Net income also rose to 7.5 billion won, a 1,451.7% increase from the same period last year (500 million won).

In particular, the second quarter saw a noticeable improvement in profitability alongside revenue growth. The second-quarter operating profit margin was approximately 17.3%, up 9.7 percentage points (p) from the previous quarter (approximately 7.5%). This improvement in profitability resulted from the expansion of profit margins driven by revenue growth. POSBANK CO., LTD. plans to strengthen the global competitiveness of its existing POS and kiosk businesses while cultivating the robotics and AI sectors as new growth engines. The company recently invested approximately 5 billion won to establish “PAMR,” a wholly-owned subsidiary dedicated to robotics and AI, and acquired the robotics division of RGT, a company specializing in autonomous robots, thereby securing related technology, personnel, and intellectual property rights. A POSBANK CO., LTD. official stated, “In the second quarter, we achieved meaningful results by simultaneously driving revenue growth and improving profitability,” adding, “We will continue to strengthen the competitiveness of our existing businesses while fostering the robotics and AI business as a new growth pillar to lay the foundation for mid- to long-term growth.”
