some of them, including TH True Milk, Dutch Lady, Nestle, Nuti-Food, and others, have enjoyed notable success Vietnam Dairy Products Joint Stock Company, which was named one of the top 200 best revenue-generating listed companies in Asia Pacific in 2019 (Forbes Asia), is focused on this project (VNM) Vinamilk has been growing for at least 40 years and has progressively consolidated its position in the market 3|Page The first problem affecting Vinamilk's operations is the rural population's high percentage of low-income residents Lower income individuals will limit the consumption of the nation's output, which will lower profits and sales revenue for the corporation if the economy's growth slows down in the upcoming term Additionally, lowering dairy product duties will provide beneficial circumstances for imported dairy products The company's operations are impacted by exchange rate swings because it imports 50% of its raw materials and generates 30% of its income from exports Finally, Viet Nam's WTO membership will make it possible for international businesses to enter the domestic market As a result, the industry's enterprises will face more competition To reach its market leader position in the Vietnam market, VNM keeps customer loyalty and performs effective competitive strategies Milk sector is where customer loyalty might change if the firm is satisfied with its current position and has no new innovations II VINAMILK Analysis 1 Expert System – 5Cs 1.1.Character First of all, Vinamilk from the beginning has determined that this is the unit that plays a pivotal role in the production and supply of fresh cow's milk raw materials to supply to processing factories with the head of Mrs Mai Kieu Lien The company's activities are quite diverse, including: dairy farming; mixed farming and animal husbandry; production of animal, poultry and aquatic feed; wholesale agricultural, forest products raw materials and live animals; agents (cow semen, veterinary drugs, animal feed, ) Initially, the farm had a total herd of about 1,400 dairy cows with a total workforce of 92 people Up to now, the company's charter capital has reached 1,550 billion VND with the total number of employees up to 480 people The encouraging maturity of the corporation after 8 years of efforts to carry out the mission is expressed through various achievements Top 10 Vietnamese high quality product by the Association of Vietnamese High Quality Products (1995-2020), Vinamilk is ranked number one in Forbes Vietnam's "Top 50 Most Valuable Brands" (2016-2020) Besides, there are many international achievements, such as the Top 200 Asia's Best Over A Billion (Forbes Magazine, 2019), the Top 10 World's Most Valuable Dairy Brands, the Top 3 World's Most Potential Dairy Brands, and the Top 5 World's Strongest Food Brands (Brand Finance’s Annual Report 2020 (United Kingdom)) 4|Page Currently, all dairy barn systems are invested in and built by the Vinamilk company according to the world's most modern technology, making the best quality of products and the highest quantity of products and services Therefore, Vinamilk profit goes toward the benefit of the customer, that means they always bring belief to the consumer In order to master modern technology and equipment, the company pays great attention to training and developing human resources Every year, about 10 students with good/excellent university entrance exam results are selected and sent by the Company to train in the Russian Federation on dairy farming Based on the importance of investing in human resources as a key factor, Vinamilk company has the prospect of effectively implementing the proposed long-term investment strategies Additionally, in accordance with the State Securities Commission's rules, Vinamilk consistently releases complete financial statements as a business that was listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange in 2006 Finally, all of this raises Vinamilk's value and establishes it as a trustworthy company 1.2.Capacity Capacity is the ability to repay the loan with interest as per the predetermined schedule (Here 'capacity’ refers to financial capacity to repay the loan Capacity is different from legal capacity, which refers to capacity or eligibility to enter into a loan contract.) Capacity depends on two factors The first factor is the borrower's financial position that should be stable The second is the borrower must be able to generate sufficient net income to service the loan repayment To analyze whether the borrower’s financial position is stable, lenders often seek financial data from the customer In the case of personal loans, borrowers are often required to give details of income and expenditure, and the net surplus available