Following Samsung Electronics, performance bonuses are being set for other electronics affiliates.
Samsung Display announced internally on the 28th that it has set the over-profit incentive (OPI) payout rate, common to all business divisions, at 36% of annual salary. The payout date is the 30th. A year earlier, Samsung Display's OPI had been set at 40% of annual salary. Samsung Display's operating profit last year is estimated at about 4 trillion won.
Samsung SDI set the OPI payout rate for all business divisions at 0%. It is expected to post a large operating loss due to the electric vehicle "chasm" (a temporary demand slowdown). Samsung Electro-Mechanics also plans to finalize and announce its OPI payout rate today. The previously notified expected OPI payout rate is 5–7%.
OPI is a system under which, when a division's performance exceeds the target set at the start of the year, up to 50% of an individual's annual salary is paid once a year within a cap of 20% of the excess profit. Samsung pays performance bonuses through OPI and the target achievement incentive (TAI).
Samsung Electronics finalized the OPI payout rate and notified employees on the 16th. In the Device Solutions (DS) division, which handles semiconductors, most units including memory, system LSI, and foundry were set at 47% of annual salary. In the Device eXperience (DX) division, the Mobile eXperience (MX) unit, which recorded strong sales of the Galaxy S25 and Z7 series last year, was set at 50%. The OPI payout rate for the Visual Display (VD) unit, which handles TVs, as well as the Digital Appliances (DA), network, and medical device units, was set at 12%.
