SEOUL, Feb. 9 (Yonhap) — HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (KSOE) Co., a subholding company of shipbuilding giant HD Hyundai Co., said Monday its fourth-quarter net profit rose nearly 40 percent from a year earlier on strong shipbuilding sales.<\/p>\n

Its net income totaled 993 billion won (US$677.2 million) on a consolidated basis for the October-December period, up 36.6 percent from 727.1 billion won a year earlier, according to the company in a regulatory filing.<\/p>\n

Operating profit more than doubled to 1.03 trillion won for the quarter from 499.1 billion won a year ago. Revenue rose 13.8 percent to 8.15 trillion won.<\/p>\n

HD KSOE said the robust quarterly earnings were driven by improved productivity and strong sales in its shipbuilding business.<\/p>\n

Its shipbuilding units — HD Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. and HD Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries Co. — earned a combined 6.74 trillion won in sales and 862.1 billion won in operating profit for the fourth quarter, up 8.4 percent and 79.3 percent on-year, respectively.<\/p>\n

For all of 2025, HD KSOE reported a annual net profit of 2.92 trillion won, up 101.3 percent from a year earlier.<\/p>\n

Its operating income surged 172.3 percent on-year to 3.9 trillion won and annual sales rose 17.2 percent to 29.93 trillion won.<\/p>\n