for repayment The lender also finds details of the existing assets and liabilities of the borrower Assets may consist of property, investment in stocks, managed funds and/or term deposits Liabilities may consist of outstanding balances on loans and credit cards Lenders typically want audited financial statements and predicted cash flow in the case of businesses to assess the borrower's financial health or creditworthiness The lender takes into account both the risks and profits of the new initiative that the company is proposing The main source from which repayment is anticipated to occur is capacity At the outset, it's crucial to evaluate the main sources of debt payback To analysis the ability to repay loan of Vinamilk, lenders often consider DIT ratio 5|Page Total Debt Debt – to – Gross income = Revenue Year 2019 2020 2021 28.65% Debt – to Gross income 26.54% 24.76% Table 1: Capacity Ratio From the table, the lender can see that the debt-to-equity ratio decreases slightly from 2019 to 2020 After that, this ratio showed an upward trend between 2020 and 2021 This ratio has been less than 50% for all three years; the total debt of the company is less than the revenue from sales of goods and services So lenders can conclude that this accounts for only a small portion of the company's total revenue, so the company is less likely to have bad debt On the other hand, the company is financing its operations mainly from the owner's capital contribution and from the accumulated after-tax profit over the years This shows that the enterprise can be financially independent and does not need to borrow too much, thus reducing the financial pressure on the business and minimizing interest and expense, thereby improving business results Moreover, Vinamilk is also considered a company with strong financial health and a leading company in the milk market in Vietnam Vinamilk is also among the top 30 enterprises with the largest capitalization index in Vietnam Not only being successful in Viet Nam, Vinamilk is also very successful abroad, with milk exports to more than 40 countries around the world Vinamilk's financial strength and reputation are indisputable, so lending to this company has very little risk 1.3.Cash – Financial Performance of Vinamilk  Liquidity Analysis Years 2019 2020 2021 Current Ratio 1.81x 1.90x 2.10x Quick Ratio 1.37x 1.74x 1.72x Table 2: Liquidity Ratio Liquidity indicators reflect the ability of the business to pay off short-term loans Generally, Vinamilk’s Current Ratio and Quick Ratio is higher than 1 times (which is considered as benchmark), which has remained stable and safe over the years Beside, the growth of current assets over current liability is uptrend, expressing Vinamilk's ability of controlling leverage 6|Page relatively well, increased by 2.1 times compared to the previous year The acid test ratio evaluates a company's capacity to settle its immediate obligations without having to sell inventory or seek out additional funding, which has benchmark equal 1, meaning be normal quick ratio Acid test ratio of Vinamilk is almost higher than 1, even rising up 1.74 times in 2020 and adjusted slightly at 1.72 times in 2021, that means Vinamilk has 1.72 (VND) of liquid assets available to cover each 1 (VND) of current liabilities Looking at the graph, we can easily see the trend line of Vinamilk's liquidity ratio during the recent 3 years Finally, it can be concluded that Vinamilk has comparatively sound financial standing and the acceptable capacity to repay short-term loans, as a result, the first criterion of Vinamilk's financial performance supports this decision to take out a short-term loan  Efficiency analysis Year 2019 2020 2021 2.3x 1.9x Account Receivable Turnover 2.3x 3.8x 7.1x 12.2x 9x Account Payable Turnover 3.9x 32 days 35 days 56 days 71 days Inventory Turnover 11.3x 170 days 170 days The average collection period 29 days Days Inventory Held 61 days Days Accounts Payable Outstanding 150 days Table 3: Efficiency Ratio We stated earlier that one of the characteristics of a financially sound business is that it is run efficiently To measure efficiency, financial analysts calculate the efficiency ratios The efficiency ratios measure how efficiently the business has employed its assets These ratios are based on the relationship between the level of activity (represented by sales or the cost of goods sold) and the levels of various assets The important efficiency ratios are:  The inventory turnover ratio  The average collection period The inventory turnover ratio The inventory turnover ratio shows the efficiency of management of inventory The ratio of net sales to inventory is called the inventory turnover ratio Net Sale Inventory turnover ratio = Inventory For Vinamilk company, the inventory turnover was: 7|Page  11.3x in 2019  12.2x in 2020  9x in 2021 The inventory turnover ratio of Vinamilk is between 9.0 and 12.7 There is no benchmark for this ratio because the type of inventory determines what the ratio should be The inventory ratio of Vinamilk is very high because the company is producing and selling daily necessities – products from milk A high ratio would indicate that the inventory is fast moving and that the products of the business are in high demand The ratio of Vinamilk is quite high so it is good It means that the inventory management of the business is very efficient The average collection period This ratio shows the efficiency in collection of receivables A business that is efficient in debt collection will face fewer liquidity problems The average collection period is the ratio of receivables to average sales per day The average collection period is calculated by the Receivables following formula: Average Collection Period = Average sales per day For Vinamilk, the average collection period was  29 days in 2019  32 days in 2020  35 days in 2021 The average collection period should be equal to or less than the firm’s credit terms for its customers If it is the policy of Vinamilk to allow up to one month’s credit only, then the ratio as above is unsatisfactory The firm's credit policy is usually determined according to the general market practice New firms generally allow a longer credit period to penetrate the market Similarly, firms may allow a longer credit period when introducing new products If the average collection period calculated by the above formula is less than the credit term generally allowed by the firm, then the debt collection of the firm can be regarded as efficient Account Receivable Turnover The Account Receivable Turnover of Vinamilk decreased slightly from 2.3x to 1.9x from 2019 to 2021 This index is generally quite good, its downtrend is not a good sign because the receivables turnover ratio is higher each month/quarter/year Thus, it is confirmed that the debts and receivables have been effective This means that Vinamilk is not in a positive financial position in 2021 8|Page Account Payable Turnover The Account Payable Turnover of Vinamilk rose strongly from 2019 to 2021 (3.9x to 7.1x) This index is generally quite high That proves the financial health of this company is quite good The reason is that the higher the payables turnover ratio, the better the debt payment ability of the business and the strong financial position of the business Day Inventory Held Day Inventory Held of Vinamilk was an average number, but it had an upward trend between 2019 to 2021 Because this metric shows the length of time a company's cash is stuck in liquidity because of unsold inventory This data is higher because the company may want to keep inventory high to achieve high order fulfillment rates, for example because the company predicts strong sales for the coming year Days Accounts Payable Outstanding This number is an upward tendency from 2019 to 2021 An increase in this index may indicate that Vinamilk is using available cash for short-term investments and increasing working capital and free cash flow (FCF)  Profitability analysis Year 2019 2020 2021 Profit after tax/ Revenue Profit after tax/ Equity (ROE) 19% 19% 17% Profit after tax/ Total Assets (ROA) Operating profit/ Net revenue 38% 35% 31% 26% 24% 21% 23% 23% 21% Table 4: Profitability Ratio The year 2021 witnessed negative impacts from the COVID pandemic on Vinamilk However, through efforts to expand the business and control costs, the Company’s profit margins remained high regardless of the modest year-over-year decrease  Return on Assets (ROA) This ratio demonstrates how well assets are used to produce income Since it is calculated by dividing net income by total assets, in general, the greater the rate of return, the more successfully the company turns its investments into net income Vinamilk's ROA may still be regarded as a high rate and produced more money on less investment even though there was a 9|Page slight reduction over the five-year period compared to the industry average ROA, which is 0.27, according to Investing.com research in 2021  Return on Equity (ROE) ROE is a metric used to assess a company's profitability in relation to stockholder equity By using the result calculated by dividing net income by shareholders' equity The best way to use ROE is to compare the statistic to the industry average, which is 28.88% It is obvious that VINAMILK's ROE exceeds industry averages by up to 8.27% The difference between these percentages is acceptable because a typical ROE may be 10% or less than the industry standard  Operating profit