KCC announced on the 5th that it recorded revenue of 1.806 trillion won on a consolidated basis in its preliminary Q2 2026 results. While operating profit declined compared to the same period last year, net profit increased significantly.

[Key Q2 and First-Half Results] KCC's Q2 revenue stood at 1,806.019 billion won, up 7.2% year-over-year and 12.2% quarter-over-quarter. Meanwhile, operating profit was 128.884 billion won, down 13.1% year-over-year but rebounding 37.6% compared to the previous quarter. On a cumulative basis for the first half (January–June), revenue reached 3,415.685 billion won, up 4.6% from the same period last year, while operating profit fell 13.8% to 222.531 billion won.

[Sharp Increase in Net Profit and Pre-Tax Profit] A standout feature of these results is the significant growth in profit from continuing operations before corporate tax and net profit. Q2 profit from continuing operations before corporate tax totaled 3,759.351 billion won, surging 194.8% year-over-year. During the same period, net profit reached 2,839.157 billion won, a 217.8% increase, with net profit attributable to owners of the parent company recording an identical figure.

[Basis of Calculation and Preparation] KCC explained that these results are preliminary consolidated figures prepared in accordance with the Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (K-IFRS). Regarding the detailed criteria, the company stated, "Revenue, operating profit, and profit from continuing operations before corporate tax are based on continuing operations, excluding discontinued operations," adding, "Net profit and net profit attributable to owners of the parent company reflect the operating results and related gains and losses of discontinued operations." It also noted that these are preliminary figures that have not yet been reviewed by an external auditor and may be subject to change during the review process.
