DB Securities Posts 101 Billion Won Cumulative Operating Profit in Q3, Up 92.5% YoY

DB Securities (CEO Kwak Bongseok) announced through a disclosure on November 14 that its cumulative consolidated operating profit for the third quarter of this year reached 101 billion won, with net income at 82.9 billion won. This represents an increase of 92.5% and 85.3%, respectively, compared to the same period last year.

The company analyzed that all business divisions have delivered solid performance, centered on its PIB-linked business model. The overall results were driven by the expansion of market competitiveness in the investment banking division, continued robust profitability in the trading division, and the recovery of earnings at consolidated subsidiaries such as the savings bank and asset management.

In particular, consolidated client assets, which surpassed 100 trillion won in the first half of this year, continued to grow steadily in the third quarter, exceeding 107 trillion won and supporting stable profitability improvement.

A DB Securities official stated, "We will do our best to maintain stable performance and solid growth through the end of the year," adding, "Based on this year's results, we will also focus on increasing shareholder returns in line with our plans to enhance corporate value."
