Samsung Electronics said in a regulatory filing Thursday that its fourth-quarter consolidated revenue rose to 93.8374 trillion won and operating profit totaled 20.0737 trillion won. Operating profit surged 209.17% from a year earlier.
For the year, revenue came to 333.6059 trillion won and operating profit reached 43.6011 trillion won.
Samsung said results were driven by its Device Solutions (DS) division, citing expanded sales of high-margin products such as high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and rising memory prices. The company said it posted record quarterly revenue and operating profit.
It also pointed to stronger sales of higher-value products, including server DDR5 and enterprise SSDs, alongside higher memory prices.
In foundry, Samsung said it began ramping mass production of a first-generation 2-nanometer product and saw revenue rise on strong demand from customers in the United States and China, but profitability gains were limited due to provisions-related costs.
The Device Experience (DX) division, which leads the mobile business, posted an 8% revenue decline from the third quarter as the boost from new smartphone launches faded. DS revenue, however, rose 33% from the prior quarter, helping lift overall results, the company said.
Samsung said it spent 10.9 trillion won on research and development in the fourth quarter and a record 37.7 trillion won for all of 2025, continuing investment to secure future technologies.
