Profits of Listed Firms Surge

KOREA TIMES: 2002/09/30

 

By Cho Hyo-young /Staff Reporter

 

Listed companies that closed their books in June posted a surge of more than 500 percent in combined net profits this year from a year earlier. The financial sector saw remarkable earnings, and some manufacturers enjoyed profit from debt write-offs.

 

The Korea Stock Exchange (KSE) reported yesterday that 21 KSE-listed firms whose fiscal year ends in June chalked up a 539.5-percent rise of 436.8 billion won in combined net profits during the fiscal year 2001 between July 2001 and June 2002. They also registered 3.25 trillion won in revenues during the same period, an increase of 2.7 percent year-on-year.

 

During the same span, they also saw operating profits soar 150 percent to 268.2 billion won, whereas the firms posted a deficit of 45.7 billion won in ordinary profits.

 

The main board said the manufacturing sector continued to enjoy a profit, while the financial industry saw better earnings after a steep rise in revenues, cost cuts and sustained restructuring.

 

The 16 listed firms in the manufacturing sector recorded a 1.3-percent drop of 2.89 trillion won in revenues, while it realized a 239.6-percent surge of 383.1 billion won in net profits.

 

The sharp rise in net profits of the manufacturing sector is attributable to the fact that Shinho Paper posted a profit of 548.2 billion won from a write-off of a debt.

 

The five listed financial industry firms saw revenues jump 54.45 percent, to 354 billion won, with 53.7 billion won in net profits, swinging back to the black.

 

Those returning to profit include Namhan Paper, Samyang Heavy Machinery, Shinho Paper, Jeil Savings Bank, Jinheung Savings Bank and Korea Savings Bank.

 

However, Namyang and Manho Rope & Wire switched into the red.

 

The 26 Kosdaq-registered firms whose fiscal year ends in June brought in 1.37 trillion won in revenues this year, an increase of 10.5 percent year- on-year, while all companies swung back to the black, Kosdaq officials said.
