Business Commentaries:

3Q2025 NPAT pre-MI improved by 1.4x YoY to VND1,866 billion, bringing 9M2025 NPAT pre-MI to VND4,468 billion-surpassing 90% of full-year guidance. Growth was driven by stronger profitability at WCM, MML, PLH, alongside earnings uplift from TCB and the deconsolidation of HCS. These gains were partly offset by slight increase in financial expenses and softer MCH performance, which was affected by GT channel’s new direct coverage sales model in 2Q but showed early signs of recovery in 3Q, providing momentum for a stronger rebound by 4Q2025.

Consumer-retail EBIT rose VND135 billion YoY, up 6.2% YoY. WCM, MML, and PLH delivered a combined uplift of VND311 billion YoY, up 2.8x YoY, driven by stronger sales productivity and operating leverage at WCM, higher farm and meat volumes and improved porker value at MML, and increased delivery transactions with stronger LFL ADS at PLH. These gains were offset by a VND176 billion YoY decline, down 8.8% YoY, at MCH, reflecting ongoing GT channel initiative, which would require 3-6 months for all roll-out phases to ramp up in sales.

MHT continued positive contribution, with EBIT up VND216 billion YoY, supported by favorable commodity pricing and the strategic divestment of HCS. The divestment strengthened Masan’s consolidated financials and sharpened its focus on core consumer-retail platform.

WCM delivered NPAT Pre-MI of VND175 billion in 3Q2025, up 8.7x YoY, equivalent to a 1.7% margin, driven by strong operational execution and disciplined network expansion. With a net addition of 464 stores YTD, WCM surpassed its base-case target and is on track to exceed the high-case target by year-end. Notably, above 80% of total new stores have reached breakeven at the store-EBITDA level, reinforcing WCM’s position as Vietnam’s largest profitable modern trade retailer by footprint, with ~4,500 stores expected nationwide by year-end.

WCM reported revenue of VND10,544 billion, up 22.6% YoY, driven by like-for-like (“LFL”) growth of 11.0% YoY for minimarts and 9.7% YoY for supermarket. Bill count uplift remains a dominant source of growth, underscoring growing consumer engagement and reinforcing the expansion potential of the network. The FMCG market is undergoing a structural shift toward formalization, driven by new regulations targeting counterfeit and untraceable goods. This has accelerated modern trade (“MT”) adoption, as reflected in positive FMCG volume growth via MT in the first six months of 2025-contrasting with the contraction seen in the disrupted GT channel. Overall, in 3Q2025, modern trade penetration of FMCG market was reported to gain 1.5% share YoY and 1.3% share YoY to 25.5% and 6.3% market share for Top 4 urban cities and rural areas, respectively . Minimart format, on average , gained 0.5% market share YoY.

Rural areas-home to over 60% of Vietnam’s population - is emerging as a key growth frontier, with rural minimart’s ADS now reaching 90% of urban minimarts, up from nearly 85% in 3Q2024. As a result, nearly 75% new store openings (“NSOs”) as of 3Q2025 were in the rural WinMart+ format to capture this high-potential whitespace. Notably, rural minimarts delivered 17.4% LFL YoY growth, reflecting strong consumer adoption in rural areas.

The Central region posted 12.4% LFL YoY growth for the minimart format in 3Q2025, benefiting from tailored consumer offerings and first-mover advantages in securing high-traffic locations. As of 3Q2025, approximately 50% of new store openings were concentrated in the Central region, further solidifying WCM’s regional leadership.

The supermarket format delivered strong 9.7% LFL YoY growth in 3Q2025, supported by renovations that improved overall store traffic. A major layout overhaul was implemented, particularly in the snack and fresh sections, including ready to eat (“RTE”), where stock keeping units (“SKUs”) expanded by 20% and 25% on average, respectively. These changes not only enhanced customer flow across the stores but also drove higher sales traffic to the revamped categories.

Backed by strong LFL growth across formats and improved operating leverage, WCM’s EBIT margin reached 2.6% in 3Q2025, up 160bps YoY. NPAT margin improved to 1.7%, expanding 140bps YoY, underscoring steady progress toward the full-year margin target of 1%. On a normalized basis-excluding the non-cash impact of the one-off supply agreement with WinECO (“WEC”) and deferred tax expense-WCM’s NPAT margin would be around 2.7%, offering a clearer reflection of its underlying profitability.

MCH reported revenue of VND7,517 billion in 3Q2025, down 5.9% YoY, with EBIT margin of 24.2% in 3Q2025, contracting by 80bps YoY. Results were weighed by ongoing GT channel direct coverage initiative which has typically required 3 to 6 months to achieve pre-initiative run rate to before achieving growth; however, recovery signals are emerging, supported by strong momentum in the MT channel and improved performance of “Power Brands” as MCH expands its coverage of more active selling outlets (“ASO”) under the Direct Coverage initiative.

