Sung An Materials Significantly Reduces Operating Losses... Accelerates Profitability Improvement and Expansion into New Businesses

On March 19, Sung An Materials announced through a regulatory filing that its consolidated sales for the previous year reached 24.69301 billion won, marking a 3.11% decrease compared to the previous year. However, gross profit rose by 75.6% to 2.62162 billion won. While the company continued to record operating and net losses, the scale of these losses was significantly reduced, improving by 76.7% and 76.3%, respectively, year-on-year.

This performance is interpreted as a result of cost reduction and expense efficiency strategies. Improvements in the structure of selling and administrative expenses—such as a reduction of approximately 1.4 billion won in commission expenses and about 1.4 billion won in export-related costs—contributed to a decrease in operating losses. In addition, a decline of around 20.4 billion won in derivative valuation losses and a reduction of about 4.4 billion won in interest expenses also had a positive effect on reducing net losses.

Sung An Materials secured a stable sales base by acquiring Jin An Crown Ink and incorporating it as a consolidated subsidiary. Based on this, the company plans to accelerate performance improvement this year.

A company representative stated, "We are reorganizing our business portfolio to respond to changes in the industrial environment, such as diversification of global fabric demand and growing interest in eco-friendly materials," adding, "We will continue to establish a foundation for sustainable growth by strengthening competitiveness centered on high value-added materials and expanding into new businesses."
