The company earned VNĐ2.2 trillion (US$95 million) in revenue and VNĐ185.4 billion in post-tax profit in the reviewed period.

The joint ventures operation only brought in about VNĐ10.5 billion for Vinaconex, down VNĐ37 billion compared with the same period last year.

In the first nine months this year, Vinaconex recorded VNĐ368 billion in post-tax profit, down 40 per cent compared to the same period of 2017, in which, post-tax profit of parent company reached VNĐ274.3 billion. Earnings per share (EPS) for nine months reached VNĐ621.