performance By dividing operating income over total revenue, this metric expresses how the company generates its profit on a per-sale basis after considering variable costs except any interest or taxes (EBIT) In the VINAMILK case, the operating profit margin had slightly fallen off from 2019 to 2021 by 1.03 Though, using the average in the dairy industry in 2021 (20.94%), Vinamilk can still be considered as a strong firm in maximizing its operations and profit  Revenue growth In the context that the Vietnam economy began to show signs of recovery after the pandemic, in the first quarter of 2022 (“1Q2022”), Vinamilk’s consolidated net revenue continued the uptrend at 5.2% YoY growth, reaching VND 13,878 billion and completed 21.3% of the annual guidance (VND 64,070 billion) According to the General Statistics Office (GSO), total retail sales of goods and consumer services in 1Q2022 increased by 4.4% YoY Vietnam is currently one of the six countries with the highest COVID-19 vaccination rate in the world Net cash balance as of 30 September 2021 was VND 12,686 billion, equivalent to 24% of total assets Total capital expenditure in 9M2021 was more than VND 1 trillion For the whole group, Vinamilk is operating a network of 17 local and overseas factories, 15 dairy farms with a total herd of cows reaching nearly 160,000  Leverage Ratio  Liabilities to asset ratio Controlling the financial situation of the business is an extremely important issue of the business The tool that owners prefer to use is the ratio of total debt to total assets A company's debt-to-assets ratio is one of the groups of debt ratios or leverage ratios included in a financial 10 | P a g e ratio analysis The debt-to-assets ratio indicates the percentage of total assets paid for with borrowed money, represented by debt on a business company's balance sheet About Vinamilk company, we can calculate liabilities to asset ratio based on formula: Total Liabilities Liabilities to asset ratio = Total Assets Year 2019 2020 2021 0.3053x 0.3278x Liabilities to asset ratio 0.3349x 0.4394x 0.4876x 0.0271x 0.0263x Liabilities to shareholders equity ratio 0.5035x 0.0173x 0.0177x Long term debt to long term capital ratio 0.0417x Long term debt to shareholder’s equity ratio 0.0251x Table 5: Leverage Ratio We can see from the table, liabilities to asset ratio tends to decrease slightly (approximately 2.96%) from year 2019 to 2020 A Vinamilk company with a reduced liability to asset ratio indicates a company with less liabilities This is a good sign of the company's financial health But from 2020 to 2021, it shows signs of increasing again (about 2.25%) indicating that the company is at a disadvantage in terms of revenue prospects and poor long-term growth that will affect retained equity  Liabilities to shareholder equity ratio Liabilities to shareholder equity ratio is the ratio between the capital raised by the business by borrowing to the capital invested by the owners Liabilities to shareholder equity is calculated formula below: Liabilities to shareholder equity = Total Liabilities Total shareholder’s equity According to the table, liabilities to shareholder equity had a strong decrease from 0.5035x to 0.4394x during the first two years A high liability to shareholder equity ratio shows that a business uses a lot of debt to finance its business If it is reduced, it shows that the company's capital for operations is abundant equity, low debt, not under much financial pressure and is doing business effectively However, from 2020 to 2021, liabilities to shareholder equity ratio will increase to 0.4876x If it increases, it shows that the company's ability to repay debts is difficult 11 | P a g e  Long term debt to long term capital ratio Long term debt to long term capital ratio is calculated using the formula: Long term debt to long term capital ratio = Long term debt Long term capital Overall, it is easy to see that the long term debt to long term capital ratio percentage of Vinamilk company follows the downward trend from 2019 to 20120 In 2019, the long term debt to long term capital ratio was only 0.0417x at the end of the year, however on 31 Dec 2020, it decreased to 0.0271x (reduced approximately 2% compared to the previous year) Coming to next year – 2021, Vinamilk company has a drop in long term debt to long term capital ratio (with at 0.0263x)  Long term debt to shareholder’s equity ratio The long-term debt to shareholder’s equity ratio is a solvency measure that shows how much financial leverage a company has The long-term debt to shareholder’s equity ratio formula is calculated by dividing long-term liabilities by total shareholder’s equity Based on the table, the long term debt to shareholder’s equity ratio ranges