[Edaily Reporter An Yu-ri ] DANAL CO., LTD.(064260)announced on the 14th that, based on its consolidated financial statements for the first half of 2026, it recorded revenue of 115.4 billion won and operating profit of 3.0 billion won. On a standalone basis, revenue was 92.8 billion won and operating profit was 6.9 billion won.

Revenue increased by 1.9% year-over-year, but operating profit decreased by 11.8%. On a standalone basis, the company recorded revenue of 92.8 billion won and operating profit of 6.9 billion won. These figures represent decreases of 6.4% and 28.9%, respectively, compared to the same period last year.

In the first half of this year, DANAL CO., LTD. achieved solid revenue growth compared to the same period last year, driven by the expansion of its payment business focused on large merchants and increased transactions in the retail, culture, and leisure sectors, while simultaneously focusing on investments in new businesses such as stablecoins and foreign payment platforms.

DANAL CO., LTD. stated that while the net loss for the period was temporarily influenced by the valuation of held assets due to increased volatility in global financial markets, its operating profitability and cash flow remain stable.

In addition to the stability of its core business, DANAL CO., LTD. is comprehensively strengthening its role as a “payment hub” that connects global payment methods—such as Samsung Wallet, WeChat Pay, and PayPal—with its domestic and international services. In particular, with Samsung Wallet, the company is maintaining a unique, long-term partnership by providing diversified partnership services ranging from offline mobile payments to integrated online payment solutions and online payments via Samsung Wallet Money.

Driven by the recent increase in foreign tourists visiting Korea, the transaction volume for WeChat Pay offline QR payments—in partnership with Tencent—reached an all-time high in the first half of the year. Furthermore, the company solidified its position in the inbound market by adding Vietnam’s ZaloPay to its existing options (PayPal and WeChat Pay) for tuition payments by international students at 94 universities nationwide.

Furthermore, “K.ONDA,” a prepaid card exclusively for foreign visitors launched last July, has successfully established itself in the market as an essential platform for travel in Korea—covering shopping, delivery, transportation, and ATM withdrawals—through its deployment at kiosks in major commercial districts.

In the future payment sectors of stablecoins and Web3, the company is accelerating the commercialization of in-person payments by proceeding with a JPYC payment collaboration with LINE Next and validating Binance Pay’s offline QR payment technology, following the onboarding of Circle’s USDC and the signing of a contract with Binance Pay Korea. The company plans to launch services targeting regulated financial institutions and global companies in line with the enactment of relevant domestic laws.

Among its major subsidiaries, DANAL CO., LTD. succeeded in returning to profitability in the first half of the year, driven by the success of exhibitions featuring popular IP content.

A DANAL CO., LTD. official stated, “During the first half of the year, we proactively responded to structural changes in the global payment market and achieved various successes with our new services currently in development.” The official added, “Going forward, we will further refine our core growth engines to secure a leading position in the future financial market and translate these efforts into tangible profits to further elevate our corporate value.”
