Neotis Posts 36% Increase in Q1 Operating Profit... Microbit Business Continues Growth Momentum

Neotis, a company specializing in ultra-precision microbits, posted growth in both revenue and operating profit in the first quarter of this year. The strong performance of its main microbit business drove profitability improvements.

On May 18, Neotis announced that on a consolidated basis, it recorded revenue of 17.9 billion won and operating profit of 2.3 billion won in the first quarter. Compared to the same period last year, revenue increased by 3.4%, while operating profit grew by 36.4%.

The company explained that the expansion of order volumes from major clients and an increase in orders for high value-added products were the key factors in performance improvement. In particular, the higher proportion of revenue from the microbit segment had a positive impact on overall profitability.

From the second quarter onward, growth is expected to accelerate as sales from previously expanded production capacities are fully reflected. Neotis is continuing to expand its production capacity to meet rising client demand and plans to use recently raised funds from investment for new facility investments and the enhancement of its production infrastructure.

The automotive shaft business and subsidiary Kwangjin Precision are also expected to show a recovery trend from the second quarter. Although results in the first quarter were somewhat sluggish due to adjustments in order volumes from some clients and market conditions, the company expects that the recovery of orders and stabilization of production going forward will contribute to an improvement in overall performance.

A Neotis representative stated, "At present, the microbit division is focused on responding to client order volumes and is continuously expanding production capacity to meet rising demand. We expect that as the ongoing capacity expansion—which is being funded through recent investments—is sequentially reflected, the scale of performance improvement will become even greater."

Neotis is expected to continue its growth momentum this year, based on expanded microbit production capacity and recovery in its core business segments.
