In a preliminary earnings filing on April 23, the company said first-quarter 2026 revenue rose 8.1% from a year earlier to 2.2674 trillion won. Operating profit climbed 19.6% to 188.2 billion won, and net profit increased 3.9% to 163.3 billion won.
The company attributed the steady growth to the fuller reflection of revenue from large petrochemical plants and domestic advanced-industry plant projects.
By segment, petrochemicals accounted for 1.1299 trillion won of revenue, while the advanced-industry and new energy segments posted 574.2 billion won and 563.3 billion won, respectively, out of total revenue of 2.2674 trillion won.
Samsung E&A also reported strong new orders. It booked 4.6 trillion won in new orders in the first quarter, reaching about 40% of its annual target. Its order backlog stood at 20.6 trillion won, equivalent to about 2.3 years of work.
A company official said Samsung E&A is achieving ongoing cost improvements by differentiating execution through innovative technology and will pursue sustainable growth by responding actively to changes in the global energy market.
