Insights
TL;DR: KEPCO shows materially stronger top-line and profit performance in H1 2025, with consolidated net income jumping to KRW 3,538bn.
The reported consolidated results show meaningful year-over-year gains across revenue, operating income, and net income for both the quarter and first half. Consolidated operating income for Jan.-Jun. improved by KRW 3,339bn to KRW 5,889bn, and net income rose by KRW 2,828bn to KRW 3,538bn. These are sizable absolute improvements and are likely material for investor assessments of near-term earnings performance. Analysts should note the company prepared these as preliminary, unaudited K-IFRS figures.
TL;DR: Utility-scale results show sustained revenue growth and a swing to substantial profitability on both consolidated and separate statements.
KEPCO's consolidated revenue for the first half reached KRW 46,174bn and separate revenue reached KRW 45,461bn, each up over KRW 2.4tn year-over-year. The separate financials show a clear recovery from prior losses at the operating and pre-tax levels. These improvements, presented under K-IFRS, indicate stronger operating margins in the period covered. However, the data are preliminary and unaudited, which limits definitive operational conclusions until final, audited statements are available.
