– The Engineering & Construction Group experienced a year-on-year decline in revenue and operating profit due to the completion of major projects in Korea and overseas. However, performance remained solid, supported by a profitability-focused portfolio. The Trading & Investment Group posted a year-on-year increase in revenue, driven by expanded trading sales of steel and other commodities.
– The Fashion Group saw a year-on-year decline in performance due to weakened consumer sentiment and weather-related factors.

Despite these challenges, operating profit remained stable, and the company achieved a record-high pre-tax profit of KRW 1.204 trillion, driven by a diversified income structure including dividends.
