[Edaily Reporter JAEMIN SONG ] DB HiTek Co.,LTD boosted its profitability in the second quarter, driven by growing demand for automotive and industrial power semiconductors, as well as semiconductors for artificial intelligence (AI) data centers and robots.

DB HiTek Co.,LTD announced preliminary consolidated results for the second quarter of this year, reporting revenue of 414.5 billion won and operating profit of 105.2 billion won. Compared to the same period last year, revenue increased by 23% and operating profit by 43%. The operating profit margin stood at 25%.

With the operating profit growth rate exceeding the revenue growth rate by 20 percentage points, the company achieved both revenue growth and improved profitability simultaneously. This means that for every 100 won in revenue generated from product sales, approximately 25 won was converted into operating profit.

The improvement in performance was driven by increased demand for high-value-added products, particularly automotive and industrial power semiconductors. The company explained that the recent expansion of semiconductor volumes in new application areas, such as AI data centers and robotics, has further contributed to an improved product mix.

In AI data centers, demand is rising for power semiconductors that stably control the power supply to servers, cooling systems, and power distribution units. In the robotics market as well, the use of semiconductors in motors, drive systems, and power management components is on the rise. DB HiTek Co.,LTD plans to diversify its demand base by expanding its business structure—which has traditionally focused on automotive and industrial equipment—to include these new applications.

DB HiTek Co.,LTD produces power semiconductors based on its high-voltage BCD (Bipolar-Combinational Device) process. BCD is a technology that integrates analog and digital circuits with high-voltage devices onto a single chip and is used in automotive and industrial equipment, as well as power management semiconductors. The company is one of the world’s top 10 foundry firms, serving approximately 400 global customers.

In addition to existing silicon-based power semiconductors, the company is expanding its process capabilities to include next-generation compound semiconductors such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN). SiC and GaN can reduce power loss even at high voltages and temperatures, leading to expanded adoption primarily in high-power environments such as electric vehicles and AI data centers.

The company is also pursuing an expansion of production capacity to meet growing customer demand. DB HiTek Co.,LTD plans to strengthen profitability by securing new production facilities while increasing the revenue share of high-value-added products and new application areas.

A DB HiTek Co.,LTD official stated, “We will accelerate market expansion, focusing on new growth applications such as AI data centers and robotics,” adding, “We will also proceed smoothly with our ongoing production capacity expansion to meet customer demand.”

DB HiTek Co.,LTD is holding a briefing on its second-quarter financial results for domestic institutional investors from today through the 6th.
