Samsung Electronics disclosed its fourth-quarter results for last year on Thursday, reporting consolidated revenue of 93 trillion KRW (approximately 64.17 billion USD) and operating profit of 20 trillion KRW (approximately 13.80 billion USD).
These figures represent year-over-year increases of 22.71% and 208.17%, respectively, setting new quarterly records for both sales and operating profit. The previous highs were 86.1 trillion KRW (approximately 59.41 billion USD) in revenue for Q3 2025 and 17.57 trillion KRW (approximately 12.12 billion USD) in operating profit for Q3 2018.
Compared to the previous quarter, revenue grew by 8.06% and operating profit surged by 64.34%, clearly indicating a strong performance rebound. Analysts attribute this robust showing primarily to the semiconductor sector’s recovery, which has gained traction despite the global economic slowdown.
These preliminary figures, estimated using Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (K-IFRS), were released for investor convenience prior to the final accounting. Samsung Electronics pioneered quarterly performance forecasts among Korean companies in 2009 and has been at the forefront of implementing IFRS standards since 2010.
In an effort to enhance investor relations, Samsung Electronics plans to hold a conference call later this month, which will include a pre-submitted Q&A session.
A Samsung Electronics spokesperson stated, “We will collect inquiries about our business operations and provide direct responses to key shareholder concerns following the earnings announcement.”
