Hanjin, Operating Profit Increased by 6.8% in the First Half... "Effect of Sound Management"

[Financial News] Hanjin succeeded in improving its performance based on sound management in the first half of 2025. Cost reduction in parcel delivery, increase in port cargo volume, and expansion of global forwarding volume drove the performance increase.
Hanjin announced on the 14th through a public disclosure that it recorded consolidated sales of 743.7 billion won and operating profit of 37 billion won in the 2nd and 4th quarters. Sales increased by 1.3% compared to the same period last year, and operating profit remained at a similar level.
The cumulative sales for the first half were 1.4728 trillion won, an increase of 1.8% over the same period. Operating profit increased by 6.8% to 64.3 billion won. This is explained as a result of focusing on profitability-centered sound management despite uncertain domestic and international environments.
In the core parcel delivery sector, cost reduction was achieved and profitability improved by promoting operational efficiency based on the Daejeon Mega Hub Terminal.
In the logistics sector, the increase in cargo volume at major ports such as Busan New Port led to an increase in sales. The global sector also saw an increase in sea and air forwarding volumes, driven by the expansion of e-commerce exports and imports and the acquisition of new shippers. In particular, the performance of major overseas subsidiaries in the Americas, Vietnam, and Japan improved.
A Hanjin official said, "We are maintaining stable growth despite domestic and international uncertainties and intensified market competition," and "We will continue to secure a long-term growth foundation by strengthening the competitiveness of core businesses and through a global expansion strategy."
