I would now like to turn the call over to your first speaker today, Ms. Ni Yuan.

Please go ahead.

Thank you, operator, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to VinFast Quarterly Earnings Call. Joining me today are Chairwoman of the Board, Madam Thuy Le, Deputy CEO of Investments, Ms. Anne Pham, and our CFO, Ms. Lan Nguyen. Before we begin, please note today's call will include forward-looking statements under U.S. federal securities law.

Please refer to our most recent filings with the SEC for a discussion of these risk factors. We will also reference certain non-GAAP financial measures, a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly compatible GAAP figures, along with explanation of their use is included in our presentation issue earlier today. With that, I would like to invite Madam Thuy to begin the management remarks.

Thank you, Nhi. Hello, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. In addition to Lan Anh, our CFO, I'm very pleased to have Anne Pham, Deputy CEO of Investment, on the call with us today. This quarter has marked a significant milestone We became the first automobile brand in Vietnam to surpass 100,000 vehicle sales within the first three quarters of a single year. This follows 13 consecutive months as the nation's best-selling carmaker, underscoring our unrivaled leadership in the domestic automotive market. Growth across our core international markets also continues to gain momentum. Before I go into the country updates, I would like to start with three key takeaways for this quarter. First of all, VinFast remains in growth mode, both at home and abroad. In the third quarter, we delivered 38,195 EVs, representing a 74% increase year-over-year and 7% quarter-over-quarter growth. For the first nine months of 2025, VinFast delivered 110,362 EVs to customers globally, representing a 149% increase year-over-year. We remain on track for our 2025 guidance to at least double the volumes. The S3 and the S5 together contributed 47% of total deliveries. while the green series accounted for 25% of deliveries. We delivered 120,052 e-scooters and e-bikes, representing a 535% increase year-over-year and 73% quarter-over-quarter growth. The number of EV deliveries to related parties, including GSM, represents 26% of total deliveries. E-scooter deliveries to related parties, including GSM, accounted for less than 1% of total volume, reflecting overwhelming demand from retail consumers. The strong momentum in our e-scooters volume showcases the accelerated shift toward electric two-wheelers following the announcement of a new policy to restrict gasoline motorbikes from entering central districts in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, starting in mid-2026. In Vietnam, we are strengthening our leadership position by broadening our EV e-scooter lineup and deepening our presence in the B2B fleet channel. Internationally, we continue to expand our green mobility ecosystem, a key differentiator for VinFast, while growing our dealership network and introducing new products as each market matures. The second takeaway for this quarter is about investing in innovation, which is central to VinFast's long-term competitiveness. Our R&D investments are focused on three critical areas, vehicle platform, electrical and electronic architecture, and autonomy. And we'll share more details shortly on this exciting roadmap. Last but not least, we are prioritizing top-line growth through targeted investment while viewing cost rationalization as a discipline medium-term priority. As I've shared before, finding the balance between growth and cost remains a long-term priority. This principle continues to guide our decisions as we invest in expansion and R&D in the near term to strengthen our foundation for the future. Lan Anh will provide more cover on this in her remarks. Now let me go into the details updates by markets, starting with Vietnam. Based on aggregated data from Vietnam's Automobile Manufacturer Association and domestic manufacturers, The auto industry reported a mixed result for the quarter, with sales dipping in August due to a typhoon before rebounding in September. The industry delivered 94,593 passenger vehicles, flat compared to Q3 2024 volumes, whereas VinPass Vietnam volumes grew 82% year-over-year during the same period. During this quarter, We ramped up production of the VF-3 at the Harting factory and launched two new models. The Limo Green, a seven-seater MPV, received strong market response with over 2,000 units delivered in September. We also proudly delivered the Lackholm 900LX fleet to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, marking the first armored EV certified to VPAM via seven standards. one of the most recognized international standards for vehicle armoring. In our two-wheeler segment, we continue to see strong momentum. As policies accelerate the phase-out of gasoline motorbikes, consumers are looking to switch to electric two-wheelers. InSpa now offers a full product range of electric two-wheelers, from affordable models for students to premium options for professionals. Two new e-scooter models with extended range are planned for 2026. VGreen, an affiliated charging company, is expanding battery infrastructure nationwide. Now turning to our international market, starting with India. Our CPD factory in Tamil Nadu commenced operations this August, partnering with an initial 38 local suppliers. We plan to further expand our local supplier network to enhance localization and strengthen the Made in India footprint of our vehicles. Sales in our first month in India exceeded our internal forecast, reflecting a decisive market debut and a stronger start than any of our previous Asia launches. In October, VinFast went within the top eight for EV registration in the country. As of September 13th, we opened 20 dealer stores, announcing financing partnerships with leading domestic banks and third-party after-sales service networks. Moving over to Indonesia, where the overall auto market declined about 11% year-over-year from January to