SUMMARY OF THE TOPIC – SIGNIFICANCE Businesses and organizations must scramble to stake out their positions and maximize their own inherent value in the face of an economy that is expanding quickly. As a result, it is important for firms to comprehend their current state as well as the outcomes of their commercial and production actions. Regular financial analysis will assist businesses in fully and accurately identifying the causes and effects of the information, as well as in seeing the present status of financial operations, production, and business results over the course of the firm. Managers can have the most objective perspective, identify the relevant issues, possess the necessary skills, and be aware of any remaining constraints in the production and business processes thanks to financial analysis of their organizations. At the same time, the analysis' evaluation will make it easier to determine goals and business strategies that will be used to provide the most obvious results. From there, it is possible to evaluate the enterprise's potential, business and production efficiency, dangers, and future prospects in order to develop efficient solutions and decisions that will increase the enterprise's efficiency. Being well aware of the importance of analyzing the financial situation for the development of the business, the team decided to analyze the financial situation of Thanh Thanh Cong - Bien Hoa joint stock company. Use the methods and information you learned to analyze business financial statements, including financial ratio analysis and assessing the enterprise's past, present, and future financial health. In order to assist the company in realizing its potential for future growth and development, the team simultaneously examined the data from the financial statements and assessed the financial policies in light of the business decisions made by the company. 1 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 CHAPTER 02. GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO THE COMPANY 2.1. Background of the sugar industry Analysts predict that enterprises in the sugar industry would recover and reclaim their position by 2023. According to the International Sugar Organization's (ISO) research, the price of raw sugar is currently at its highest level in five years, since 2017. Furthermore, the impact of trade remedy measures such as measures against evasion of trade remedies, anti-dumping measures, and governmental countervailing has limited a substantial amount of imported cane sugar products. Following taxation, the uncompetitive price of imported sugar will increase demand for locally produced sugar, and domestic sugar prices are projected to remain high. In particular, Vietcombank Securities Company, Ltd. (VCBS) stated in the Sugar Industry Report for the first quarter of 2023 that the overall volume of imported sugar for the entire year 2022 has reduced by 12.6% year on year, with substitute import sources primarily coming from Australia and Indonesia. According to the Vietnam Sugarcane and Sugar Association (VSSA), Vietnam's domestic need for sugar is between 2.1 and 2.3 million tons per year, with local sugar production meeting only 33% of consumer demand. Because domestic demand cannot be met due to poor production, Vietnam's sugar sector is significantly reliant on imported sugar. This is both a challenge and an opportunity for domestic sugar producers to increase output. TTC AgriS (SBT) accomplished exceptional and remarkable accomplishments in the year 2021-2022, despite the turbulent environment in the globe and Vietnam. SBT supplies approximately one million tons of finished sugar to local and foreign markets, maintaining its leadership position in the sugar sector with 46% of the domestic market share. TTC AgriS intends to extend the material area in Australia to 20,000 ha and to implement digital farming technology through the FRM (Farmer Relationship Management) platform through the sustainable agricultural development strategy for 2021-2025. The overarching goal is to increase the global material area to about 90,000 2 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 hectares and ensure an adequate supply of products to meet domestic and international market demands. 2.2. General Introduction 2.2.1. About the company Thanh Thanh Cong - Bien Hoa Joint Stock Company is a multinational corporation that was once a partnership between Group Bourbon, Union of Sugarcane II, and Tay Ninh Union of Sugarcane. TTC AgriS aspires to maximize the entire value chain, which is diversified and rich in potential to avoid negative consequences on the environment. Besides, TTC AgriS has consistently accepted the "green" business approach as its core value throughout its more than five decades of operation, viewing it as its own identity towards a holistic value chain and establishing a sustainable competitive edge. TTC AgriS is a prominent agricultural firm in the local market, accounting for roughly half of the sugar sector in Vietnam. In particular, TTC AgriS operates in the industrial business (B2B) and consumer business (B2C) sectors, with over 75 sugar product lines serving a variety of local client channels as well as more than 29 export countries. The Company's shares are listed on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange under License No. 27/QD-SGDCKHCM was issued by the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange on February 18, 2008. 2.2.2.

History of formation and development TTC AgriS was founded on July 15, 1995. TTC AgriS aspires to be a sugar factory with cutting-edge technology and sophisticated equipment, with the main product being RE Refined Sugar which meets European standards. In 2007, the enterprise was converted to a joint stock company. In 2008, TTC AgriS listed 44,824,172 SBT shares on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HOSE), representing 31.58% of total issued shares. In 2012 TTC AgriS completed the Affinage Project - Raw Sugar Dissolving Workshop. In 2013, the enterprise changed its name to Thanh Thanh Cong Tay Ninh Sugar Joint Stock Company and issued 6,574,200 ESOP shares. In 2015, the enterprise combined with Gia Lai Thermal Power Joint Stock Company to become the largest Sugarcane enterprise listed on Vietnam's stock exchange. In 2016, TTC AgriS initially appeared in the VN30 Index basket and issued more than 9.1 million ESOP shares. In 2017, the Company completed the merger with Bien Hoa Sugar Joint Stock Company and changed its name to Thanh Thanh Cong - Bien Hoa Joint Stock Company. TTC AgiS completed the Corporation concept by centrally managing all TTC Sugar Business Units. In 2018, TTC AgriS began improving corporate governance by international standards. TTC AgriS was also the first Vietnamese company to export sugar to the United States and has been named to HOSE's Top 20 Sustainable Development Index - VNSI. In 2019, TTC AgriS collaborated with ED&F Man Company, DEG, and BIDV to increase raw material sources and markets to Europe and Cambodia. In 2020, the first time TTC AgriS’s Sugar Consumption Output achieved 1 million tons. In 2021, TTC AgriS successfully deployed the Oracle Cloud ERP system for all 22 SBT units in four countries: Vietnam, Singapore, Laos, and Cambodia. In 2022, the TTC AgriS export market has grown to include more than 29 countries, and sugar consumption remained above one million tons. Furthermore, TTC AgriS 4 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 officially addressed the plan of bilateral agricultural development cooperation 4.0 with the Government of Queensland, Australia. TTC AgriS has been the sole Sugarcane Enterprise in the VNSI20 index basket for the past five years. 2.4.

