Doosan Bobcat Reports Q2 Operating Profit of 466.5 Billion KRW... Profit Margin Exceeds 17%

Increase in Volume Across All Product Lines
21% Growth in Sales Revenue
Quarterly Dividend of 800 Won

Doosan Bobcat announced on the 26th that it recorded sales of 2.6721 trillion KRW and an operating profit of 466.5 billion KRW in the second quarter of this year.

Thanks to an increase in volume across all product lines, sales and operating profit rose by 20.5% and 50.7% respectively compared to the previous year. The operating profit margin increased by 3.5 percentage points to reach 17.5%.

Doosan Bobcat explained, "The operating profit increase was remarkable due to a one-time gain of about 67 billion KRW from the adjustment effect of the U.S. subsidiary's retirement pension," but added, "Even excluding this amount, operating profit increased by 29% year-on-year, and the operating profit margin reached 14.9%."

Net profit doubled over the year to 308 billion KRW due to the increase in operating profit and other factors. At the end of the second quarter, net debt was 67 million USD (approximately 87.6 billion KRW), down 453 million USD (about 594.6 billion KRW) from the end of the previous year. The company steadily reduced its borrowings based on strong performance.

The cumulative performance for the first half of the year showed sales of 5.0772 trillion KRW and operating profit of 836.2 billion KRW, up 32% and 66% respectively compared to the previous year.

By product, in the second quarter, sales (in USD) increased by 9% for compact equipment, 30% for portable power, and 44% for industrial vehicles, continuing growth across all product lines. By region, sales increased evenly with North America up 15%, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) 15%, and ALAO (Asia, Latin America, and Oceania) 14%.

On the same day, Doosan Bobcat held a board meeting and resolved a quarterly dividend of 800 KRW per common share, which is more than 30% higher than the 600 KRW paid during the same period last year.