September, though BEV sales rose rapidly to around 55,000 units, up from about 43,000 units a year ago. FinFast joined the Gaikindo Association recently and is now ranked fifth amongst the top five BV brands year-to-date and 15th amongst the 45 automakers. Despite temporary disruption from the August protests, we have expanded our dealership network to 33 locations year-to-date. VinFast has captured approximately 5% of Indonesia's BEV market. Indonesia is the first market where we introduced our green mobility ecosystem in partnership with GSM, an affiliated company. GSM now operates in four cities in Indonesia and serves passengers at Jakarta, Bekano, Hatta International Airports. With GSM using VinFast vehicles on the road and VGreen emerging as the second largest charging network in Indonesia, we are strengthening awareness of VinFast's holistic offering and setting ourselves apart from other OEMs. In the Philippines, we are capitalizing on this momentum with a stronger marketing push in the last quarter to build awareness about our core products. to VF3, VF5, and VF6. We are introducing a residual value guarantee program this month and expanding our battery substitution model. These programs are unprecedented in the Philippines auto market, and we are proud to be pioneering such consumer-first policies. InFast continues to grow in line with overall market. As of September 30th, we had 13 shows. As consumer confidence in VinFast grows, local enterprises are also embracing our green mobility vision. GSN Philippines has partnered with Central Motors to deploy 2,000 VinFast EVs across Metro Manila and key urban centers, a strong endorsement of our sustainable mobility models. In the U.S., we opened our first dealership in California and aim to strengthen brand visibility across the U.S. by partnering with our dealer network. Through joint participation in major events, such as Electrify Expo in Chicago, New York, and Dallas, key markets where our top dealers are based, we strengthen collaboration and amplify their local market presence. Planning also continues for our North Carolina manufacturing facility, which will support our long-term U.S. growth strategy. Over in Europe, our debut at Bus World Brussels was well received, marking an important milestone for VinFast's entry into Europe's commercial vehicle segment. Our EB12, the full-size 12-meter city bus, already meets UN ECE. and CE standards is now available for order in Europe, while the more compact EB8 will be introduced at a later stage. In the Middle East, we announced our strategic partnership with the Arabian Automobile Association to launch comprehensive brochure assistance for VinFast customers across six countries in the region. Taking a step back, When we look at the progress that we have made across our international markets, we recognize that as a new engine, it wouldn't take time for both our brand and green mobility ecosystem to fully mature. From expanding our dealership network to improving charging accessibility through vGreen and ensuring consumers benefit from the competitive total cost of ownership, we are executing our vision to make sustainable mobility accessible to everyone with deliberate thoughtfulness and discipline. As we look ahead, innovation remains at the heart of our journey. With that, let me turn it over to Anne, who will share more about our exciting R&D roadmap and how these investments are shaping BINFAST's future. Thank you, Madam Thuy. At VinFast Mobility Day held at Haiphong Automotive Factory on November 10th, we unveiled our product innovation and R&D roadmap as we're investing in shaping the future of mobility in years to come. In 2026, VinFast will offer three distinct brands. The first one, VinFast, comprised of smart EVs for everyday life, designed for mainstream consumers who want reliability, safety, technology, attractive cost of ownership, and best-in-class warranties. The Green Series, EV solutions for commercial purpose and base utilization for fleets. And last but not least, the Lack Home Series, which is designed and catered to the ultra-luxury market that embodies Vietnamese hospitality, premium materials, and quality craftsmanship. We're investing in the latest technologies to enhance customer experience and strengthen our competitiveness. VinFast is evolving its technology stack around three pillars, vehicle platform, architecture, and autonomy. By increasing commonality and reducing components, our next generation platform will be more cost-efficient to produce and have more enhanced features. We are also re-engineering our EE system into zonal architecture. All core softwares will now be owned and controlled by BinFast, while suppliers provide standardized hardware platforms. The centralized computing hub, which is essentially a vehicle supercomputer, enables rapid OTA updates, faster feature deployment, and consistent system stability. Finally, on autonomy, BinFast is taking a two-step approach towards our ADAS autonomous driving roadmap, choosing to work collaboratively with external partners while strengthening our in-house capabilities. At Mobility Day, we unveiled a demo of our Robotaxi project, whose intelligent system utilizes low computing power and vision-only technology. This approach allows for lower hardware cost, higher energy efficiency, and greater scalability. Our vision is that FinFast will be a multi-brand, full-line EV manufacturer spanning passenger, commercial, and autonomous segments. We will move from building EVs to building an entire mobility ecosystem for everyone, everywhere. With VinFast still very much in its growth phase, achieving our vision requires continued investment in R&D to strengthen our long-term competitiveness. There are still significant white space opportunities across our core markets, and our strategy remains to stay nimble and responsive to market dynamics while creating the right conditions for sustained EV adoption over the long term. With that, I'll now hand it over to Lan Anh, who will walk you through the financial highlights for the quarter.