BASIS – METHODS 3.1. Theoretical basis 3.1.1. The concept of financial analysis Financial analysis is the systematic application of scientific methodologies to evaluate a company's financial health. The primary purpose of financial analysis is to examine an organization's viability and stability comprehensively by evaluating data and identifying relevant trends, ratios, and indicators. It gives vital insights into the strengths and weaknesses of a company's financial status, allowing stakeholders to analyze risks, discover opportunities, and make strategic financial decisions. Financial analysts can measure an entity's overall financial health by analyzing financial data to make informed decisions and beneficial recommendations for improvement and growth. 3.1.2. Purpose of Financial Statement Analysis The goal of financial statement analysis might vary greatly depending on the intended audience. Different stakeholders have different goals and employ financial statement analysis for different purposes: - Investors: Investors examine financial statements to assess a company's financial health, growth potential, and overall performance. The goal is to uncover appealing investment opportunities, evaluate prospective risks and returns, and make informed judgments. - Lenders: Lenders use financial statement analysis to determine borrowers' creditworthiness and repayment capabilities. - Management: Management relies on financial statement analysis to evaluate financial performance and operations to make strategic decisions. The goal is to increase profitability while also optimizing resource allocation and ensuring financial stability. - Internal stakeholders: Financial analysis assists those participating in the business in establishing solid employment positions and having confidence in devoting themselves to production and business activities that are in line with their given tasks. 7 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 3.1.3.

FINANCIAL RATIOS 4.1. Liquidity 4.1.1. Overall ratio The index reflects an enterprise's overall solvency during the reporting period. This indicator reveals the number of times the company can cover its liabilities with the same amount of cash as its total assets. The firm can guarantee general liquidity if the indicator value "Overall ratio" consistently > 1. Conversely, if this value is < 1, the enterprise cannot guarantee its ability to pay its debts. The business becomes more insolvent the closer it goes near 1. If this number > 2, the company's solvency is extremely accurately reflected, although capital efficiency may not be high and financial leverage may be low. Businesses will struggle to make a significant growth stride. Formula: Overall ratio= 2019 Total assets Total assets Liabilities 2020 2021 2022 16,743,296,335,713 17,955,718,783,912 20,470,899,249,259 27,730,368,032,587 Liabilities 10,924,103,440,168 10,313,417,423,502 12,232,594,239,837 18,061,488,986,946 Overall ratio 1.53 1.74 1.67 Table 4.1.

The chart shows the overall ratio for the period 2019–2022 In general, the SBT company's overall ratio for the past four years is higher than 1, indicating that the business has sufficient financial resources to fulfill its debts. This index climbed from 1.53 to 1.74 between 2019 and 2020, but it then steadily fell in the years that followed, reaching only 1.54 in 2022. This declining trend reflects a company's financial situation, which may be in trouble. If this pattern continues, the business can be hit with more late fines or expensive interest costs as a result of late payments. We contrast SBT with rivals in order to obtain a more realistic picture. The overall ratio is positive for all three companies. In this case, SLS's index has risen steadily over the years, and most of them are larger than 2, demonstrating the company's excellent ability to pay. Additionally, the LSS's index was also very high and even reached 3.19 in 2020. Like the other two businesses, LSS consistently guarantees its capacity to pay off debt. However, a ratio that is too high, indicates that the company's financial resources are not being utilized effectively or that the inventory is too huge, which prevents the inventory from being sold to generate revenue during market swings. about sum up, SBT's financial condition is efficient despite having the lowest overall ratio of the two corporations. The business must, however, take action to reverse the index's current downward trend.

Current Ratio This index gives the most accurate indication of how well assets that are anticipated to be converted into cash will cover the claims of short-term creditors. It is the most frequently employed indicator of short-term solvency. The likelihood of insolvency rises as the ratio gets closer to 0, indicating that the company will be less able to fulfill its obligations. This ratio must be regularly monitored in order to spot potential financial hazards and take immediate action. A high current ratio can indicate that the business has a significant amount of capital locked up in non-productive assets like extra cash or marketable securities or maybe a lot of inventory that could go out of date before it can be sold. So, a high current ratio might not be desirable to shareholders.

Chart showing the Current ratio of the 3 companies from 2019 to 2022 The three companies' current liquidity ratios did not differ all that much. The most significant improvement is seen in the SLS’s index, which has been rising over time. The company appears to have enough cash on hand and short-term assets to pay off its debts and other commitments on time. In terms of firm LSS, its index typically dropped to less than 1 in 2021 after the first three years. This demonstrates that the business is in a downturn, but the index bounced back the next year. Overall, all three businesses have a strong to excellent current ratio, demonstrating that they have enough cash on hand to pay their short-term obligations. 4.1.3. Quick Ratio (QR) The quick ratio measures a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations using the assets that are most liquid and acts as an indicator of its short-term liquidity position. Inventories are frequently the least liquid of a company's current assets. As a result, it is critical to evaluate the company's ability to settle short-term loans irrespective of inventory sales. A ratio greater than 1 indicates that a company has enough liquid assets to cover its liabilities straight away. A quick ratio of less than 1, on the other hand, shows that the company is unlikely to repay its short-term loans without having to liquidate some of its larger assets. 13 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 Formula: Quick ratio = (Current assets − Inventories)/ Current liabilities LIQUIDIT 2019 2020 2021 2022 Y RATIOS Current 9.794.108.835.254 10.030.796.116.425 12.577.330.513.959 18.026.635.002.596 assets Inventories 2.781.398.584.531 2.529.346.657.059 3.158.779.109.857 4.625.727.670.410 Short-term 8.966.033.051.411 8.807.443.159.566 8.571.563.364.667 15.294.959.798.595 liabilities Quick ratio 0,78 0,85 1,10 0,88 Table 4.4.

Except for 2021, this indication has typically decreased by less than 1 year over year. Due to its comparatively low quick ratio, SBT may be experiencing financial difficulties and may neeaboutto sell off goods in order to generate cash flow. However, the fact that the index has never been lower than 0.5 and that it tends to rise over time, however, shows that the company has taken attempts to improve this indicator.

