Aton Reports Operating Profit of 1.5 Billion KRW in Q1, Up 121% Year-on-Year

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Fintech security company Aton announced on the 16th that it recorded consolidated sales of 9.3 billion KRW and operating profit of 1.5 billion KRW in the first quarter. Compared to the same period last year, sales and operating profit increased by 8% and 121%, respectively.

Aton expects to continue its performance improvement trend as its security and authentication achievements in the financial sector, which has high operating profit margins such as mobile OTP and MyData business, stand out. With the acceleration of non-face-to-face services in the financial sector and the Yoon Seok-yeol administration setting the spread of mobile OTP as a national agenda to create a convenient financial environment, it is expected to benefit. Aton judged that performance growth would be possible through its mobile OTP.

Aton CEO Kim Jong-seo said, "We will expand innovative services centered on the domestic financial sector through top-level security and authentication technology," and added, "Following last year, Aton's growth DNA will continue this year as well."

Last year, Aton recorded its highest-ever annual performance due to increased demand for security and authentication solutions amid the trend of non-face-to-face services and digital transformation centered on the financial sector.