Thank you, Anh. I'd like to frame our financial results within the context of our 100,000 vehicle milestone, a significant achievement reaching record time. Now let me walk you through our results in more detail. The company's strategy in Q3 2025 continued to focus on driving top-line growth. As a result, total revenue was $719 million, representing a 47% year-over-year increase and 9% quarter-over-quarter. We entered Q4 2025 with Sean on the backlog from the green series. Cost of goods sold for this quarter was $1.1 billion, an increase of 85% year-over-year and 21% quarter-over-quarter, reflecting the continued ramp-up in deliveries. Gross margin was negative 56.2% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to negative 24% in third quarter of 2024 and negative 41.1% in the second quarter of 2025. Gross margin this quarter was primarily impacted by the recognition of cost of busload for vehicles already delivered under customer contracts while the revenue recognition will occur in the subsequent periods. This amount was $176 million and reflects a timing difference rather than an economic loss. We also recorded higher warranty costs in the U.S. and Europe as we shifted to third-party service workshops, excluding the impact mainly due to delayed revenue recognition and NRV adjustments. Gosh margin would have been negative 17.1%, an improvement from negative 20.8% in Q2 2025, and negative 27.3% in the same period last year. Moving to the operating expenses, R&D expenses were $106 million, an increase of 15% quarter over quarter, and 28% year over year. As we booked the development cost for the Green Series, Lac Hong, and EasyVan, and for models that we plan to launch on our new vehicle platform in 2026. As a percentage of revenue, R&D in Q3 2025 was 15%, marking the fifth consecutive quarter where this is under 20%. Our existing models will undergo a technology refresh on the new vehicle platforms which will drive additional R&D in 2026. SG&A expenses for the quarter was $172 million, an increase of 27% quarter over quarter and 25% year over year. The higher SENA expense was due to an impairment charge of $49 million that we booked for the battery project and closure of our D2C showrooms in the U.S. and Europe. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes net loss from financial instruments, was negative $576 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin was negative 80.2%. excluding the impact mainly due to the delayed revenue recognition and NRV adjustment. Adjusted EBITDA margin would have been negative 33.1% compared to the negative 44.9% in the same period last year. Net loss for this quarter was similarly impacted. Net loss was negative US$953 million. and net loss margin was negative 132.7%. Excluding the impact mainly due to delay in revenue recognition and NRV, net loss was negative 81.8% compared to negative 109.1% in the same period last year. CapEx for this quarter was $261 million, an increase of 24% quarter-over-quarter and 108% year-over-year, driven by capex for the new factories overseas and for the expansion in Vietnam. Finally, an update on our liquidity and the previously announced grant and borrowing commitment in late 2024. As of 30 September, VinFast's outstanding borrowing from Vingroup under this commitment were $460 million. The company received a total of $1.1 billion disbursement from the outfielder person to the grant agreement. Our total available liquidity as of 30 September is $3.7 billion, which reflects cash proceeds from the Novatex spin-off transaction, fundraising commitment from Vingroup, our founder, and an e-log facility. Operator, let's open for Q&A.