Chart showing the Quick ratio of the 3 companies from 2019 to 2022 When compared to the other 2 competitors, the SBT's index is far superior. The SLS's index also exhibited hints of growth, but it was still relatively low. The LSS's index, meanwhile, gradually dropped throughout the years until it was completely below 0.5 in the years 2021–2022. Future difficulties for the organization will be numerous if this condition does not change. The aforementioned data shows that SBT outperforms the other two businesses in terms of asset and debt management. 4.1.4. Instant Ratio It specifically establishes the ratio of a company's total cash and cash equivalents to its current liabilities. The statistic evaluates the company's ability to pay down its shortterm debt using cash or resources that can be swiftly converted to cash, such as easily traded securities. This information can be used by creditors to decide the amount of money, if any, they are ready to loan a business. If this ratio is equal to one or above, it means that the company has enough cash on hand to pay down all short-term obligations simultaneously. However, to fully and promptly satisfy short-term liabilities, very few organizations actually have enough cash and cash equivalents on hand. Because having a significant cash balance indicates either 15 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 poor cash flow efficiency or that the company is building up a sizable reserve of money to support future objectives.

As a result, the corporation is unable to guarantee the quick repayment of all short-term loans. However. This is not a major issue. High levels of cash and cash equivalents held by a company also indicate the company's ineffective use of this liquid asset. Therefore, it is difficult to draw any conclusions about how the company will develop in the future or whether SBT would be vulnerable to failure and bankruptcy.

The cash ratio is rarely larger than or equal to 1, as very few organizations actually have enough cash and cash equivalents to meet all short-term liabilities. However, if this coefficient is too low, it's possible that the 2 businesses SLS and LSS may struggle to make loan payments. SBT generally outperforms the other 2 businesses in this ratio, demonstrating the company's efforts to improve it. 4.2. Assets Management Ratios 4.2.1. Inventory Turnover This ratio is a financial ratio that demonstrates how frequently a company turns over its stock in relation to its cost of goods sold (COGS) over the course of a specific time period. The number of days in the period - typically a fiscal year - can then be divided by the inventory turnover ratio to determine the average number of days it takes for a company to sell its inventory. A low ratio may suggest slow sales or overstocking, which is sometimes referred to as surplus inventory. It could be a result of poor marketing or a flaw in a retail chain's 17 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 merchandising strategy. A high ratio, on the other hand, suggests strong sales. Alternatively, there may not be enough stock. When it comes to problems, ensuring that a company has enough stock to support strong sales is better than having decreased inventory when business is slow. Formula: Inventory turnover ratio = Sales/Inventories Ratio/Year Inventory turnover 2019 2020 2021 2022 2,96 4,31 4,47 4,11 Table 4.8. Analysis table of Inventory turnover of TTC - Bien Hoa JSC from 2019 to 2022 Figure 4.9. Chart showing the Inventory turnover of TTC Bien Hoa JSC from 2019 to 2022 With the exception of 2022, which saw a little decline, the data shows that Inventory turnover climbed steadily over the years starting in 2019 and reached 4.47 in 2021. This demonstrates how well the business is managing its inventory. However, as each distinct industry will demand this index differently, it is vital to compare it to businesses in the same industry in order to judge how well this index performs. As a result, we make comparisons with SLS and LSS. Inventory turnover Company name SBT 2019 2020 2021 2022 2,96 4,31 4,47 4,11 SLS 1,74 2,78 2,69 1,80 LSS 2,44 4,10 4,50 3,21 18 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 Table 4.9. Analysis of the Inventory turnover of the 3 companies period 2019 to 2022 Figure 4.10. Chart showing the Inventory turnover of the 3 companies from 2019 to 2022 SBT has the highest turnover of the three corporations, according to the statistics in the graphic. In a similar vein, LSS also had an increase in this index throughout time, but it abruptly declined in 2022 from 4.5 to 3.21. The ineffective inventory management of SLS is demonstrated by this organization's Inventory Turnover, which is not excessively high and has been declining over time. Thus, based on the trend of competitors in the same industry, we can say that SBT's inventory turnover is relatively high and the company needs to make plans to ensure this stability. 4.2.2 Receivables turnover and Days' sales in receivables The receivables turnover ratio measures the efficiency with which a company may collect on its receivables or the credit it extends to customers. A high ratio may indicate that a company's debt collection efforts are effective and that its customers are dependable and timely with their payments. A low ratio may be caused by inadequate credit policies, ineffective collection tactics, or untrustworthy or creditworthy customers. Formula: Receivables turnover = Sales/ Accounts receivable Day’s sale in receivables is a measurement that shows how long it usually takes a company to get paid for a transaction. This index is typically computed on an annual, quarterly, or monthly schedule. 19 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 A high Day’s sale in receivables suggests that a company is probably experiencing payment delays, which could result in a cash flow problem. A low ratio indicates quick payment to the company. That money can be prudently invested back into the business. Typically, a DSO of under 45 days is thought to be low. Formula: Day’s sale in receivables = 365 days / Receivables turnover Ratio/Year Accounts receivable turnover 2019 2020 2021 2022 5,90 9,46 12,10 9,89 Days' sales in receivables 61,91 38,56 30,16 36,90 Table 4.10.

But in 2021–2022, this index fell to a minimal 9.89, which is insignificant. shown encouraging indicators in recent years when it comes to business debt collection efforts. 20 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 Figure 4.12. Chart showing the Days' sales in receivables of TTC Bien Hoa JSC from 2019 to 2022 This demonstrates the importance of the fact that SBT's Days' Sales in Receivables also fell sharply, almost doubling in the years 2019 through 2021 from 62 to 30 days, only increasing by 6 days in 2022. It is clear that the company's credit policy, deferred payment policy, and debt recovery from clients are all reasonably effective. The better the collection policy is, generally speaking, the greater the receivables turnover ratio and the shorter the average collection duration. To draw meaningful conclusions, we must contrast these indicators with those of other companies in the same industry.

Chart showing the Accounts receivable turnover of the 3 companies from 2019 to 2022 Competing businesses' receivables turnover ratios fluctuated during the course of the years from 2017 to 2021. The SLS index rose between 2019 and 2020 before dropping precipitously to 5.96 in 2022. In contrast, even if it varied regularly, LSS's index nevertheless appeared to be in good condition, higher than the rival two businesses. Days' sales in receivables Company name SBT 2019 2020 2021 2022 61,91 38,56 30,16 36,90 SLS 47,31 38,85 78,16 61,29 LSS 29,24 25,46 26,41 29,19 Table 4.12.