from 0.0251 times to 0.0177x and tends to increase and decrease over the years and the highest is in 2019 However, by 2020, this rate will decrease to 0.0173x Entering 2021, this rate suddenly increased to 0.0177 (about 0.04%) Rising long term debt to long term capital ratio make Vinamilk company feel secure to lend without fear of bad debt An increase in this ratio indicates that the company's investments are less risky, since debt is the main source of financing and is the cause of a higher risk of a decrease in solvency 1.4.Collateral One of the crucial factors in assessing the quality of the loan is Collateral, which is considered as the secondary source of repayment When a loan can not be repaid out of the primary source, banks require collateral in case of unforeseen events to reduce the risk of default for the loan Mortgages, machinery, account receivable or even saleable inventory are examples of collateral in corporate loans First of all, we need to identify several types of Vinamilk’s assets considered as collateral Until now, Vinamilk system of 13 factories connecting with 13 dairy farms across the country, Tien 12 | P a g e Son Dairy Factory in the North, Da Nang Dairy Factory, Binh Dinh Dairy Factory, Can Tho Dairy Factory in the Southwest region, are some examples According to tuoitre.vn, Vietnam Powdered Milk Factory and Vietnam Dairy Products Factory are two factories that are classified as "super factories" owing to its modern automatic technology Almost all Vinamilk's factories also equip modern technology to improve productivity and quality of product and services, therefore, Vinamilk is able to currently cover the demands of both the domestic and foreign markets by producing 5.1 million liters of liquid milk per day, which equivalent to more than 28 million milk cartons Besides, Vinamilk owns Ho Chi Minh and Ha Noi warehousing Enterprise, including raw materials for production and serving finished products for export One of the secured assets is tangible and intangible fixed assets, until to the ending of year of 2021 Vinamilk owns a large amount of fixed assets, including tangible fixed assets accounting for 90% of total fixed assets, which is building and structures, machinery and equipment, motor vehicles, office equipment, etc; and intangible fixed assets such as land use rights, trademark, raw materials, software and etc However, Vinamilk’s fixed assets are downtrend during the last three years, therefore, it is needed to assess more detail if using collateral for the loans Furthermore, Vinamilk's inventory is one of the specialty products with shelf life regulations, but the company has applied the EOQ model to its inventory management, and its inventory is currently about 6,820 billion VND, falling to 5,792 billion VND until the third quarter of 2022 The types of inventory are primarily raw materials and finished goods, which are also considered secured assets for the loan The last secured asset we mention is accounts receivable Looking at the above table, Vinamik’s account receivable is up to 5,954 billion VND in the third quarter of 2022, increasing slightly compared to the first quarter of 2022 The main sources of receivables are accounts receivable from customers; the remaining are prepayments 13 | P a g e to suppliers and others Due to its short term, all of them recover within 12 months With Vinamilk's account receivables, it can be assumed Vinamilk will fully repay the loans after recovering; therefore, that is considered collateral for the loan It is concluded that the secondary sources of Vinamilk repayment are quite various, but it is necessary that we need to experience reality in Vinamilk to more accurately analyze before making the loan decision 1.5.Condition A considerable number of factors make a great contribution to the business activities of the firm, divided into external and internal factors The initial one is widely beyond the control of the company due to factors such as government policies, natural disasters, technological advances, rationalization, and globalization With current macroeconomic circumstances, world inflation is strongly increasing, therefore prompting most major central banks in the world to accelerate the tightening process and raise interest rates to control inflation Even if the inflation rate in Vietnam is relatively low compared to other economies (about 4% as of September 2022), SBV has researched and introduced annual-oriented credit targets to control inflation, stabilizing the money market As a result, before making a loan decision, the bank must carefully consider all of its options In this case, the bank considers whether VINAMILK would be a potential customer Furthermore, the internal factors that