Topline performance eased sequentially, with 3Q2025 revenue decline narrowing to -5.9% YoY from -15.1% in 2Q2025. By channel, GT sales remained under pressure, down 9.9% YoY, but showed sequential improvement. MT grew 12.5% YoY and exports rose 14.8% YoY, underscoring the structural shift toward formalized retail formats and MCH’s strengthened execution in international markets.

The rollout of the Direct Coverage initiative is delivering early positive results. By 3Q2025, the average number of active selling outlets (ASO) reached ~345,000, up 40% YoY, while salesforce productivity improved to 102 ASOs per salesman per quarter, on average, up 50% YoY. Sales efficiency also strengthened, with SKU penetration per order rising to 3.4 SKUs on average, up 50% YoY, reflecting improved sales quality and product mix. Sell-out growth has been encouraging, with earlier rollout phases (1-3) achieving high single-digit gains in 3Q2025, while phases 4-6-commenced in 3Q2025-are still in the early ramp-up stage but demonstrated quicker recovery, achieving 12M run-rate after 3 months of roll-out thanks to more experience in salesman training & preparation, and better logistics support for distributors. Importantly, value per outlet (VPO) in earlier phases has trended upward month-on-month, signaling healthier sales productivity. Distributor stock levels also improved to 15 days as of 3Q2025, down 8 days YoY, indicating better channel inventory management.The Direct Coverage initiative is driving broad-based gains across MCH’s portfolio despite the overall GT channel declining 7% YoY in 3Q2025. Against this backdrop, CHIN-SU outperformed with mid-teen sell-out growth, and Omachi maintained flat sales, both demonstrating strong resilience versus the market. In growth categories, Wake-up 247 achieved high single-digit sell-out growth, while Chanté emerged as the standout performer with ~30% QoQ and YoY growth, reflecting the advantage of direct retailer access over dependence on large traditional retailers. Meanwhile, Nam Ngu and Kokomi remained the drags with more conservative performance. Overall, the Direct Coverage initiative is expanding outlet reach, improving sales productivity, and strengthening consumer engagement-laying the foundation for sustainable topline recovery.

Operating expenses were managed effectively, with percentage of revenue expected to slightly improve by 30bps YoY, in line with prior public guidance. EBIT margin slightly contracted by 80bps YoY, primarily reflecting lower gross margins during the transition phase of distribution restructuring.

Looking ahead, the ramp-up from the full rollout in 3Q2025 is expected to return MCH to positive topline growth. Together with innovation initiative in later quarter, MCH has a clear pathway for margin recovery and sustainable growth from 2026 onward, positioning the business to re-accelerate its leadership in Vietnam’s consumer staples sector.

MML delivered NPAT Pre-MI of VND101 billion in 3Q2025, up 5.2x YoY. EBIT margin recorded 6.0%, up by 370ps YoY as the business continues to scale efficiently.

Revenue reached VND2,384 billion, up 23.2% YoY, supported by strong double-digit growth in both the farm segment (up 30.1% YoY) and meat segment (up 21.5% YoY).

Meat segment revenue increase was fueled by higher sales volume across farm and meat segments, increased synergies with WCM, and fast-growing innovation in processed meat.

Processed meat grew by 14.2% YoY in 3Q2025, reflecting MML’s focus on value-added offerings.

Innovations remains the key growth driver in processed meat, with innovation-led products contributing 33% of category’s revenue, up from 21% in 3Q2024 - a 1.6x YoY increase. This underscores the strategic role of innovation in expanding consumption occasions like snacking and accelerating portfolio expansion. The snacking segment itself grew 55% YoY in 3Q2025.

MML strengthened its integration with WinCommerce in 3Q2025, with average daily sales per store at VND2.3 million per day, up 17.9% YoY. By quarter-end, MML held a 65% share of WCM’s protein category, up 90bps YoY, sustaining leadership in both fresh and processed meat.

Total porker value increased by 6.0% YoY, driven by higher yields in the B2C channel.

Farm segment revenue growth was primarily volume-driven, partially offset by a 5% decline in live-hog prices to around VND63,000/kg. Chicken farm continued to see positive momentum, supported by the newly secured long-term offtake partnership, which ensures stable demand at favorable pricing and providing a solid base for sustained profitability.

PLH posted net revenue of VND516 billion in 3Q2025, up 21.2% YoY, supported by higher delivery order volumes, larger bill sizes from food categories, and stronger LFL ADS following rebranding campaign in 3Q2025.

Revenue from food categories-including bakery, pastry, ice cream, and yogurt-sustained strong momentum, rising 45.3% YoY in 3Q2025. The growth highlights increasing consumer adoption and the role of food in lifting average bill size. As of 3Q2025, food accounted for 6.2% of retail revenue , up 100bps YoY.