Chart showing the Days' sales in receivables of the 3 companies from 2019 to 2022 Similarly, LSS Days' sales in receivables are excellent when they consistently go below 30 days. Generally, the Days' Sales in Receivables tend to decline with time and Receivables Turnover of SBT enterprises are good. This demonstrates that SBT does not have many challenges when using the company's capital, enforcing its policies, and collecting debts. 4.2.3 Fixed asset turnover The fixed asset turnover ratio (FAT) is frequently used by analysts to assess the efficiency of operations. By comparing net sales (found on the income statement) to fixed assets (found on the balance sheet), this efficiency ratio evaluates a company's ability to produce net sales from its fixed-asset expenditures, notably property, plant, and equipment (PP&E). A higher ratio indicates that the company's leadership is using its fixed assets more effectively. A high FAT ratio does not reveal anything about a company's ability to generate steady earnings or cash flows. Formula: Fixed asset turnover = Sales/ non-current asset Ratio/Year Fixed asset turnover 2019 2020 2021 2022 2,40 3,02 3,68 4,34 Table 4.13.

This encouraging pattern demonstrates that the business is making optimal use of its fixed assets and increasing the revenue it derives from them. Fixed asset turnover Company name SBT 2019 2020 2021 2022 2,40 3,02 3,68 4,34 SLS 1,54 1,71 1,27 1,49 LSS 1,45 1,45 1,52 1,73 Table 4.14.

Chart showing the Fixed asset turnover of the 3 companies from 2019 to 2022 We contrast SBT with competing businesses to conduct a more detailed analysis. The fixed asset turnover indicator for SLS was continually changing and typically had a very low value. Although LSS also had an upward trend from 2019 to 2022, the values were still less than 2. In summary, SBT has consistently outperformed its rivals in terms of fixed asset turnover. In comparison to its rivals in the market, this is a positive indication of the company's efficient management of fixed assets. 4.2.4. Total asset turnover (TAT) The asset turnover ratio compares a company's sales or revenues to the value of its assets. The asset turnover ratio may be employed to determine how well a company uses its assets to generate revenue. The more effectively a corporation uses its assets to generate revenue, the greater its asset turnover ratio. On the other side, a company that has a low asset turnover ratio is not successfully using its assets to generate sales.

The total asset turnover ratio is going down, which indicates that PPH is doing better at using its assets to make money. A dollar of assets now generates more money than it did in the past because of increased efficiency.

SBT, however, continues to show its capacity for efficient operation when there are programs and initiatives in place to raise this score over time. In contrast to SLS, this company's index has been dropping recently, which indicates that its asset management is having issues. 4.3. Debt Management Ratios 4.3.1. Debt-to-Total Asset Ratio (D/A) D/A is a financial indicator that measures the extent to which a company has used debt to finance its assets. Formula: D/A = Debt/ Total assets Year 2019 2020 2021 2022 Debt 10.924.103.440.168 10.313.417.423.502 12.232.594.239.837 18.061.488.986.946 Total 16.743.296.335.713 17.955.718.783.912 20.470.899.249.259 27.730.368.032.587 asset s D/A 0,6524 0,5744 0,5976 0,6513 Table 4.18.

The ratio showed volatility over this time frame. In 2019, Thanh Thanh Cong - Bien Hoa JSC's debt-to-total assets ratio was 0.6524, implying that 65% of its total assets were financed by debt. Then, the ratio fell to 0.5744 in 2020, indicating that 57% of its total assets were financed by debt. In 2021, the ratio increased further to 0.5976. In 2022, the ratio continuously rose to 0.6513 indicating that 65% of Thanh Thanh Cong - Bien Hoa JSC's total assets were funded by debt. Compare to 2019 the 2022’s ratio fell to 0.0011. However, this is a cause for concern, suggesting that the company could face challenges in repaying its debt if it does not generate sufficient revenue.

During this period, TTC Bien Hoa's Debt-to-Asset Ratio was consistently higher than that of the other two companies. This could be an unfavorable indicator as it suggests that TTC Bien Hoa may encounter challenges and face the risk of insolvency or bankruptcy. However, from 2021 to 2022, the Debt-to-Asset Ratios of Son La Sugar JSC and Lam Son Sugar JSC gradually declined, indicating that both companies exhibit strong financial autonomy and have been successful in capitalizing on opportunities to generate profits for their shareholders by leveraging their partners' capital. 4.3.2.

In 2020, there was a sharp decrease in the D/E ratio from 1.8773 to 1.3495, indicating that the company exhibits strong financial autonomy. But after 2020, there was a sharp increase from 1.3495 to 1.8680. Overall, there was a light decrease of about 0.0093. Nevertheless, maintaining such a high level of debt can cause concern for the company.

Upon reviewing the data table, it can be observed that TTC Bien Hoa JSC consistently had a higher debt-to-equity ratio than its competitors during the period of 2019 - 2022. The ratios show that the company may be experiencing financial difficulties and struggling to pay off its debts. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that the debtto-equity ratios of TTC Bien Hoa over this period and Son La Sugar in 2019 are greater than 1, except for Son La Sugar after 2019 and Lam Son Sugar over this period. This indicates that the majority of TTC Bien Hoa assets were primarily funded by debt rather than equity capital. 4.3.3. Long-term debt to equity (LTD/E) LTD/E ratio is a financial metric that indicates the amount of long-term debt in relation to the equity that is being utilized in a company's production and business activities.

In 2019, the ratio was 0.3365, indicating that for every dollar of owner's equity, the company had 0.3365 dollars of long-term debt, which implies that TTC Bien Hoa had a considerable amount of operating capital compared to its debt. The situation was better in 2020 when the long-term debt-to-equity ratio fell from 0.3365 to 0.1971. In 2021, the ratio increased to 0.4444. After that, there was a decrease in 2022 from 0.4444 to 0.2861. The resulting LTD/E ratio is considered a "healthy" parameter of a company, usually a LTD/E value below 0.5 is considered good. In conclusion, there is not a big problem with the ratios within this period.

The long-term debt-to-equity ratios of the three companies are less than 1, indicating that the three companies are financially independent. 4.3.4. Interest Coverage Ratio (ICR) ICR is a financial metric that shows a company's ability to make interest payments and generate enough profits to pay off its debts during its operations. It is an essential indicator of a company's financial stability and ability to manage its debt obligations. The ICR measures the number of times a company's earnings can cover its interest expenses.

