WIZIT Reports 25.8 Billion Won in Operating Profit Last Year, Up 87% Year-on-Year

WIZIT, a key manufacturer of semiconductor and display components, recorded significant growth in its performance last year.

On March 17, WIZIT announced that its consolidated sales for last year reached 483 billion won, with operating profit of 25.8 billion won and net profit of 27.7 billion won. These figures represent increases of 35%, 87%, and 1,562%, respectively, compared to the previous year.

The company also saw improvements on a separate basis. Sales stood at 36 billion won, operating profit at 1.2 billion won, and net profit at 5.3 billion won, up 6%, 694%, and 493%, respectively, year-on-year.

The company attributed this performance improvement to robust results from its subsidiary Powernet, as well as an increase in orders for key components driven by the recovery of the global semiconductor market. In particular, with increased investment in artificial intelligence (AI) servers and data centers, demand for high-performance semiconductors has risen, resulting in greater sales of "Shower Head" consumable parts used in semiconductor etching and thin film processes.

A WIZIT representative stated, "Amid the recovery in the semiconductor industry, our strategies to diversify customers and expand the supply of key components have driven performance growth. Last year's increase in operating profit was not merely due to higher sales, but was also the result of restructuring our business portfolio around high value-added components and strengthening cost competitiveness."

Meanwhile, WIZIT has been designated by the government as a 'national strategic technology' commercialization facility for producing advanced memory semiconductor (DRAM, NAND Flash, HBM) materials and components. The company is pushing for a portfolio realignment centered on high value-added products in the semiconductor sector, continuously increasing the proportion of sales from highly profitable semiconductor components. The display sector is also expected to maintain its growth on the back of stable demand and the expansion of new items.

The company representative added, "We expect the positive momentum in the semiconductor industry to continue this year as well. We will do our best to enhance corporate value and maximize shareholder returns by supplying high-quality products."
