Second-quarter revenue rises 20.8 percent

For Q2 2026, revenue reached KRW 162.8 billion, up 20.8 percent from the prior-year quarter, while operating profit was KRW 37.1 billion and net income was KRW 33.0 billion, ATS View reports from the company's filing data. The operating margin was 22.8 percent.

The sequential comparison is also notable: Q1 2026 revenue was KRW 141.3 billion and operating profit was KRW 19.5 billion, so second-quarter operating profit nearly doubled from the preceding quarter. The figures point to stronger earnings conversion alongside the revenue increase, rather than growth driven only by sales volume.
