[Asia Economy Reporter Seolgina Jo] KT announced on the 6th that it recorded sales of 24.342 trillion KRW and an operating profit of 1.151 trillion KRW in 2019 (consolidated basis), the first year of 5G commercialization.



Sales increased by 3.8% compared to the previous year due to growth in wired and wireless communication businesses including 5G and media business, but operating profit decreased by 8.8%. This is interpreted as a result of increased costs such as 5G network investment and marketing.
