ZIGBANG CO. expressed its ambition to aim for a full-year turnaround to profit this year.
ZIGBANG CO. held its 2026 regular shareholders meeting and on the 27th announced its 2025 business results and 2026 business plan containing 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. Over the past year, it cut monthly fixed operating expenses by 24% and reduced financing costs by about 30%. It said that combining these two pillars generated an annual expense improvement effect of about 10 billion won.
In addition, starting in the first quarter of 2026, EBITDA turned to profit. ZIGBANG CO. expects to achieve a full-year profit turnaround this year. The company also revamped its business model from brokerage to an advertising-centered model and carried out a "big bath" by recognizing losses in full for subsidiaries related to brokerage.
ZIGBANG CO., having focused on companywide workflow efficiency efforts throughout 2025, reduced its cost of sales ratio by more than 13 percentage points (p), from 47% in 2024 to 34%. Accordingly, gross profit increased 18% from a year earlier.
ZIGBANG CO. emphasized that by introducing artificial intelligence (AI) to further reduce operating expenses, it cut operating losses by more than 50% year over year. From the second half of 2025, ZIGBANG CO. 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 increase the service launch speed by up to fourfold by year-end and complete a structure that operates the entire process centered on AI.
