SNT Group's sales last year surpassed 2 trillion won for the first time since its founding, and operating profit also rose more than 30%. Balanced growth across its auto parts, defense, and energy affiliates drove the gains. SNT Group plans to expand orders in each business this year to sustain stable growth.
SNT Holdings said last year's sales on a consolidation basis came to 2.2357 trillion won, up 22.8% from a year earlier. It was the first time since SNT Holdings was launched that sales topped 2 trillion won. Operating profit also hit a record high of 300.7 billion won, up 30.1% from a year ago.
Major affiliates grew across the board. SNT Motiv posted sales of 1.0064 trillion won and operating profit of 102.6 billion won, up 3.9% and 4.5%, respectively, from a year earlier. SNT Motiv said, "Even with the slowdown in growth of the auto parts industry, we are maintaining stable results by strengthening specialized businesses such as the motor sector."
SNT Dynamics' sales came to 712 billion won, up 15.9% from a year earlier. Operating profit was 85.5 billion won. Compared with operating profit of 68 billion won excluding a one-off provision reversal (42.5 billion won) in 2024, it rose 25.6%. SNT Dynamics said, "The defense sector is expected to continue expanding," adding, "Sales of the domestically produced transmission for the K2 tank will start this year and will be fully reflected in results from next year."
SNT Energy posted sales of 606.1 billion won and operating profit of 111.3 billion won, surging 106% and 400.5%, respectively, from a year earlier. The operating margin, a key profitability metric, reached 18.4%. SNT Energy said, "Amid a global boom in the energy sector, we were able to achieve this profit by strategically winning projects with a high contribution to the company." SNT Energy plans to expand orders for air coolers, where it holds the No. 1 global market share, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) combined-cycle power plant heat recovery steam generators (HRSG).
SNT Group will pay year-end dividends based on approval at the 2025 regular shareholders meeting. The payout is 750 won per share for SNT Holdings; 400 won per share each for SNT Motiv, SNT Dynamics, and SNT Energy. Including interim dividends in 2025, total dividends (dividend yield based on the 2025 year-end closing price) are SNT Holdings 3,000 won (5.54%), SNT Motiv 1,700 won (4.93%), SNT Dynamics 1,800 won (3.86%), and SNT Energy 1,150 won (3.14%).
