1. What Happened? Woojin’s IR Session Breakdown

Woojin participated in the Daishin Securities ‘New Growth Industry Conference’ on September 26th, holding an IR session for institutional investors. The session covered a review of the first half 2025 earnings, an overview of key business areas, and a Q&A.

2. Why Does it Matter? The Dilemma of Profitability and Declining Sales

While Woojin achieved a return to profitability with net income of KRW 954 million in H1 2025, sales decreased by 17.5% year-on-year to KRW 62.083 billion. All business segments, including nuclear power, plants, and temperature sensors and measuring instruments, experienced a decline in sales. The global economic downturn and the sluggish performance of major clients are considered the primary causes.

3. What’s Woojin’s Future? Fundamental Analysis and Growth Potential

  • Strengths: Growth potential in smart factory solutions and nuclear power business, cost management and financial soundness, shareholder return policy.
  • Weaknesses: Potential for continued sales decline, foreign exchange volatility, inventory turnover rate, intensifying competition.

While new growth drivers such as smart factory and nuclear power businesses offer promise, global economic uncertainty and foreign exchange volatility pose ongoing risks.

4. What Should Investors Do? Investment Strategy Recommendations

Careful monitoring of IR outcomes, future earnings trends, and changes in macroeconomic variables is crucial. Investors should pay particular attention to the performance of new business segments and the order pipeline for the nuclear power business. A ‘wait-and-see’ or ‘positive long-term outlook’ is currently maintained.
