Polaris Office Reports 28% YoY Sales Growth to 154.2 Billion KRW in H1... "HandysSoft Synergy Expected in H2"

On August 18, Polaris Office announced that it recorded consolidated sales of 154.2 billion KRW and an operating profit of 5.6 billion KRW in the first half of this year. Sales increased by 28% compared to the same period last year, while operating profit decreased by 7% year-on-year.

This performance is attributed to a diversified business portfolio across its affiliates, which has supported stable results even amid fluctuations in specific industry cycles. In particular, the core software (SW) division continued to grow in both the B2C (consumer market) and B2B (corporate clients) sectors, posting an 11% increase year-on-year.

In the second half of the year, synergy with HandysSoft, a groupware specialist currently undergoing acquisition procedures, is expected to materialize in earnest. HandysSoft is a major player in the industry, with a customer base of over 1,300 organizations in the public, financial, and university sectors, and more than two million users. It has established a stable revenue structure based on a high contract renewal rate.

Especially through its business model specialized in business-to-government (B2G) transactions, the combination of Polaris Office's document editing and collaboration solutions is expected to further accelerate digital transformation (DX) and artificial intelligence transformation (AX) in the public sector.

In addition, the company is planning to accelerate its 'Vertical AI' strategy, which aims to connect industry expertise across its affiliates with AI technology over the long term. By leveraging groupware systems, Polaris Office intends to build industry-specific AI ecosystems and lead the B2B market.

A Polaris Office representative stated, "The stable revenue structure of our affiliates, including our core business, is the solid foundation for the group's growth," and added, "In the second half of the year, we will create clear growth momentum in the B2G sector by expanding into the AI and public markets and restructuring our business with HandysSoft."

Meanwhile, the Polaris Office Group, centered on Polaris Office, owns various affiliates such as Polaris Sewon, Polaris Uno, Polaris AI, and Polaris AI Pharma, and is actively pursuing its 'Vertical AI' strategy to integrate AI across industries.
