Overcoming difficulties and challenges in a market with instability and fierce competitiveness, PVOIL completed and even exceeded most of business targets, bringing remarkable growth in compared with 2017 achievements.

In specific, 2018 consolidated revenue was reported at 61,585 billion VND, completing 124% of yearly target, an increase of 2% year on year. Recovery of crude oil price in first three quarters of 2018 contributed to the increasing revenue. Consolidated pre-tax profit in 2018 was recorded 589 billion VND, fulfilling 118% of adjusted target or 3% increase against the same period of last year. Thanks to the bright revenue and profit, last year, PVOIL submitted 9,246 billion to State budget, exceeding target by 28%.

In specific, consolidated pretax profit fell by 87 billion VND to 83 billion VND; parent company’s pretax profit dropped by 261 billion VND, leaving a loss at 187 billion VND due to the finance investment provisioning plan and bad debt.

Excluding budget for finance provisioning plan and bad debt, PVOIL could have met target for consolidated pretax profit and parent’s company pretax profit decided by shareholders at the first annual general meeting.

In full year of 2018, (7 months as one member limited company, 5 months as joint stock company), PVOIL reported consolidated pretax profit at 589 billion VND, completing 118% of annual adjusted target and equal to 103% of 2017 achievement.

In May, PVOIL will accept payments at petroleum stations via ViettelPay and Vietcombank ATM cards. Being the first and unique petroleum retailing company in Vietnam accepts payments via mobile devices has proved great effort from PVOIL.
