1. Q2 2025 Performance: What Happened?

Hyundai Corporation Holdings reported revenue of KRW 61.1 billion, operating profit of KRW 5.4 billion, and net income of KRW 7.2 billion in Q2 2025. While revenue increased year-over-year, both operating and net income declined.

2. Why These Results? – Segment Breakdown

  • Brand Business: Continued its strong performance, growing 34.5% year-over-year and driving overall revenue.
  • New Businesses: A significant decline in the livestock wholesale business (47.2%↓) and the underperformance of the mushroom business negatively impacted profitability. The packaging materials business performed relatively well.
  • Other Businesses: Continued to experience declining revenue and operating losses, requiring urgent attention.

3. Market Environment and Outlook

External factors such as a rising KRW/USD exchange rate, potential interest rate fluctuations, and oil price volatility could impact Hyundai Corporation Holdings’ future performance. While brand business growth is expected to continue, the ongoing struggles of the new businesses pose a significant risk.

4. Action Plan for Investors

Investors should consider the following:

  • Closely monitor the turnaround strategy for the new businesses and its effectiveness.
  • Assess the company’s risk management strategy regarding exchange rate and interest rate volatility.
  • Evaluate the sustainability of the brand business’s growth trajectory.
