Hyundai Glovis Achieves Record-High Sales and Operating Profit in Q2

Record Sales of KRW 7.516 Trillion and Operating Profit of KRW 538.9 Billion

Hyundai Glovis achieved record-high quarterly sales and operating profit in the second quarter. Despite ongoing uncertainties since the beginning of the year, the company posted solid results by performing well across all business sectors.

On July 24, Hyundai Glovis announced that its sales in the first half of the year reached KRW 14.7394 trillion, with an operating profit of KRW 1.0408 trillion. Compared to the same period last year, these figures increased by 7.6% and 30.1%, respectively.

For the second quarter, sales amounted to KRW 7.516 trillion, and operating profit was KRW 538.9 billion. These numbers represent year-on-year increases of 6.4% and 22.7%, respectively.

Net profit for the period rose by 60.5% year-on-year to KRW 502.6 billion, and the operating profit margin stood at 7.2%.

In the shipping sector, efforts to improve cost structure through fleet operation optimization and to expand non-affiliated business contributed significantly to the results.

A Hyundai Glovis official explained, "Although the second quarter continued to present a challenging business environment due to changes in major countries' trade policies and heightened geopolitical risks, we achieved solid results by providing stable logistics services to existing clients while strategically focusing on expanding non-affiliated business."

In the logistics sector, increased overseas inland transportation sales led to sales of KRW 2.5889 trillion and operating profit of KRW 203.3 billion. In shipping, the rise in non-affiliated clients resulted in sales of KRW 1.3602 trillion and operating profit of KRW 200.2 billion.

In the distribution business, expanded parts volume drove sales of KRW 3.5669 trillion and operating profit of KRW 135.4 billion.

Hyundai Glovis expects uncertainty in the business environment to persist in the second half of the year due to the deterioration of the global trade environment and slowing economic growth. Nevertheless, the company plans to focus its capabilities on achieving continued growth.

A company official stated, "We will strive to strengthen cost competitiveness and maintain a profitability-oriented growth strategy by improving asset efficiency to overcome uncertainties. Going forward, we plan to implement strategies that go beyond short-term market responses to secure a foundation for sustainable growth and focus on enhancing corporate value over the long term."
