SK Eco Plant announced on the 31st that its consolidated operating profit reached 234.7 billion won last year, a 49% increase compared to the previous year. Sales rose to 9.3176 trillion won, an 8.2% increase compared to the same period. The liability ratio decreased by 18 percentage points from 251% in the third quarter of last year to 233% at the end of last year.
Specifically, sales grew due to improved performance in the semiconductor and fuel cell businesses, along with the full-scale implementation of the Yongin semiconductor cluster project. Additionally, operating profit increased by about 50% compared to the previous year, reflecting the sales scale expansion and the performances of subsidiaries such as the industrial gas corporation SK Air Plus and the semiconductor module corporation Essencore. SK Eco Plant incorporated SK Air Plus and Essencore as subsidiaries at the end of last year.
A representative from SK Eco Plant noted, "We plan to focus on securing differentiated comprehensive semiconductor services, including semiconductor facility construction, semiconductor module manufacturing and distribution, gas supply, and memory recycling, in line with the SK Group's rebalancing strategy and the growth of advanced industries." He added, "We are accelerating the development of an AI data center business model while performing developer roles in addition to our existing engineering, procurement, and construction capabilities."
