With a remarkable first-quarter revenue of KRW 1,174.9 billion, a 17.3% year-on-year increase, and an operating profit of KRW 211.2 billion, up 9.0% from the previous year, Coway demonstrates resilience and strategic foresight in today's rapidly changing marketplace.
Domestic and Global Growth Factors
The domestic business segment reported a revenue of KRW 678.6 billion, reflecting a 10.8% increase year-over-year.

Essential product launches, such as the Looloo Double Care Bidet 2 and the NOBLE 2.0 Air Purifier series, coupled with the sustained popularity of renowned product lines like the Icon Water Purifier series and BEREX comfort products, have undoubtedly played a crucial role in this achievement.
International Expansion and Revenue Growth
Coway's overseas subsidiaries significantly contributed to the company’s financial success, generating KRW 446.7 billion in revenue, a 25.8% increase when compared to Q1 of the previous year. The Malaysia subsidiary led the charge with a remarkable KRW 328.9 billion in revenue (a 22% year-on-year increase), while the U.S. and Thailand subsidiaries also experienced robust growth with revenues of KRW 60.0 billion (+33.7% YoY) and KRW 42.9 billion (+43.9% YoY) respectively. This highlights Coway's impressive adaptability to diverse market conditions.
Future Outlook and Strategic Moves
Looking ahead, Coway plans to repurchase KRW 110 billion worth of treasury stock as part of its Corporate Value-Up Plan. This proactive approach aims to enhance shareholder value, indicating the company's commitment to continuous growth and investment strategies. CFO Soon Tae Kim noted that the company intends to remain agile and innovative in product offerings, particularly focusing on the expansion of its elder care business, Coway Life Solution.
