| [16-March-2026] |
SINGAPORE, March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- VinFast Auto Ltd. ("VinFast" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: VFS), a pure-play electric vehicle ("EV") manufacturer with the mission of making EVs accessible to everyone, today announced its preliminary and unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.
EV deliveries were 86,557 in the fourth quarter of 2025, representing a 127% increase quarter-over-quarter and a 63% increase year-over-year. Among those, the commercial models under the Green brand and the EC Van model accounted for approximately 49% of total deliveries during the period. International markets maintained strong growth momentum, contributing for the first time approximately 18% of the total vehicle deliveries in a quarter. For the full year 2025, the Company delivered 196,919 EVs globally, representing a 102% increase year-over-year. The full year delivery result exceeded management's 2025 delivery guidance of at least doubling full year 2024 deliveries of 97,399 EVs and marked VinFast's highest annual deliveries since its inception. E-scooter and e-bike deliveries were 171,962 in the fourth quarter of 2025, representing a 43% increase quarter-over-quarter and a 452% increase year-over-year. For the full year 2025, the Company delivered 406,498 e-scooters and e-bikes, representing a 473% increase year-over-year. Revenue Maintains Strong Growth Momentum, Profit Margins Improve Significantly As a result, total revenues were VND 39,411.7 billion (US$1,568.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 138.9% from the fourth quarter of 2024 and an increase of 117.7% from the third quarter of 2025. Total revenues were VND 90,427.6 billion (US$3,599.7 million) in 2025, representing an increase of 105.4% from 2024. Gross margin was negative 39.9% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to negative 79.1% in the fourth quarter of 2024 and negative 56.2% in the third quarter of 2025. The improvement in gross margin compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 and the third quarter of 2025 reflects the benefits of scale and a more optimized cost structure. Gross margin was negative 42.5% in 2025, compared to negative 57.4% in 2024. As of December 31, 2025, customers can purchase VinFast EVs from 424 showrooms globally. Madame Thuy Le, Chairwoman of VinFast, said: "2025 was another landmark year for VinFast – but more importantly, it was a year of disciplined investment behind our core mission: making electric mobility and sustainable journey accessible to everyone. Every strategic decision we make is anchored to that objective, including investing in technology, industrial capabilities, and global expansion. For 2026 and beyond, scale and unit cost optimization remain the primary levers in our path to profitability. These will be supported by strategic investments to expand overseas capacity, the commercialization of our next-gen vehicles, and collaboration with partners from within Vingroup's ecosystem and other established players to further integrate the use of Artificial Intelligence inside our EVs and factories to ultimately lower the total cost of ownership for our customers." Ms. Lan Anh Nguyen, Chief Financial Officer of VinFast, added: "Our 2025 results reflect a focus on accelerating revenue growth while improving operating efficiency over time. By exceeding our 2025 guidance while only operating our flagship factory at roughly two-thirds capacity during the year, we have demonstrated our ability to scale more efficiently. The fourth quarter of 2025 reflected the strongest financial performance we have delivered to date, with several key metrics reaching new highs as we begin to see early benefits of scale." Product Expansion and Progress Across Markets Product Expansion: VinFast has completed the strategic launch of its EV portfolio under three distinct brands, each with a clear market focus and identity:
Two seven-seat MPV models have been launched to address distinct customer segments. Limo Green, launched in early 2025, targets B2B and corporate fleet operators, while the VF MPV 7, launched in January 2026, is designed for individual consumers and families. Both models are planned for rollout across VinFast's key Asian markets. The next generation of the VF 6 and VF 7 is expected to commence start of production ("SOP") in the second half of this year. The Limo Green, VF MPV 7, and the next generation of the VF 6 and VF 7 are designed to deliver lower bill-of-materials costs through reduced component count and simplified system design enabled by VinFast's new vehicle platform and next-generation electrical and electronic ("E/E") architecture. Achieved Top-5 BEV Market Positions Across Key Markets: In Vietnam, VinFast maintained a leading position in the automotive market, ending 2025 with an estimated 36% market share compared to approximately 22% in 2024. VinFast also ended the year as the leading e-scooter brand in Vietnam. In other key Asian markets such as India, Indonesia, and the Philippines, VinFast continues to expand its market share and strengthen its market position through a diverse product lineup, a comprehensive ecosystem, and an ever-growing network of dealerships, service workshops, and partners. In India, VinFast made steady progress, based on Vahan registrations among battery EV brands, climbing from No.8 in October 2025 to No.4 in December 2025 despite only beginning vehicle sales in September 2025, and has maintained its position since then through February 2026. In Indonesia, VinFast ended 2025 as the No.3 BEV brand according to the Association of Indonesia Automotive Industries (GAIKINDO). In the Philippines, VinFast ended 2025 as the No.2 BEV brand according to the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc (CAMPI). Manufacturing Milestones: The Company's manufacturing utilization and operational efficiency continued to improve at its largest plant in Hai Phong, Vietnam. The facility celebrated the 200,000th EV of the year rolling off the assembly line on December 31, 2025, and produced nearly 26,000 EVs in December 2025 alone. In June 2025, VinFast officially inaugurated the VinFast Ha Tinh electric vehicle manufacturing plant in the Vung Ang Economic Zone, less than seven months after the project was initiated. In August 2025, VinFast inaugurated its first overseas factory with the opening of its Tamil Nadu plant in India. In December 2025, VinFast opened its second overseas factory in Subang, Indonesia. As of Dec 31, 2025, VinFast operates four facilities globally with a combined maximum annual capacity of approximately 600,000 EVs, consisting of 300,000 EVs p.a. in Hai Phong and 200,000 EVs p.a. in Ha Tinh (Vietnam), 50,000 EVs p.a. in Indonesia, and 50,000 EVs p.a. in India. The Company also manufactures e-scooters in Hai Phong with an annual capacity of approximately 500,000 units. Smart manufacturing is central to the Company's longer-term profitability. Within the Vingroup ecosystem, VinFast is working closely with an affiliated company, VinRobotics, which focuses on the development of intelligent robotics, automation systems and physical AI technologies for industrial applications. VinRobotics' platform includes industrial humanoid robots and AI-enabled automation layers designed to operate in complex factory environments, enabling higher levels of automation and productivity. VinFast's collaboration with VinRobotics focuses on improving factory productivity, quality control and operational efficiency, supporting higher utilization and increased automation as production volumes scale, and contributing to structural improvements in the Company's cost base. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems ("ADAS") progress: Following VinFast's roadmap from ADAS Level 2+ ("L2+") and Level 2++ ("L2++") toward Level 4 ("L4"), the Company plans to expand robocar trials to major cities and selected international markets. VinFast views L4 as strategic optionality, while remaining disciplined on capital deployment in the near term. VinFast is pursuing a capital-efficient approach through an in-house ADAS research institute while working with select external partners for L4. VinFast is collaborating with Tensor, a pioneering AI company developing personally owned L4 autonomous robocars, as the manufacturing and industrialization partner for Tensor's robocar program. Fully functional prototypes for the program have already been tested by Tensor in multiple regions. The program is currently in the pre-production phase and is being advanced toward commercialization. VinFast is also engaged in discussions with various technology and mobility companies on robotaxi development. The Company will continue to make strategic investments aimed at developing core technologies across its vertically integrated technology stack including a roadmap for ADAS L2+ to L4, smart services software and domain/zonal architecture. At the same time, we will continue to collaborate with strategic technology partners, both externally and within the broader Vingroup R&D ecosystem. Conference Call The Company's management will host its fourth quarter 2025 earnings conference call at 8:00 AM U.S. Eastern Time on March 16, 2025.