Thank you. As a reminder, to ask questions, please press star 11 and wait for a name to be announced.

One moment for the first questions on the phone.

Our first question comes from the line of Anand Balaji from Canto Fitzgerald. Please go ahead.

Hey, guys. This is Anand for Andre Shepard at Canara. Congrats on the quarter, and thanks for taking our questions. So I just wanted to start with some autonomy items from the mobility day a couple weeks ago. So I was wondering maybe what's your expected timeline and cost expectations for developing your autonomy stack? Last we spoke, there's a lack of formal regulatory framework in Vietnam for AV. So what are the potential gating factors for this?

Hi, Anand. Good to hear from you again. Well, we developed both the autonomy stack both internally as well as leveraging other suppliers. So I think the plan for launching is next year in 2026 for the low-cost version for like verbal taxi in our, in Vingroup ecosystem, in Vingroup development, probably around 2028.

Gotcha. Thanks for that. And for the second question, I was wondering if you could refresh us on your capital needs and potentially when are you guys targeting a positive gross margin, if we could just get a little color on your trajectory on that front. Thank you.

Well, I think as of now we have our total liquidity is like $3.47 billion at the end of the quarter. So we're good for another 18 months based on our current projection. Yeah, and so right now we're keeping our head down to execute on our operational milestones. We wait for the market to be better for EV.

Awesome. Thanks again for the caller. Interesting stuff. I'll pass it on.

Thank you.

Thank you for the question. Our next question comes from the line of James McCurry from Chardon Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

Yes, thank you. Can you help me understand the percent of sales in Q4 you think are reasonable to come from outside of Vietnam? That is, in the first three quarters, it's been 90% to 95% of the vehicle sales in Vietnam. And the question is, is that likely to continue in Q4, or is there a larger contribution from non-Vietnamese locations in Q4?

Hi, Jane. Good to hear from you. I think in Q4 you will see a little bit more from outside of Vietnam, proportionately a little bit more from outside of Vietnam than in the first three quarters. The ramp up will be mostly come from India, a little bit from Indonesia, and some smaller from U.S., Europe as well. It takes time for our overseas market to wrap up, so it takes a few more months for manufacturing, for the whole organization to operate, to function seamlessly, but it's coming. You're going to see bigger portions next year coming from overseas markets.

Okay, thank you. Appreciate that. And secondly, It was mentioned that there would be an increased R&D in order to support the new platform. I was hoping you could help me understand how much that increase might be. Are we talking a 5% increase over current levels, a 20% increase over current levels? I'm just trying to get a feel for how big that increase might be.

So I think Lanang will give you a little bit more specific, but I think this year we target to spend about 1.6 billion in R&D and we have spent about 1.1 billion in the first three quarters. Over 35% is capitalized R&D for the new model and put up like uplift refreshes. And over 65% is to build the CKD facilities across Asia, in ,, in Vietnam, India, and Indonesia. And I think for the new platform, most of it has been spent so far. Because we already launched the new platform on the Limo Green, and we started rolling out onto other models in 2026. So most of the spending is already there. Alanna, you want to go further into details?