In 2019, the company had a BEP ratio of 6.73%, indicating that it generated earnings equivalent to 6.73% of its total assets. However, in 2020, the BEP ratio slightly declined to 6.67%, suggesting a slight decrease in the company's ability to generate earnings relative to its asset base. On a positive note, in 2021, the BEP ratio improved significantly to 7.21%, indicating enhanced profitability and operating efficiency as the company generated 38 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 higher earnings compared to its assets. Nevertheless, in 2022, the BEP ratio decreased again to 6.71%, although still higher than the BEP ratios in 2019 and 2020. Overall, Thanh Thanh Cong - Bien Hoa's performance in terms of profitability remains relatively positive, demonstrating the ability to earn a profit on its assets. However, when compared to Son La Sugar, it is evident that Thanh Thanh Cong - Bien Hoa's BEP ratio in 2022 was significantly lower. This discrepancy poses a potential risk to the company's future financial performance. It is important to note that additional analysis, including examination of other financial ratios and consideration of industry and market factors, would provide a more comprehensive evaluation of Thanh Thanh Cong - Bien Hoa's overall financial health and potential risks.

Son La Sugar Joint Stock Company's ROA ranges from 4.86% to 13.6%, while Thanh Thanh Cong - Bien Hoa JSC's ROA ranges from 1.55% to 3.15%, and Lam Son Sugar JSC's ROA ranges from 0.06% to 1.75%. It is notable that Lam Son Sugar Joint Stock Company has experienced a growth trend in its ROA ratio. In contrast, both Thanh Thanh Cong - Bien Hoa and Son La Sugar JSC exhibit fluctuating trends, with both increases and decreases observed over the years. However, during the period of 2021-2022, both companies experienced a slight decline in their ROA ratios. This trend raises concerns as it suggests a projected decrease in profitability per dollar of assets for these two companies in the future. 4.4.4. Return on equity (ROE) The Return on Equity (ROE) is a widely employed financial ratio that assesses the efficiency with which a company utilizes its equity to generate income and returns for its common stock shareholders.

P/E analysis The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is a metric used to gauge the market's assessment of a company's earnings potential. It measures how much investors are willing to pay for each unit of earnings that a stock produces. Essentially, the P/E ratio is the ratio of the current market price of the stock to the earnings per share (EPS) of that stock. A higher P/E ratio indicates that the market expects the company to have higher earnings growth potential, while a lower P/E ratio indicates that the market is not as optimistic about the company's future earnings potential.

Model Z-Score Edward Altman, a professor at New York University, developed and published the Z-Score model in the late 1960s. His idea of developing this model began during the Great Depression when the default rate of enterprises increased sharply. This model is considered the original model applied by many researchers in many different continents and countries to forecast credit risk and asset risk. In fact, Altman's Z-Score formula has actually given investors understanding of a company's overall financial health. Altman (2000) investigates the factors that influence the likelihood of failure in small and medium-sized businesses in the United States. Working Capital/Total Assets ratio, Retained Earnings/Total Assets ratio, Earnings Before Interest and Tax/Total Assets ratio, Market Value of Equity/Total Liabilities ratio, Total Sales/Total Assets ratio are the five separate variables (financial ratios) that are the best predictors of the possibility of corporate default, according to the research results. The criteria employed in the calculation method are easily gathered on the enterprise's financial accounts and widely spread to the public. The formula of the Z model is expressed by the following equation, where Z is considered as the composite index: Z = 1,2A + 1,4B + 3,3C + 0,64D + 0,999E Explain the five financial ratios in Z-Score: A. Working Capital/Total Assets: The gap between a company's current assets and current liabilities is its working capital. A company's short-term financial health is determined by the value of its working capital. Working capital = Current assets – Short-term liabilities B. Retained Earnings/Total Assets: The retained earnings/total assets ratio indicates how much profit or loss a firm keeps. New companies often have a low ratio of retained earnings to total assets because there has not been much time to accumulate retained earnings. Therefore, 49 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 the probability that these companies are often classified as bankrupt is higher than that of more established companies. C. Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT)/Total Assets: EBIT is an indicator of the profitability of an organization that relates to the profitability of its operations only, excluding taxes and debt. The EBIT/Total Assets ratio measures the ability of a business to produce enough revenue to maintain profitability while also financing continuing operations and debt obligations. D. Market Value of Equity/Total Liabilities: Market value, or market capitalization, is the equity value of a company. This value is calculated by multiplying the number of shares outstanding by the current share price. The market equity/total liabilities ratio measures how much of a decline in the value of a company's assets before liabilities exceed assets and result in the company becoming insolvent. This high ratio can be interpreted as high confidence of investors in the financial strength of the company. E. Total Sales/Total Assets: The ratio of total sales to total assets shows how effectively management is using assets to generate revenue compared to competitors. This high ratio means that management only needs to require a small investment to be able to generate revenue, increasing the overall profit of the company. Conversely, if this ratio is low or tends to decrease over time, it means that management needs to use more resources to be able to generate enough revenue, resulting in a decrease in the company's profits. Usually, the lower the Z-score, the higher the probability that the business is about to go bankrupt. Therefore, the way to classify and evaluate enterprises based on calculated data of investors can be determined as follows: If a Z-score below 1.8 indicates (Z < 1.8), then the company is in distress zone, facing financial difficulties and high probability of bankruptcy. 50 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 If a Z-score between 1.8 and 2.99 (1.8 < Z < 2.99), the company is in the gray zone, no short-term problem. However, the company still needs to consider its financial situation carefully because of the possibility of bankruptcy. If a Z-score is greater than 2.99 (Z > 2.99), the company is in a safe zone, financially healthy and unlikely to file for bankruptcy. Analyzing the Z-score Model of Thanh Thanh Cong Company: Ratio Z = 1,2A + 1,4B + 3,3C + 0,64D + 0,999E 2019 2020 2021 2022 A 0,04945715391 0,06813166165 0,1956810544 0,0985084367 B 0,01603184065 0,02028651741 0,03151014699 0,03154101695 C 0,06732694366 0,06671861012 0,07207747177 0,06705560424 D 0,858084119 0,8627597302 1,063887569 0,5611855683 E 0,6484154722 0,7178037681 0,729077284 0,660609399 Index Z 1,500912969 1,599582723 1,926023378 1,402758595 Table 5.1. Z-score Model Analysis Table of TTC – Bien Hoa JSC in 2019-2022 Through the Z-score results table of Thanh Thanh Cong Company from 2019 to 2022, it can be seen that the company's scores over the years were very low, especially in 2022 when the lowest score is 1,402, down 27.17 % compared with the last year. This is a worrying point when the company's score for 4 consecutive years has been in the danger zone, with high bankruptcy risk. However, in 2021, the Company has a better signal when the score in the gray area is 1,926, this is the highest value in this period, increasing by about 20.41% compared to the previous year. Although this is a positive sign for the company, it still needs to be considered when the risk of bankruptcy is still high. This makes Thanh Thanh Cong more cautious in his financial and business matters. 51 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 Taking a closer look at the Z-score model, we can see that the 4 indices A, B, C, E are all related to assets when total assets are all denominators of the above 4 indices. Therefore, minimizing unnecessary assets is necessary to optimize the financial problems of Thanh Thanh Cong. The company needs to identify assets that do not contribute to value creation in terms of revenue and liquidate them gradually. This helps to increase the company's working capital. Thanh Thanh Cong may also sell assets that are recognized as liabilities. This not only reduces interest expense but also reduces total debt, leading to an increase in D. In addition, the company can also increase retained earnings by reducing the cost of dividends to shareholders to improve index B without negatively affecting index D. On the other hand, in 2019 and 2020, the financial health of enterprises has decreased alarmingly after Vietnam had COVID-19 outbreaks and prolonged social distancing. In this situation, Thanh Thanh Cong's business activities were seriously reduced. Overall, from analyzing the results of the Z-score model, the company has had a gradual recovery after 2 years of decline in 2019 and 2020, but the company is still in an alarming state and needs to continue developing for the future business. 5.2. The balanced scorecard The Balanced Scorecard is a system used to track and manage corporate strategies. It is a combination of many indicators and values, considered as the driving force, as well as the result of the company's goals. By analyzing the Balanced Scorecard, managers can make plans based on key metrics and track them. In addition, the Balanced Scorecard helps companies measure the success of their strategies; whether the business is moving in the right direction, and whether the company can achieve the goals set out earlier. For Thanh Thanh Cong Company, the financial goal for the period 2019-2022 focuses on the growth of the company's revenue and pre-tax profit. The planned financial targets of Thanh Thanh Cong are presented in the following table: Financial indicators Total planned 2019 2020 2021 2022 11,545,100,000,000 10,922,000,000,000 14,358,000,000,000 16,962,000,000,000 52 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 revenue Earning before tax plan 680,000,000,000 430,000,000,000 662,000,000,000 752,000,000,000 Earning before tax / Total revenue 5.89% 3.94% 4.61% 4.43% -5.40% 31.46% 18.14% Revenue growth rate Table 5.2.

