For the first half of the year, cumulative revenue was 245.5 billion KRW, operating profit was 25 billion KRW, and net profit was 23.4 billion KRW. Notably, operating profit increased by 23.5% year-on-year, surpassing the previous record high of 22.5 billion KRW set in the first half of 2022.

The company explained that, despite the global economic slowdown, diversifying its sales markets into non-automotive sectors such as electronics and electrical devices contributed to maintaining a stable profit structure. Although there were temporary cost burdens due to regular maintenance at the Gimcheon plant, the company believes these were offset by expanding the sales share of high-value specialty product lines and improving cost efficiency.

A Kolon ENP representative stated, "External uncertainties such as economic slowdown and trade friction are expected to persist in the second half of the year," adding, "We will strengthen our competitiveness in high-value businesses centered on eco-friendly specialty products to respond flexibly."