Yeah. So for the R&D for the new platform that we focus in 2025 through 2026, and the spend for R&D expected to rise from 2027. And actually, for the flexible payment timing, we can manage the pace of spending to ensure about the

target to launch the new platform, also improve for the cost of my vision. Thank you. Yeah, talking about bomb cost optimization, that's actually a very good point, because some of the vehicles, right, the bomb cost can be reduced by like 50%. So, so really, I mean, the investment is worthwhile.

Okay, and one more, if I might. When we think about the new platform in 2026, can you give us an idea about how many of the units might come from the new platform?

How many units per year?

How many units? Which vehicle? As a percent of sales for 2026, how many units? What percent of sales will come from the new platform?

Pretty much Asia will all come from the new platform, pretty much. I think probably around 80% will come from the new platform, 70-80%, and then the rest will come from the old platform. But at the beginning of the year, they all roll out, but gradually in the new year. So at the beginning of the year, There will still be legacy platforms, and then we start going out one by one. Maybe a little bit positive for the 50-50 or something.

Okay. Understood. Thank you. Thank you very much.

Thanks, James. There are currently no more questions from the phone line. Please continue.

Thank you. We have the first question from the webcast audience. As more dealerships close in the U.S., what are VinFast's plans for long-term support?

Madam, would you like to take the question? Realistically, we're waiting for the new platform to roll out in North America and Europe to get us to profitability. So we're not going to, given in the US, given the tariff situation and the instability in the EV market, We just need to see how that settles before we kind of push hard in the U.S. So there will only be like this year and maybe next year as well. There will only be a certain number of vehicles that we can share across the dealership. So we, of course, we would like our dealerships, the dealerships are committed to us to be profitable and have enough vehicles to get to profitability quickly. So I think until we see some growth and stability in the U.S. market, we don't intend to open more dealerships. Instead, we cultivate the relationship with the existing dealers and make sure that they can get to profitability faster.

Thank you, ma'am, Thuy.

We have the next question from the webcast. Why did loss per car increase Q over Q in Q3 despite surge in volume? What should we expect for loss per car in October and Q4? Ms. Langan, would you like to take the question?

Yeah. For the higher loss for this quarter, that's primarily due to the certain orders that we already delivered

our vehicles but yet recognized as a revenue even though the related goods like our vehicle transfer out of stock that's because for the revenue recognition in line with the accounting standards so we yet recognize as a revenue so the revenue is expected to be recognized for the subsequent period So, on an adjusted basis, excluding disorders, the results show a slight improvement compared to the previous quarter. Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Leung. We have the next question from the webcast. Please provide 2026 guidance for four-wheeler and two-wheeler delivery volume and EBITDA expectations.

So we plan to release our 2026 guidance only next year.

And we expect that we maintain a strong road trajectory in 2026 because we prioritize volume expansion to reach the economies of skills. Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Le Han. We have the next question from the webcast. Do you plan to introduce a hybrid model And when will it be launched? Ms. Anne, would you like to take the question? Thank you, Nghi.

Well, as an innovation-driven company, our R&D team continuously explores advanced technologies, including powertrain solutions, to enhance product performance and deliver superior customer experience. So today, our core team strategy remains focused on fully EVs. The decision to launch a new product undergoes rigorous testing and commercial validation and will only do so once these standards have been fully met. At the moment, we're not working on any hybrid in the R&D plan.

Thank you, Ms. Anne. We have the next question from the webcast.

You mentioned a solid order backlog going into Q4. Which models are seeing the strongest demand within that backlog, and are you on track for 2025 targets? Madam Trieu, shall I take the question?