are under the regulation of Vinamilk can be mentioned as the management style and the structure After assessing and analyzing some of the aforementioned Vinamilk factors, we believe that the company has an effective administrative system and professional culture, as well as a leadership and management style that has contributed to customer trust in the quality of its products and services over the years 2 Risk Premium Analysis The risk premium is the difference between the required rate of return on a conventional investment, versus the rate of return on a risk-free investment It is a form of compensation for holding higher risk assets The risk premium represents the relationship between risk and expected return, with the higher the risk, the higher the return an investor is expected to receive It will be different for investors with different risk appetites Risk-averse investors will tend to demand a higher rate of return than risk-averse investors 14 | P a g e To obtain the data of the interest rate of the corporate bond (i) and the risk free rate (r), we take information from Vietnam credit We determine the same maturity for treasury bond and corporate bond interest rate applied by Vinamilk for a one-year working capital loan We understand zero-interest corporate bonds with a BB rating of 5.50% based on Fitch's Vietnam credit rating Without recovery rate, based on the formula: p = 1+ i , we can calculate the probability of 1+ r repayment (p) from 2019 to 2021 Year 2019 2020 2021 The interest rate on the corporate bond (r) 5.5% 5.5% 5.5% The risk free rate (i) 3.386% 2.451% 2.123% Probability of Repayment (p) 98.00% 97.11% 96.80% Table 6: Probability of Repayment WITHOUT Recovery Rate According to the above table, the probability of repayment decreases to 1.2% because the risk free rate reduces from 2019 to 2021 In 2019, the debt has a 98% chance to be repaid and a 2% probability of defaulting and risk premium is 2% In 2020, the debt has a 97.11% chance to be repaid and a 2.89% probability of defaulting so the risk premium is 3% In2021, the debt has a 96.8% chance to be repaid and a 3.2% probability of defaulting then risk premium is more than 3% With Recover rate, based on the financial performances and 5Cs is analyzed above, we assume that the recover rate (e) = 70%, we have the data of Risk Premium via the formula: 1+ i r − i = e + p − pe − (1 + 𝑖) Year 2019 2020 2021 Probability of Repayment (p) 93.32% 90.36% 89.33% Risk Premium (r - i) 2.114% 3.049% 3.377% Table 7: Probability of Repayment WITH Recovery Rate 15 | P a g e Looking to the table, we can easily see that with the recovery rate, the repayment capacity has decreased slightly over the years In 2019, the debt has a 93.32% chance to be repaid, and a 6.68% profitability of default and risk premium is 2.144% In 2020, the debt has a 90.36% chance to be repaid and a 9.64% probability of defaulting so the risk premium is 3.049% In2021, the debt has 89.33% chance to be repaid and a 10.67% probability of defaulting then risk premium is almost 3.377% 3 Econometric Analysis Econometric analysis is regarded as a complex statistical technique, but by correcting errors caused by expert systems and the calculation of applying premium-based models, it provided credit evaluation with a scientific foundation Regression analysis and discriminant analysis, two major subfields of statistics, are the foundations of econometric analysis, which is the study of the mathematical relationship between financial or economic variables We selected discriminant analysis, which is recognized as the most significant advancement in credit analysis with its application to financial distress, for this report of Vinamilk credit analysis The method was developed from psychology and biology to assess a business's creditworthiness The formula for the equation known as the Z score is as follows The Discriminant Zone (according to “VN30 Index: An Overview and Default Probability Analysis” research) of is presented in the below table Z-score “Safe” Zone “Grey” Zone “Distress” Zone Z Z > 2.99 1.8 < Z < 2.99 Z < 1.80 Table 8: Discriminant Zone The Altman Z-score is a model to estimate a company's likelihood of bankruptcy, particularly in the manufacturing sector A corporation may be on the verge of bankruptcy if its Altman Z- score is close to zero, while a number closer to three indicates sound financial standing First of all, it is mentioned that Altman Z scores are a popular calculation that was initially developed by Beaver (1966) and continuously exploited by Edward Altman (1968, 1993) Utilizing the Z-Score model to forecast management issues, especially those involving financial management, so that manager or lender may take prompt action to resolve
