Samsung E&A said on the 23rd that it posted an operating profit of 188.2 billion won in the first quarter. The figure was up 19.6% from a year earlier.
Revenue for the same period rose 8.1% to 2.2674 trillion won, while net profit increased 3.9% to 163.3 billion won.
Samsung E&A said its results grew as revenue from large petrochemical plants and domestic advanced-industry plants was reflected. It also noted that improved cost competitiveness through execution differentiation based on innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and modules helped sustain stable growth.
By revenue breakdown, the petrochemical division accounted for the largest share at 1.1299 trillion won. The advanced-industry division and the new energy division recorded 574.2 billion won and 563.3 billion won, respectively.
New orders were also solid. Samsung E&A booked 4.6 trillion won in new orders in the first quarter, achieving about 40% of its annual target. As a result, its order backlog came to 20.6 trillion won, securing about 2.3 years' worth of work based on 2025 revenue of 9 trillion won.
A company official said, "We are achieving continuous cost improvements through execution differentiation based on innovative technologies," adding, "We will actively respond to changes in the global energy market and achieve sustainable growth."
