Kolon announced on August 14 that it recorded sales of 1.7 trillion won, an operating profit of 99.8 billion won, and a net profit of 55.4 billion won for the second quarter of 2026. Compared to the same period last year, sales increased by 13.5%, while operating profit surged by 129.4%.
Kolon Industries, a subsidiary applying the equity method, saw growth in both sales and operating profit year-on-year, driven by expanded sales of key industrial materials such as airbags, tire cords, and aramid, increased demand in the chemical sector, and steady growth of major brands in the fashion segment.
Kolon Global, another subsidiary, improved profitability through stabilized cost rates in the construction sector, the ramp-up of non-residential project sales, synergies from the merger of its leisure and asset management businesses, and seasonal effects. In the first half of the year, Kolon Global achieved new orders totaling 985.4 billion won, primarily in the non-residential sector, and plans to maintain stable profitability through ongoing improvements in construction cost rates and a selective bidding strategy in the second half.
Kolon Mobility Group exceeded its key management indicators, benefiting from strong sales of premium imported cars and the expansion of its used car business. The group plans to enhance its sales service infrastructure and build a comprehensive mobility ecosystem covering new and used cars, after-sales service, and data through its recently acquired auction business.
In the manufacturing sector, Kolon Industries aims to strengthen its growth foundation by focusing on high-value-added industrial materials and enhancing operational efficiency in the second half of the year. The fashion segment is also expected to continue its growth trend by strengthening strategic product planning capabilities and expanding distribution channels.
Previously, Kolon reported sales of 1.5 trillion won, an operating profit of 98.8 billion won, and a net loss of 44.7 billion won in the first quarter.
