Hecto Innovation Surpasses 200 Billion Won in First-Half Sales for the First Time Since Founding

Hecto Innovation has surpassed 200 billion won in consolidated semiannual sales for the first time since its founding.

According to Hecto Innovation on August 7, its consolidated sales for the first half of this year stood at 215.1 billion won, up 18.6% from the same period last year, and its operating profit was 27.4 billion won, a 9.1% increase year-on-year.

However, consolidated sales in the second quarter totaled 102.8 billion won, up 12.0% from a year earlier, while operating profit fell by 4.0% to 12.9 billion won. The company explained that this was due to proactive investments in launching new services and securing future growth engines.

Hecto Innovation's record-high results in the first half were driven by its 'multi-growth engine' strategy, which involves simultaneously scaling up multiple business divisions. In the first half of this year, Hecto Innovation's IT information service, fintech, and healthcare divisions each posted year-on-year sales growth of 16.8%, 18.3%, and 17.3%, respectively.

To maximize group synergies, Hecto Innovation is working to establish a stablecoin ecosystem that organically connects 'wallet-payment-platform' based on its IT capabilities and platform operation expertise. The company plans to combine the payment infrastructure of its subsidiary Hecto Financial and wallet technology from Hecto Wallet One to establish a stablecoin payment rail that seamlessly spans storage, payment, and settlement of stablecoins.

Hyuncheol Lee, CEO of Hecto Innovation, stated, "Thanks to balanced growth across all business units, we exceeded 200 billion won in consolidated sales in the first half, proving both Hecto Innovation's fundamental competitiveness and the effectiveness of our multi-growth engine strategy. We will continue to invest in securing future growth drivers, such as building a stablecoin ecosystem that links platforms, digital asset wallets, and payment infrastructure, while maintaining stable profitability."
