1. HHI Mipo Q2 2025 Performance: What Happened?

HHI Mipo reported revenue of KRW 1.2345 trillion, operating profit of KRW 89.4 billion, and net income of KRW 22.3 billion for Q2 2025. While operating profit exceeded expectations, net income fell significantly short, painting a contrasting picture of the company’s performance.

2. The Net Income Drop: Unraveling the Causes

The sharp decline in net income is likely attributed to a combination of external factors, such as rising raw material prices, exchange rate fluctuations, and interest rate hikes, as well as internal factors, like the time lag between down payments from large orders (disclosed in the 2024 restated business report) and revenue recognition.

3. Large Order Backlog: A Long-Term Growth Driver?

The substantial order backlog disclosed in the 2024 restated business report is expected to serve as a long-term growth catalyst. However, it hasn’t translated into immediate improvements in net income.

4. Action Plan for Investors

Investors in or considering investing in HHI Mipo should closely monitor external factors, including raw material prices, exchange rates, and interest rates, as well as the company’s risk management strategies. Furthermore, keep an eye out for additional disclosures regarding the reasons for the decline in net income.