The percentage of achieving the target compared to the plan of TTC Bien Hoa (2019 2022) Based on the above table, it can be seen that Thanh Thanh Cong Company was unable to achieve the planned target of total revenue in 2019, the result was only about 94% of the plan. But it is worth noting that from 2020 onwards, the Company has exceeded the set total revenue target, which is at least 3.95% higher than the plan in 2021. In terms of profit before tax, in 2019, the Company still could not exceed the set target, reaching only 62.03% of the plan. But from 2020 onwards, Thanh Thanh Cong has prospered when it is able to exceed the target. With the lowest target of 118.37% in 2021 and the highest at 139.04% in 2022. 54 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 Figure 5.1.

Analysis of Thanh Thanh Cong’s Debt-to-Equity ratio from 2019 to 2022 The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio indicates a company's level of financial leverage by comparing debt to equity. Thanh Thanh Cong's D/E ratio decreased from 2019 to 2020 but tends to gradually increase again until 2022. This shows that the company's risk increases in case of financial difficulties. Although the highest D/E ratios are only 1.88 and 1.87, which are not very high compared to other companies, Thanh Thanh Cong should still be cautious when financial risks are worrisome. 6.1.2.

Analysis of Thanh Thanh Cong’s Debt-to-Asset ratio from 2019 to 2022 The debt-to-assets (D/A) ratio is a reflection of a company's debt to total assets. Thanh Thanh Cong Company's D/A ratio fluctuates at 0.65 in the period of 2019 - 2022. 57 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 This shows that the company is not too dependent on loan capital. However, with a ratio above 0.5, the company should still consider it because it shows that Thanh Thanh Cong may face financial difficulties when the loans are in trouble, or when the debt has to be paid back if the revenue is not generated enough. It is important to monitor this trend carefully, as large amounts of borrowed capital can also cause financial difficulties. 2019 2020 2021 2022 Accounting profit before tax 42,783,945,893 512,359,717,149 783,599,950,034 1,045,572,400,381 Interest expenses 705,491,023,191 685,620,883,846 691,890,712,661 813,904,183,931 1,127,274,969,084 1,197,980,600,995 1,475,490,662,695 1,859,476,584,312 1.60 1.75 2.13 2.28 Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) Interest coverage (ICR) 6.1.3. Interest coverage analysis Table 6.3. Analysis of Thanh Thanh Cong’s Interest coverage (IC) ratio from 2019 to 2022 The Interest Coverage (IC) ratio assesses a business's ability to cover its interest charges using pre-tax income and interest payments. This ratio of Thanh Thanh Cong shows significant growth from 1.60 to 2.28 in the period of 2019 – 2022. This proves the ability to cover high-interest expenses in the future and ensures lower interest rates on corporate loans. However, despite this positive upward trend of IC, the D/A and D/E ratios still indicate the company's financial instability. Moreover, this high IC ratio cannot guarantee the company's ability to avoid bad debt in the future. Therefore, although the IC rate is positive, Thanh Thanh Cong still should not be subjective but needs to ensure sustainable development. 6.1.4.

