LX International said in a filing on the 30th that last year's operating profit on a consolidation basis was tentatively tallied at 292.2 billion won, down 40.3% from a year earlier.
During the same period, revenue rose 0.4% to 16.7063 trillion won, while net profit fell 41.3% to 158.3 billion won, according to a tentative tally.
LX International said revenue increased on higher production at key asset such as the AKP nickel mine in Indonesia and expanded trading volumes, but operating profit declined as resource and logistics market conditions worsened.
Specifically, it said the price of Australian coal (NEWC) fell from an average of $135 per metric ton in 2024 to $106 in 2025, and the price of Indonesian coal (ICI4) fell from an average of $54 to $46 over the same period.
An LX International official said, "This year, as major resource-producing countries such as China and Indonesia continue to manage supply, the overall resource market will show a more stable trend than last year."
LX International also announced a cash dividend of 2,000 won per common share that day. The aggregate dividends amount is 71.9 billion won, and the record date is the 27th of next month.
