FSN Achieves Record Quarterly Results with KRW 12 Billion Operating Profit in Q2

FSN has achieved its highest ever quarterly performance since its founding.

According to FSN on July 29, provisional consolidated sales for the second quarter of this year reached KRW 76.7 billion, up 6.4% compared to the same period last year, while operating profit increased by 26.0% to KRW 12 billion. In particular, operating profit rose sharply by 534.1% compared to the previous quarter, significantly improving profitability. For the first half of the year, cumulative provisional sales totaled KRW 160 billion and operating profit reached KRW 13.9 billion.

This outstanding performance is the result of successfully restructuring its business model from traditional advertising agency services towards a focus on brand, platform, and artificial intelligence (AI). With this strategy clearly reflected in the second quarter results, FSN demonstrated the successful establishment of a profitability-centered transformation. The core advertising business strengthened its competitiveness in the rapidly changing market by introducing a company-wide 'AI Driven' strategy, integrating AI into its key areas, and responding proactively to market shifts. This also led to performance growth for its subsidiary, Boosters.

FSN plans to accelerate the expansion of new businesses in the second half of the year. By launching the new K-beauty brand 'Gipeun', it will expand its brand portfolio into the beauty sector. The company also aims to secure additional growth momentum in the K-healthcare sector by strengthening its overseas patient attraction business, centered on DaDamo and JeongHandoc.

The move to reinforce responsible management is also in full swing. Following the main friendly investor increasing its stake through on-market purchase, FSN management has also begun to acquire shares through on-market purchases.

An FSN representative commented, "By enhancing the competitiveness of our advertising business through AI innovation and generating synergy in co-growth business with partner brands, centered on our subsidiary Boosters, FSN has achieved its strongest-ever quarterly performance since its founding. Going forward, we will further enhance our AI marketing capabilities and successfully establish new ventures such as K-beauty, broadening our growth trajectory."
