that Gelex Power will receive dividends from CADIVI over 221 billion VND in this round.

Consequently, business activities in 2022 experienced a recovery and positive growth compared to before the epidemic, with revenue and profit after tax increasing by 8.16 and 14.44%, respectively, from 2021. In terms of revenue structure, the domestic market continues to be the company's primary source of revenue, with the southern market accounting for 65 percent of total revenue.

In terms of cost structure, as a manufacturing company, CADIVI's COGS accounted for the largest proportion and increased by 6.98%, with a lower increase than revenue. Gross profit recorded revenue increased by 19.72% over the previous year, demonstrating the Company's business efficiency despite price fluctuations and input materials.

CADIVI's profit per share reached VND 6,550 by the end of 2022, an increase of over 14% compared to the previous year and a significant accomplishment for the Board of Directors and employees of the company. 1975 marked the founding of Vietnam Electric Cable Joint Stock Company, formerly known as Southern Copper Wire Company. Officially listed on the Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX) in 2021.

With these results, the Company's net revenue reached 11,334 billion VND, which was 94% of its annual plan, and its profit before taxes reached over 482 billion VND, which was 92% of its annual plan.

In the context of a challenging business environment, this is an encouraging outcome that will inspire CADIVI to pursue loftier objectives in the coming year, when the economy recovers and expands.
