The company's earnings-per-share also rose by 12% to 2,224 VND.

FPT's combined revenue rose by 27% over last year to 19.32 trillion VND (907 million USD), 108% of this year's plan.

The company said that the growth of sales in the company's technology sector and distribution-retail sector was the major factor that helped FPT achieve such high profits and revenue.

FPT's growing overseas branches is a key factor in its growth. Its overseas business increased 44% to 98 million USD in revenue in the first half of this year.
