At the same time, the Company will use the above list of key shareholders to hold the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in 2023. The scheduled meeting time is April 15, 2023.
It is known that at the previous Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, Ben Tre Fisheries approved the plan to pay a cash dividend of 20-30%, at the same time, the business target is VND520 billion in revenue and VND45 billion in profit after tax.
Recently, the Company had consolidated financial statements for the fourth quarter of 2022 with revenue of more than VND144 billion, up 9.92% over the same period last year; but profit after tax decreased by 15.1%, reaching VND12.54 billion.
The reason for the decline in profit, according to Ben Tre Fisheries, was due to the volatile market situation in the fourth quarter of 2022, causing the selling prices of some items to decrease relative to the same period last year.
However, thanks to positive business results in the second quarter, accumulated in 2022, the Company recorded positive growth. Specifically, in 2022, ABT's revenue will reach VND617.43 billion, up 79.77% over the previous year and exceeding 18.74% of the target; profit after tax reached VND64.29 billion, increased by 90.23% and exceeded 42.87% of the plan.
