Transaction Volume Surpasses 2.8 Trillion Won
Shift to Profitable Growth as Losses Narrow
Men's and Global Business Performance Becomes Visible
Financial Stability Strengthened by Improved Cash Flow

Ablely Corporation achieved record-high revenue last year. The company simultaneously delivered both top-line growth and improved profitability by reinvesting profits generated by its flagship service, Ablely, into new businesses such as men's fashion.


On April 10, Ablely Corporation announced through its 2025 audit report that it recorded annual revenue of 369.7 billion won. This marks a 10.6% increase from the previous year and represents nearly a fourfold growth compared to 2021.

During the same period, total transaction volume reached approximately 2.8 trillion won, a 12% increase and an all-time high for the company. Profitability also improved significantly: operating loss was reduced to 4.3 billion won, down 72% year-on-year, and net loss for the period dropped by 83% to 3 billion won.


One of the most notable developments was the shift in revenue structure. By expanding its categories beyond fashion into beauty, food, and music, and with growth in its men's and global businesses, service revenue rose 20.2% year-on-year to 227.3 billion won. As this segment's revenue increases in tandem with transaction volume, the platform's scale directly leads to improved profitability. Product revenue remained stable at 142.3 billion won, while its start-up support solution, "Partners," became a major source of income.


The company is also seeing results from investments in new businesses funded by platform-generated profits. The men's fashion app 4910 saw its transaction volume grow by 137% year-on-year, and monthly active users (MAU) rose from about 1.7 million to 3.4 million. Amood, targeting the Japanese market, recorded a cumulative 6.5 million downloads, with the number of sellers entering Japan surpassing 25,000. Ablely plans to accelerate the development of new growth engines, including its own beauty private brand (PB) and offline expansion.


The company's financial foundation has also strengthened. As of the end of the year, cash and cash equivalents stood at around 100 billion won, an increase of about 28 billion won from the previous year, and operating cash flow recorded a surplus of 15 billion won. This indicates that the company is generating cash from its core business without relying on external funding.



CEO Kang Sukhoon stated, "The profit base of our core platform has become more solid, and the results of investments in new businesses are becoming visible. Going forward, we will focus on enhancing our service competitiveness through data and technology and securing new growth drivers."
