DL disclosed its preliminary consolidated financial results for the second quarter of 2026 on the 3rd. Revenue for the quarter stood at KRW 1.6679 trillion, with operating income recorded at KRW 256.5 billion.

According to the disclosure, Q2 revenue increased by 26.19% year-on-year (from KRW 1.3217 trillion) and by 30.02% compared to the previous quarter (KRW 1.2828 trillion). In particular, operating income surged by 256.11% year-on-year to KRW 256.5 billion (compared to KRW 72 billion in the same period last year) and rose by 127.28% compared to the previous quarter (KRW 112.9 billion).

Profitability improvements were also notable. Profit from continuing operations before income tax expense amounted to KRW 185.7 billion, swinging to a profit from a loss of KRW 45.8 billion in the same period last year and surging by 2,136.91% compared to the previous quarter (KRW 8.3 billion). Net income for the period also returned to profit at KRW 152.7 billion, overcoming a loss of KRW 84.3 billion in the same period last year, and increased by 1,158.32% compared to the previous quarter (KRW 12.1 billion).

Net income attributable to owners of the parent company was KRW 125.2 billion. This represents a turnaround from a loss of KRW 73.2 billion in the same period last year and an increase of 1,634.72% compared to the previous quarter (KRW 7.2 billion).

Cumulative results for the first half of this year (January–June) also showed a strong performance. Revenue reached KRW 2.9506 trillion and operating income achieved KRW 369.4 billion, representing year-on-year increases of 8.95% and 108.23%, respectively. Cumulative first-half figures for profit from continuing operations before income tax expense (KRW 194 billion), net income for the period (KRW 164.9 billion), and net income attributable to owners of the parent company (KRW 132.4 billion) all successfully returned to profitability year-on-year.

Meanwhile, DL stated that these results are preliminary figures based on consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (K-IFRS). As the data is based on internal closing results that have not yet been audited by an external auditor, the company noted that some figures may be subject to change depending on the final audit results.
