Shares: connector/market_inputs

Amounts: USD (converted) · As reported
Converted modes use NBK / ECB-linked rates: balance sheet date for BS items, period average for P&L and cash flow (see filing row evidence). As reported keeps each row in its filing currency.

Financial results

Monetary columns are in T KRW, one decimal; scale (K/M/B/T) keeps values readable. For the period (default) shows P&L and cash flow for that row’s reporting window: quarterly amounts when the feed uses quarter-duration facts (typical US 10-Q revenue and income), quarterly cash flows after stripping YTD where only cumulative tags exist, and an implied Q4 on 31 Dec FY rows (P&L: FY minus Q1–Q3; operating / investing cash flow: FY 12m minus 9M YTD to 30 Sep when sourced from SEC builder evidence) so they match 10-Q scale. Some issuers still use cumulative YTD minus the prior row in the same calendar year. As reported shows values stored on each row (e.g. full-year on FY). Balance sheet is always as reported. Source JSON may use millions etc.; conversion uses amounts_unit per row.

Profit and cash

Profit is cash-backed
In a typical year of 2021–2025 operating cash flow came to 1.29x of reported net profit; after capex, 0.93x.

cash flow / profit1.55x1.73x1.29x1.29x1.20x
accruals, % of assets—-5.3%-3.1%-3.0%-1.5%
Last twelve months (to 2026-06-30): 1.54x of profit came back as operating cash flow.
net debt / EBITDA -0.9x · capex 1.3x of depreciation
Read from the reported annual statements: cash flow / profit is the median of the yearly operating cash flow over net profit for the years shown; accruals are (profit − operating cash flow) / assets, the classic gap between what was booked and what was collected. A gap can be growth in working capital, capitalised costs, revaluations or profit from associates — the panel points at it, the statements explain it. Not investment advice.

Fundamental value creation

Value the company creates per year, as a % of market cap

Value created per year: +0.4%

How this was calculated
1. EBITDA growth (latest quarter YoY, annualised)
[EBITDA latest qtr − EBITDA year-ago qtr] × annualisation X (2026-06-30 vs 2025-06-30)
= (3 420 509 − 3 409 376) × 3.27
36 357
2. Current EV/EBITDA (LTM)
(Market cap + Net debt) ÷ EBITDA (LTM)
= (49 126 124 + -14 256 511) ÷ 11 170 457
3.1x
3. Target multiple
(Current EV/EBITDA + 8) ÷ 2
= (3.1 + 8) ÷ 2
5.6x
4. Cash flow (balance method, LTM)
Net-debt reduction + dividends + buybacks − equity issuance
= 5 000 659 + 0 + 0 − 0
0
5. Value created per year
(EBITDA growth × Target multiple + Cash flow − Dilution) ÷ Market cap
= (36 357 × 5.6 + 0) ÷ 49 126 124
+0.4%

Amounts in millions of the reporting currency. EBITDA growth is the latest quarter vs the same quarter a year ago, annualised.

Caveats:

  • dividends/buybacks not in data - balance cash flow uses net-debt change only
  • net-cash rise stripped: net debt fell while EBITDA declined and no share dilution measured (likely equity raise / recapitalisation)

Revenue growth & acceleration

Growth steady →
Last-year revenue growth +6% vs +8% the year before — a -1.4 pp move. 3-year CAGR +10%.
revenue growth by year: 2023 +15% · 2024 +8% · 2025 +6%
The growth-acceleration signal behind the GARP+acceleration strategy — it favours companies whose revenue growth is speeding up and flags those slowing down (the second derivative of growth).
