Tmap Mobility said on the 24th that on a full-year basis for 2025, both earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and net income swung to a profit. It is the first time the two indicators have been in the black at the same time.
Tmap Mobility posted EBITDA of 4.4 billion won and net income of 23.3 billion won last year. Based on reflecting discontinued operations loss, the figures rose by 29.9 billion won and 100.7 billion won, respectively, from a year earlier. The company said results improved as profitability gains and expense efficiencies aligned after it reshaped its business portfolio around data and artificial intelligence (AI).
In particular, revenue in the "mobility data and solutions" institutional sector grew 35.8% on-year, driving overall results. Revenue from TMAP Auto, which is embedded in finished vehicles, also rose more than 30% from a year earlier.
The data business also continued to grow. Usage-based insurance (UBI) for autos linked to driving habits saw revenue rise 29.4% as the number of policyholders for the driving score rider increased 7% from a year earlier. The API business likewise grew 19.3% as B2B data supply expanded across various industries.
Platform competitiveness was also strengthened. With expansion into non-navigation areas such as AI place recommendations and content-style search, monthly active users (MAU) last year hit a record high of 15.39 million. After the launch of the AI agent, AI service traffic increased from 2.44 million in the third quarter to 5.15 million in the fourth quarter.
Buoyed by these results, the operating margin improved by 11.4 percentage points and the net margin by 35.3 percentage points.
Lee Jae-hwan, CEO of Tmap Mobility, said, "The full-year swing to profit is the result of our data- and AI-centered strategy translating into performance," adding, "We will strengthen revenue models based on the mobility data business and AI services to build a stable profit structure."
