[Conference Call] Kia: "Raw Material Price Increases Have Greater Impact Than DRAM Prices"

During the earnings conference call for the fourth quarter of last year on January 28, Kia stated, "The semiconductors used in automobiles are not closely related to general DRAM, so the cost burden from price increases is minimal." The company added, "In fact, increases in raw material prices such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium have a greater impact."