In parallel, revenue from delivery grew 20.7% YoY in 3Q2025, contributing 32.9% of retail revenue, up 540bps YoY. Delivery has expanded serving occasions beyond in-store consumption and is a key catalyst for growth, with order volumes from delivery rising 57.1% YoY and driving continued topline momentum.

PLH executed its rebranding campaign in 3Q2025, during which the network added six new stores and closed one, bringing the standalone store count (outside WCM) to 189 nationwide. The rebranding placed emphasis on winning Hanoi, delivering 2 of the 13 planned NSOs for 2H2025 as of 3Q2025. Complementing this push, Hanoi-inspired flavors were introduced and well-received nationwide, delivering 21.6% YoY growth and accounting for ~15% of retail revenue in 3Q2025. Overall, the campaign marked a key milestone in PLH’s restructuring with overall LFL ADS of VND23.5 million, up 8.8% YoY.

EBITDA margin stood at 18.1%, supported by disciplined pricing strategies that helped mitigate input cost pressures sustained since early 2025. NPAT Pre-MI grew 2.1x YoY, with a healthy net margin of 10.8%, up by 470bps YoY, reflecting improving profitability post rebranding campaign.

MHT revenue saw an LFL increase by 33.4% YoY, amounting to VND2,041 billion in 3Q2025 after deconsolidating HCS in FY2024. This was driven by higher sales volume of fluorspar and bismuth, and increasing commodity prices of APT and bismuth.

Amid escalating global trade tensions, new export restrictions from China pushed critical metal prices upward. APT prices surpassed their 2011 peak, surpassing USD500/mtu in 3Q2025, up by ~55% YoY, while bismuth price increased to USD18/lb, up ~165% YoY.

Against this backdrop, MHT’s EBITDA margin expanded to 23.9% in 3Q2025, up 410bps YoY on an LFL basis, supported by improved pricing and lower production costs due to higher feed grade quality. NPAT Pre-MI was VND5 billion, up by VND279 billion, reflecting the combined impact of stronger operating performance, lower interest expenses, and earnings uplift from the HCS divestment.

Techcombank (“TCB”), MSN’s profit share of TCB in 3Q2025 was VND1,242 billion, up by 9.4% YoY. For detailed results on TCB’s performance, please refer to the bank’s website.

Consolidated Financial Results:

Net Revenue: In 3Q2025, Masan Group’s net revenue reached VND21,164 billion, down by 1.5% YoY. However, the topline growth on a LFL basis at the exclusion of HCS’s revenue contribution in 3Q2024 was up by 9.7% YoY.

EBITDA: EBITDA reached VND4,453 billion in 3Q2025, representing a 5.2% YoY increase. On a LFL basis - excluding HCS’s contribution in 3Q2024 - EBITDA improved by 9.4% YoY, driven by profitability momentum at WCM and MML, which helped to offset a softer quarter at MCH.

NPAT: Pre-MI earnings reached VND1,866 billion, while post-MI earnings totaled VND1,209 billion in 3Q2025-marking strong YoY growth of 43.4% and 72.4%, respectively. This performance was driven by improved profitability across MSN’s consumer-retail platform, particularly from WCM and MML, alongside earnings uplift from TCB and HCS deconsolidation at MHT. These gains were partially offset by a slight increase in net financial expenses and softer results at MCH, which have shown promising recovery signals in 3Q after a challenging GT retail market in 2Q.

Balance Sheet Highlights:

Cash and cash equivalent balance stood at VND14,730 billion as of 3Q2025, down 23.4% compared to VND19,226 billion as of FY2024.

Net debt / LTM (last 12 months) EBITDA improved to 2.8x in 3Q2025, down from 3.0x in FY2024.

As of 9M2025, MSN has paid down debt, other liabilities and increased its indirect ownership in consumer-retail subsidiaries. These actions streamlined both the company’s balance sheet and ownership structure of its consumer-retail subsidiaries. As a result, cash and treasury assets declined, however, net debt to EBITDA ratio improved compared to FY2024 due to improvement in LTM EBITDA.

LTM 3Q2025 FCF recorded VND10,430 billion, up 8.9% since FY2024. FCF improvement came from uplift in operating cash flow and VND270 billion reduction in Capex.

2025 Guidance:

Subject to customary corporate approvals, macroeconomic conditions, and consumer market recovery, Masan forecasts FY2025 consolidated net revenue to range between VND80,000 billion and VND85,500 billion, representing 7% to 14% YoY LFL growth after adjusting for the deconsolidation of HCS. In FY2025, total consolidated revenue, excluding MHT, is expected to be within the range of VND74,013 billion and VND78,013 billion, representing 8% to 13% YoY growth. NPAT Pre-MI is projected to be VND4,875 billion to VND6,500 billion, reflecting a robust growth of 14% to 52% compared to VND4,272 billion in FY2024.