Analysis of Thanh Thanh Cong’s Net profit margin from 2019 to 2022 Thanh Thanh Cong's growth rate can be measured by the Sales growth index, which shows the percentage of sales in a given period of time. In the period of 2019 - 2022, the company's sales growth rate is relatively low, all below 5%. This shows that the company's situation is still not stable, it can be said to be in a serious condition. Therefore, the Company needs to have a more reasonable investment and business development strategy in the future to be able to improve its growth rate in the future. 6.2. Financial leverage analysis 6.2.1. Degree of Operating Leverage (DOL) The Degree of Operating Leverage (DOL) is a financial ratio used to assess the influence of fixed and variable expenses on the operations of a firm. It contributes to a better understanding of how variations in sales affect earnings before interest and taxes. It can be said that DOL measures the percentage change in earnings before interest and taxes for each percentage change in sales. 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Accounting profit before tax 421,783,945,893 421,783,945,893 512,359,717,149 783,599,950,034 1,045,572,400,381 Interest expenses 714,074,144,851 705,491,023,191 685,620,883,846 691,890,712,661 813,904,183,931 Net revenues from sale of goods and rendering 10,284,695,599,709 10,856,612,400,144 12,888,682,601,777 14,924,867,625,715 18,318,941,759,936 59 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 of service EBIT 1,135,858,090,744 1,127,274,969,084 1,197,980,600,995 1,475,490,662,695 1,859,476,584,312 %∆EBIT -0.76% 6.27% 23.16% 26.02% %∆S 5.56% 18.72% 15.80% 22.74% DOL -0.1359 0.3351 1.4663 1.1444 Table 6.5. Table of Degree of Operating Leverage of Thanh Thanh Cong from 2019 to 2022 Based on the above table of results, it can be seen that the company's DOL has increased significantly from -0.1359 in 2019 to 0.3351 in 2020, the level of operating leverage of the company has increased significantly during this period. In 2020, the company is more likely to be profitable due to increased output and revenue, which has a significant impact on pre-tax profit. And in the following years, specifically in the period 2020 - 2022, the level of leverage has a stronger growth. This can be explained by the increase in output and revenue compared to the previous year. Additionally, this increased DOL may reflect the company's gradual recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic between late 2021 and early 2022. 6.2.2. Degree of Financial Leverage (DFL) The Degree of Financial Leverage (DFL) is a financial ratio that measures the impact of a business's financial policy by looking at a combination of liabilities and equity. The DFL represents the ratio of earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) to earnings before taxes (EBT), as well as the percentage change in net profit or earnings per share (EPS) per percent change. EBIT also refers to the amount of interest a business can generate before paying any interest or taxes on the money the company has borrowed. 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 EBI T 1,135,858,090,744 1,127,274,969,084 1,197,980,600,995 1,475,490,662,695 1,859,476,584,312 EBT 421,783,945,893 421,783,945,893 512,359,717,149 783,599,950,034 1,045,572,400,381 2.6726 2.3382 1.8830 1.7784 DFL 60 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 Table 6.6. Degree of Financial Leverage of TTC Bien Hoa JSC from 2019 to 2022 Based on Thanh Thanh Cong's analysis above, it can be seen that the percentage change in EBIT led to a gradual decrease in net income from 2.6726 in 2019 to 1.7784 in 2022. This implies that the company is currently using less debt capital to reduce financial risk in the event of insolvency. Also showing the company's efforts in solving financial difficulties, is a positive sign of the company's ability to grow. 6.2.3. Degree of Total Leverage (DTL) The Degree of Total Leverage (DTL) measures the impact of operating and financial leverage on corporate profitability. While operating leverage affects profits based on changes in sales, financial leverage magnifies equity by changing the amount of debt and equity financing. The combination of both operating and financial leverage is known as compound leverage. 2019 2020 2021 2022 DOL -0.1359 0.3351 1.4663 1.1444 DFL 2.6726 2.3382 1.883 1.7784 DTL -0.3632 0.7835 2.7610 2.0352 Table 6.7.

The Degree of Total Leverage (DTL) can reflect how a company's decisions to invest in fixed assets and finance them with debt affect fluctuations in revenue and return on equity. Thanh Thanh Cong's DTL by years is -0.36 in 2019, 0.78 in 2020, 2.76 in 2021 and 2.04 in 2022. DTL's trend is influenced by DOL and DFL, as it is a combination of both. The gradual increase in DTL shows that the company's cost risks are increasing and the stability of the business is decreasing. This means that the company needs to ensure future financial stability. In conclusion, based on the analysis of key financial ratios such as D/A, D/E, Interest Coverage, Net Profit Margin, and Financial Leverage, it can be seen that Thanh 61 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 Thanh Cong Company is facing many financial difficulties. Under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, many complicated fluctuations have been created in the general economic situation. Although there has been some improvement, the company needs to do more to address the remaining challenges. 62 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 CHAPTER 07. GROWTH ANALYSIS The Dupont Model is a performance evaluation method utilized to analyze corporate profitability by integrating elements from both the income statement and balance sheet. This model serves as a valuable tool not only for assessing a company's profitability but also for evaluating its growth potential. By examining the various components that contribute to a company's return on equity (ROE) and return on assets (ROA), investors and financial experts can gain a deeper understanding of the factors influencing the company's growth. A high rate of return indicates that the company has effectively utilized both its equity and assets to generate favorable returns. By enhancing profitability, a company can boost its revenue and profits, and the Dupont model assists in identifying the key factors necessary to achieve this growth objective. The formulas for calculating ROE and ROA are as follows: Return on equity (ROE) ROE=Net income available ¿ common stockholder Net income Sales Assets ¿ = × × Commonequity Sales Assets Equity ¿ Profit margin ×Total assets turnover × Equity multiplier Return on assets (ROA) ROA=Net income available ¿ common stockholders Net income Sales ¿ = × Total assets Sales Assets ¿ Profit margin ×Total assets turnover Ratio Net profit Net Revenue Total assets Owners' equity ROE Return On Sales (ROS) Year 2019 2020 2021 2022 259.292.667.062 362.919.816.632 650.368.455.065 873.458.753.885 10.856.612.400.144 12.888.682.601.777 14.924.867.625.715 18.318.941.759.936 16.743.296.335.713 17.955.718.783.912 20.470.899.249.259 27.730.368.032.587 5.819.192.895.545 7.642.301.360.410 8.238.305.009.422 9.668.879.045.641 4,46% 4,75% 7,89% 9,03% 2,39% 2,82% 4,36% 4,77% 63 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 Total asset turnover Financial leverage ROA 0,65 0,72 0,73 0,66 2,88 2,35 2,48 2,87 1,55% 2,02% 3,18% 3,15% Table 7. Dupont Model Analysis Table of TTC AgriS in 2019–2022 Figure 7. Graph showing ROE and ROA in Dupont model analysis The presented table and graph offer valuable information regarding the company's Dupont model, allowing for meaningful analysis and understanding. In 2019, TTC - Bien Hoa had the lowest levels of ROA and ROE, reaching 1.55% and 4.46% respectively. Additionally, the average total asset turnover of only 0.65 indicates that the company's utilization of its assets is not efficient. The company's financial leverage was low at 2.88, and the net profit margin was also low at 2.39%, suggesting that the company generates relatively low profits from its sales. In 2020, the company experienced an increase in both its ROA and ROE to 2.02% and 4.75% respectively. While there was an improvement in the total asset turnover, it remained low at 0.72. Additionally, the company's financial leverage decreased to an average of 2.35. On a positive note, the net profit margin showed an upward trend, 64 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 reaching 2.82%. This improvement suggests an enhancement in the company's business performance. In 2021, the company's financial performance showed a notable increase in the net profit margin, reaching 4.36%. The company’s total asset turnover is 0.73, indicating slightly more efficient utilization of assets compared to the index in 2020 (0.72). Nonetheless, the company's ROA continued to trend upward, reaching 3.18%. The financial leverage also increased to 2.48, suggesting a gradual increase in the use of borrowed capital. Moreover, the company maintained a high ROE of 7.89%, indicating a favorable return on investment for shareholders. In 2022, the ROE of the company still increased to 9.03%. While the company's ROA faced a slight downward to 3.15%. Additionally, there was a decrease in the total asset turnover, which remained at a low level of 0.66. Besides, the company's financial leverage increased to 2.87. On a positive note, the net profit margin continued to improve, rising to 4.77% compared to the previous year. These findings highlight the importance for the company to prioritize enhancing asset management and reducing financial leverage in order to ensure stability and sustainable growth in the future. Besides the positive improvement index over the past four years. To improve the company's business performance and stabilize growth, the following recommendations were made: The company's Total Asset Turnover increased considerably from 0.65% in 2019 to 0.73% in 2021 and then declined to 0,66% in 2022, indicating inefficient use of assets. Compared to 2019, this index was higher but just a slight increase. The result shows that for each dong of assets, there will be 0,66 dong of corresponding revenue. Therefore, the company should explore ways to improve asset liquidity, as an increase in total asset turnover will enable each dong invested in assets to generate more revenue and contribute to steady growth. Over the last 4 years, the company's Financial Leverage Ratio decreased slightly from 2,88 in 2019 to 2,47 in 2021 and then increased to 2,87 in 2022. This indicates that the company has been relying more on debt financing to support its business growth. However, this also means that the company's business risks have increased. 65 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 Although the company's ROA rose significantly from 2019 to 2021, it dropped slightly to 3.15% in 2022. This suggests that the company has been struggling with asset efficiency so SBT must be careful at this point. To improve ROA, the company needs to enhance asset efficiency and cost management to boost ROS. In conclusion, to achieve consistent growth and better performance, a company must conduct a comprehensive review of its financial aspects and identify ways to improve asset liquidity, lower financial leverage, and enhance financial management efficiency, as well as other metrics, and adapt them to increase agility, improve equity performance, and promote digital innovation. These measures will help the company achieve its future growth targets. 66 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 CHAPTER 08. FORECASTING & FIRM EVALUATION Our assessment of Thanh Thanh Cong - Bien hoa company is based on its intrinsic value. The intrinsic value of the company will be determined using the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method, which has five steps. In addition, the team also created a short-term 10-year estimate to get an idea of the company's future status as well as utilize these calculations to evaluate the company. Step 1: Determine the company's free cash flow: The team used the data from the cash flow statement of the company to calculate Thanh Thanh Cong - Bien Hoa company's free cash flow. The precise formula states that total capital expenditures must be subtracted from net cash flow from operating operations in order to compute FCF. The team used the cash for purchasing fixed assets to represent the total capital expenditures because capital expenditures are sums of money that a business invests to purchase or upgrade fixed, physical, or non-consumable assets.

