✦ AI Summary
Pailink disclosed first-half consolidated revenue of KRW 28.6 billion for this year.
That was up 7% from KRW 26.7 billion in sales in the same period last year.
The company cited expanded exports to Japan and higher sales in its HCI business as the drivers.
Pailink disclosed on the 14th that its consolidated revenue for the first half of this year came to KRW 28.6 billion. That was up 7% from KRW 26.7 billion in sales a year earlier. The company attributed the increase to expanded exports to Japan and higher sales in its Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) business.
The company said sales of security switches increased in Japan, driven by demand for both network stability and security. Based on that trend, the company plans to expand its workforce, strengthen cooperation with existing partners, seek new partners, and pursue further market expansion.
Sales of Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) also rose from a year earlier. The company said changes in licensing and business policies in the global virtualization market increased cost burdens and operational uncertainty. As a result, more companies and public institutions have begun reexamining foreign virtualization infrastructure, and that growing demand translated into HCI sales, it said.
Pailink posted an operating loss of KRW 1.6 billion in the first half. That was roughly in line with the KRW 1.5 billion operating loss recorded a year earlier. The company said the first-half operating loss reflected one-time expenses, including costs related to treasury stock granted to employees and executives, as well as higher labor costs from workforce expansion to support business growth, which increased selling, general and administrative expenses.
The company expects revenue growth and improved profitability in the second half. It said budget execution and project orders in the public sector will normalize from the third quarter, while large projects in both the public and private sectors get underway, supporting revenue growth.
A Pailink official said the company is seeing clear growth in its Japan business and HCI business, and that its business portfolio is expanding. The official said the company expects second-half revenue growth and improved profitability as the seasonal tendency for sales to increase later in the year coincides with delayed public projects and the full-scale launch of major projects.
