In the fourth quarter of last year, through intensive cost inspections and reflecting expenses, both operating profit and net profit turned to a profit compared to the previous quarter.

New orders amounted to 3.302 trillion KRW, a 57.3% increase compared to the same period last year. In the first quarter, the Architecture and Housing Division secured orders for projects such as the Songdo International Complex Phase 2 Development Project (496 billion KRW) and the Songpa Garak Plaza Reconstruction Project (473 billion KRW).

The Plant Division won a contract worth 1.22 billion USD (approximately 1.6 trillion KRW) last month for the 'Fadhili Gas Expansion Program Package 2' sour water treatment facility construction, ordered by Aramco.

A GS Construction official said, "In a situation where uncertain external conditions continue, GS Construction is actively securing future growth engines not only domestically but also overseas. We will strengthen our foundation and internal capabilities to firmly establish the basis for a new leap forward and focus on establishing the framework of our business from a mid- to long-term perspective."