So as of mid-October, we are seeing a very strong order backlog from the green series, particularly the limo green. the new MPV 7-seater, and the Minio Green, which together make up about 50% of our total backlog. So we can't deliver enough vehicles to meet our backlog. In October, deliveries in Vietnam surpassed 20,000 units, making VinPass the first brand in the country to sell more than 20,000 cars in a single month. And in Vietnam alone, We have cumulatively delivered over 120,000 EVs. We remain positive about our 2025 guidance. And I think we are going to have – we're reaching 30,000 vehicles delivered per month

Thank you, Madam Thuy.

We have the next question from the webcast. Regarding the cooperation agreement with Saigon Glory, what is the rationale for entering into a real estate development when cash flow should be focused on vehicle production? Are there any near-term plans to enter other real estate projects or partner with Vinhomes? Madam Thuy, would you like to? Yes, I can take it.

Well, our core priority remains EV innovation and driving costs down, and the technology refresh program is fully funded with the cash that Madame Thuy has mentioned earlier, and the liquidity that we've secured for the next few years. The investment cooperation that VinFast recently entered into is a five-year passive investment under which VinFast may contribute up to around $800 million in BND equivalent. while our partner provides development rights and expertise. The investment assures full capital recovery of the investment amount of around up to $800 million at maturity, generating a committed pre-tax profit of approximately above $830 million, subject to the full amount of committed investment being invested. The capital contribution is supported by unused funds or spare liquidity to the extent that it has not been used. And disbursement of capital is expected to be in line with the implementation progress of the invested project without materially affecting operating cash flow or global EV manufacturing and expansion plans of impact.

Thank you, Ms. Han. We have the next question from the webcast.

Will ASB need to be much lower compared to Q3 in order to achieve 2025 volume guidance? Ms. Yang Han, would you like to take the question?

So far in 2025, our ASB has been weighted towards our more affordable models.

So for the full year, we expect that the VF3, VF5 to make up just under the 50% of total deliveries. So for the rest of the year and now looking ahead to 2026, our current sales plan points to more like a balanced mix with VF3, VF5 on one side and the green series along with the VF6, VF7 on the other.

especially as we begin ramping deliveries for India. So for ASB, we are assuming it remains roughly flat in the coming periods. The higher ASB from the 6th to 7th is expected to be offset by the slightly lower ASB from the green series.

Thank you, Ms. Langan. We have the next question from the webcast. Could you give us an update on the production ramp up at Hatting plant? Sure, thanks Mi.

The Hatting factory is ramping up very well. It is currently producing 15 jobs per hour compared to the maximum of 35 jobs per hour. We've shifted production of our smaller models from Haiphong to Hatting as well. and the plant has already produced several thousand BF3 units in the third quarter as part of its ramp-up. Looking ahead, Haping will be the main production site for the Minio Green, BF3, and the EasyVan.

Thank you, Ms. Ng. We have the next question from the webcast.

As you look into 2026, Which markets or product lines will be the biggest growth drivers?

In 2026, we expect more contributions as the green series scale more and the new VF6 and VF7 platforms will come online. These products are designed to be more competitive both from the cost as well as market perspective. So that contribution should build steadily as we move through 2026 and into 2027. Across our international footprint, we anticipate more meaningful volumes coming from India, Indonesia, and the Philippines as we expand the lineup in each of the markets. Vietnam will remain our anchor market in the near term. For the next year, we expect Vietnam to account for roughly 70% to 80% of total deliveries with the balance coming from international markets as they continue to scale up.

Thank you, Madam Thuy.

We have the next question from the webcast. How is battery cost tracking in the past few quarters? How is it expected to trend in the upcoming quarters?

I think you mean battery costs have continued to decline quarter over quarter, extending the downward trajectory established in 2024. On the average, we have seen battery prices come down by approximately 10% or 12% year-over-year across various models. We are transitioning to a new more cost-efficient battery generation underpinned by our suppliers of technology advancement that meaningfully lower unit cost. And also we expect further cost optimization going forward, driven by continued improvements in battery technology and manufacturing efficiency.

Thank you, Ms. Lam. We have the next question from the webcast. Further sharing regarding the new lines of vehicle, you mentioned three brands. Can you share the philosophy around that and what is the percentage for each line brand to contribute?

