SAMSUNG E&A, a total solutions provider for the global energy industry, announced today through the provisional financial results disclosure, a revenue of KRW 9.0288 trillion, operating profit of KRW 792.1 billion, and net profit of KRW 648.3 billion for 2025 (on a consolidated basis and by the K-IFRS). Compared to the previous year, revenue and operating profit decreased by 9.4% and 18.5%, respectively, while net profit increased by 1.5%.
For Q4, revenue reached KRW 2.7572 trillion, operating profit reached KRW 277.4 billion, and net profit reached KRW 192 billion. Revenue and net profit increased by 6.9% and 72.9%, respectively, while operating profit decreased by 6.2%.
SAMSUNG E&A maintained a stable performance in the fourth quarter, driven by the full-scale reflection of revenues from large-scale hydrocarbon plants and domestic industrial and environmental plants. Furthermore, the company secured cost competitiveness through performance differentiation based on innovative technologies such as AI, DT, and modules, thereby exceeding its annual operating profit target.
Driven by robust performance, the company has decided to continue its dividend payment this year, following its payment last year. With additional available funds generated by exceeding its 2025 operating profit guidance, the company will pay a cash dividend of KRW 790 per common share, representing an approximately 20% increase from the previous year's KRW 660. This will result in a total dividend of approximately KRW 154.8 billion, with a payout ratio of roughly 25%.
New annual contract orders and order backlog reached KRW 6.4 trillion and KRW 17.8 trillion, respectively. Significant performance in new future energy business areas, including methanol, low-carbon ammonia, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), LNG, and eco-friendly plastic plants, was achieved. Furthermore, the company laid the foundation for mid- to long-term commercialization through continued technology investments and strategic collaborations with global companies.
Reflecting these achievements, its mid- to long-term strategy, and the global energy transition, SAMSUNG E&A has reorganized its business portfolio from △Hydrocarbon and △Non-Hydrocarbon to △Hydrocarbon, △Advanced Tech, and △New Energy. The company announced its 2023 vision and mid- to long-term core strategies, and the following year, it changed its name to reflect its new identity and future values. Through this portfolio change, the company is continuing to drive transformation toward the future.
In particular, in the New Energy sector, the company has laid the groundwork for future growth through investments in LNG, clean energy, and ECO (water business), and collaborations with leading global companies. Last year, the company achieved 54% of total orders, demonstrating its global competitiveness through tangible order achievements and reaching new business diversification. The company anticipates continued growth beyond 2026 through securing numerous projects and investments, and anticipates that the New Energy sector will become a key growth driver.
A spokesperson from SAMSUNG E&A stated, "We plan to maintain stable performance by differentiating our performance competitiveness based on innovative technologies. We also plan to expand our performance in the New Energy sector to lay the foundation for mid- to long-term sustainable growth."
Meanwhile, the company released its business outlook on the same day, announcing its performance forecast for this year: KRW 12 trillion in new orders, KRW 10 trillion in revenue, and KRW 800 billion in operating profit.
