ZIGBANG CO. expressed its ambition to turn profitable for the full year.
ZIGBANG CO. held its 2026 regular shareholders meeting and on the 27th announced its 2025 business results and 2026 business plan that includes these details.
ZIGBANG CO. reduced its EBITDA-based loss in 2025 by more than 95%, from 15 billion won the previous year to 600 million won. It cut monthly fixed operating costs by 24% over the past year and trimmed financing costs by about 30%. The company said the combination of these two pillars produced an annual expense improvement effect of about 10 billion won.
In addition, EBITDA turned positive starting in the first quarter of 2026. ZIGBANG CO. expects to complete a full-year turnaround into profit this year. The company also revamped its business model from a brokerage business to an advertising-centered model and carried out a "big bath," taking a one-off charge for losses at subsidiaries related to brokerage.
ZIGBANG CO. said that, after an intensive push to streamline companywide work processes throughout 2025, it reduced its cost of sales ratio by more than 13 percentage points, from 47% in 2024 to 34%. As a result, gross profit rose 18% from a year earlier.
In particular, presales advertising revenue, which was 1.2 billion won in 2024, jumped 970% to 11.6 billion won in 2025. In 2025, ads for unsold units accounted for about 90% of the total, and monthly presales ad revenue grew fivefold from 300 million won to 1.5 billion won. ZIGBANG CO. set a target to further grow this institutional sector by 76% year over year in 2026 and achieve monthly revenue of 7.3 billion won in the fourth quarter.
ZIGBANG CO. emphasized that by introducing artificial intelligence (AI) to further cut operating costs, it reduced operating losses by more than 50% from the previous year. Starting in the second half of 2025, the company adopted "AI Spec Driven Development (AI-SDD)" and shifted the entire process from planning to development to an AI-based approach. As a result, service implementation time was shortened from the previous 2–3 weeks to 2–3 days, and as of the first half of 2026, development productivity improved threefold. ZIGBANG CO. plans to raise service launch speed by up to four times by year-end and complete a structure that operates the entire process centered on AI.
