Woori Investment & Securities said on the 6th that last year's net profit came to 27.4 billion won, up 1,250% from a year earlier.
During the same period, operating revenue rose 18.3% to 187.1 billion won, and operating profit turned to a surplus at 10.9 billion won.
In the case of interest income, it was tallied at 120.1 billion won, up 12.7% from a year earlier, and non-interest income rose 29.8% to 67.0 billion won.
Within operating revenue, the share of non-interest income showed a steady rise at 31% in 2023, 33% in 2024, and 36% in 2025. In particular, the company emphasized that as the mix of loans and marketable securities shifts from 8-to-2 in 2023 to 5-to-5 in 2025, it is transitioning into a securities firm centered on investment banking (IB).
Selling and administrative expenses came to 145.0 billion won, up 95.5% from a year earlier, due to business base investments such as the launch and upgrade of the mobile trading system (MTS), adoption of a next-generation IT system, and expansion of outstanding securities professionals.
Credit-loss costs were 31.2 billion won, down 65.9% from a year earlier, affected by portfolio rebalancing toward higher-quality assets.
A Woori Investment & Securities official said, "In March last year, with approval for the investment trading business and the launch of the MTS, full-fledged IB and securities retail operations began," and added, "This year, Woori Investment & Securities will play a central role in venture capital investment in productive finance under Woori Financial Group's 'Future Co-Growth Project.'"