Thank you. I think, first of all, it is still a little bit early for us to break out the expected financial contribution from each brand. The primary objective behind establishing the three brands is really to sharpen our customer segmentation, ensuring that each brand has a clearly defined audience and purpose. With a portfolio that spans more than a dozen models, creating intuitive brand spaces help our customers immediately understand what each line represents and which use case the brand serves. Strong brand segmentation also allows us to fine-tune pricing strategies, tailor our marketing messages, and run more targeted campaigns for each customer group. It helps us to optimize our product roadmap and go-to-market approach by reducing overlap and minimizing cannibalization between brands. Over time, as the brand architecture matures and our market scales, we'll also have better visibility to commence on individual brand contributions towards our top line and bottom line.

Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Anne.

We have the next question from the webcast. How is VinFast and Big Green planning to accelerate the rollout of its battery swap network for e-scooters?

Okay, so VGreen plans to leverage the strategic partnership to accelerate the rollout of battery shopping for e-scooters in Vietnam. So VGreen is working with really large retail organizations in Vietnam, like FPT Retail, a lifestyle electronic retail network with retail codes to allow us to put the battery shopping stations at the shop locations, co-locate shopping station with the postal and distribution hubs for Viettel Post. So this not only give us access to large high traffic sites, but also create synergy with existing delivery and shipping fleet. To scale even faster, it could explore a franchise or revenue sharing model like we did with with the EV charging station. And we expect that the corporation, as well as the rollout of the battery stopping location, to increase very quickly, especially now that in major cities in Vietnam, like in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, from mid-2026, that the two wheelers, internal combustion engine two wheelers are no longer allowed in central locations.

Yeah, thank you, Ma'am Thuy. And on that topic, we also have another question from the webcast. Your two wheeler business has delivered exceptional volume growth this year. And we've seen at least one major legacy competitor publicly acknowledge the impact that recent government policies have had on their sales VinFast appears to be one of the clearest beneficiaries of this policy to shift towards encouraging electric two-wheelers. With these tailings in place, how are you thinking about the outlook for two-wheeler business in 2026?

I think in 2026, the two-wheeler business for VinFast grow at an accelerated level, demonstrated of the ongoing electrification and policy in Vietnam. While we have not provided the guidance for our two-year-old business, yes, Bintan has been continuously increasing our production in response to the market opportunity and remains optimistic about our look for this market segment. This year is the first time we have seen two-wheeler volumes outpace four-wheelers in our business, and this segment contribution to overall revenue is still under 10%. So next year is going to be a big year for two-wheeler in Vietnam, and two-wheeler will also start. So we target like 1.5 million two-wheeler deliveries in 2026. In Vietnam alone about 50% of the total new stuff in Vietnam. So that's that is our target and we would start Rolling out in I think earlier in the year in Indonesia in the Philippines and later in the year in India and Maybe other markets as well.

So it's going to be next year to be a good year for us Thank you Thank you, and we have the next question from the webcast and How do you view WinPass international markets in terms of near-term profitability versus long-term ecosystem development?

Thank you. Well, first of all, WinPass does not disclose profitability on a market-by-market basis. As with most global OEMs, the development of our ecosystem in new international markets will take time to reach scale and mature, as what Madam Thuy has explained a little bit earlier on this call. It's important to underscore that we manage profitability at the enterprise level, reflecting the full portfolio of product, region, and ecosystem services, rather than evaluating performance by individual model or individual geography.

Thank you, Ms. Anne.

We have the next question from the webcast. Can you provide a little bit of update on the North Carolina facilities?

There's still no change to our plan to have our North Carolina facility SOP by 2028, and we will provide more updates on the assumption of construction in 2026.

Thank you, Madam Thuy.

We have the next question from the webcast. Can you please break down the liquidity runway that the company has continued to implement its strategy over the next 12 months? Langan, would you like to take the question?