The group looks to the following sources of data to be able to anticipate development at a realistic rate: - Long-term growth in sugar industry is anticipated because when compared to 2020– 2021, sugar production increased by 7.5% and sugar cane production by more than 11.6%. 67 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 - The growth rate of Thanh Thanh Cong - Bien hoa company's equity and free cash flow over the last five years. Even though the growth index was negative in 2018– 2019, this index increased and attained a positive index in the following periods and reached an average of 12,98%. This suggests promising potential for the company's future business activities. 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Average -4,56% 31,33% 7,80% 17,36% 12,98% Capita 6.097.359.934.316 5.819.192.895.545 7.642.301.360.410 8.238.305.009.422 9.668.879.045.641 l %∆ Capita l Table 8.2. Equity ratio of Thanh Thanh Cong - Bien Hoa JSC in the period of 2019-2022 - Taking into account the variables, such as the economy's state, pandemics, natural disasters,... that could potentially have an impact on the company's future cash flow. Summarizing the aforementioned three elements, it can be said that while Thanh Thanh Cong - Bien Hoa company's condition overall appears promising, there are still hazards, as shown by the earlier-mentioned signs. The group has therefore chosen to suggest the company development index evaluation at 8% for the following ten years. Step 3: Calculate The Terminal Value: The terminal value is the sum of money we wish to get if we sell the business at a specific time (in this case, after keeping it for 10 years). The average Market Capitalization/FCF ratio for a previous time period suggests the final number. The group has determined a suitable multiple for FCF, which is 13,61 times, assuming the company is sold in the tenth year based on historical data. As a result, we may anticipate that the company will be sold for a price that is 13,61 times its FCF for that particular year. Market capitalization / FCF 2018 2019 2020 2021 2021 Average 6,66 3,42 21,66 28,60 7,70 13,61 Table 8.3. Market capitalization/FCF of TTC - Bien Hoa JSC for the period 2019-2022 Step 4: Discount all future cash flows: It is necessary to discount all free cash flows to the base year (2022) in order to determine how much that future money contributes to the intrinsic value of the company 68 Downloaded by dyy dyy (nguyenvu.31231020609@st.ueh.edu.vn) lOMoARcPSD|31828458 today. Although the cash flow that will appear in the future will add value to the business, it does not represent the business's present value. It requires a discount rate in order to discount these sums. If we don't purchase Thanh Thanh Cong - Bien Hoa company right away, this value will demonstrate that we can invest instead and produce a future rate of return equal to this discount rate. The group uses the following variables to determine the discount rate: Although the company's financial status is somewhat unstable, it has shown encouraging indicators and indicates that it will continue to grow in the future. The yield on 10-year government bonds is 5.3%, market interest rates (measured as the 10-year growth rate of the VN-Index) are about 8%, and the current tax rate is 10%. The group decides on a relative discount rate of 11% as a result. The present value of currencies in 10 years is calculated as: PV = FV/(1+11%)n Step 5: Add up all of the present values of future FCF (terminal values included): The intrinsic worth of the Thanh Thanh Cong - Bien Hoa company is obtained by adding all the current values of the money. The evaluated final intrinsic value of the company should be added to the company's cash holdings (2.563 billion VND) because the company's current cash holdings can also build value through investments and directly contribute to the company's intrinsic value.
