■ Solid First-Half Cumulative Performance The upward trend continued on a cumulative basis for January through June.

These figures represent increases of 14.0% and 36.4%, respectively, compared to the same period last year.

During the same period, profit before income tax from continuing operations stood at 454.5 billion won (up 11.4%), net income at 345.8 billion won (up 15.7%), and net income attributable to owners of the parent at 336.9 billion won (up 15.7%).

■ Key Future Variables and Caveats The market views the earnings growth trajectory, along with future large-scale plant orders and the progress of overseas projects, as the key variables that will determine whether the stock can extend its gains.

However, the earnings announced today are provisional figures based on Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (K-IFRS) consolidated financial statements, and may differ somewhat from finalized earnings depending on the results of the external auditor's audit.
