▶ Sales Up 24%, Operating Profit Up 291% Year-on-Year Driven By Global Market Demand Recovery
▶ Steady Demand for Infrastructure and Mining in Emerging Markets; Recovery Also Noted in North America and Europe
▶ Engine Division Experienced Increased Sales of Generator and Defense Engines, Maintaining Double-Digit Operating Profit Margins

On Thursday, the 30th, HD Hyundai Infracore announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2025. The company reported sales of 1.1302 trillion won and an operating profit of 80.9 billion won. 

This represents a year-on-year increase of 24% in sales and an impressive 291% rise in operating profit, driven by a recovery in the global construction machinery market.

Sales growth was observed across major regions as demand recovered. The significant rise in operating profit stemmed from strategies aimed at improving profitability, including increased sales of high-value products, price increases, and reductions in promotional spending.

In terms of business divisions, the construction machinery segment recorded sales of 854.3 billion won, up 30% from last year. Sales in advanced markets like North America and Europe grew by 38% year-on-year, thanks in part to the recovery from last year's low performance, improving demand in Europe, and a rise in pre-orders from North America.

Sales in emerging markets have steadily risen across the region, driven by increased infrastructure investments and rising demand for mining equipment in Latin America and Africa.

In China, sales surged 82% year-on-year, following the consolidation of production from the HD Hyundai Construction Equipment Jiangsu subsidiary into the HD Hyundai Infracore Yantai subsidiary, which fully realized the benefits of business restructuring.

The engine segment reported sales of 275.9 billion won and an operating profit of 46.5 billion won, up 8% and 42% year-on-year, respectively. This growth was driven by rising sales of generator engines fueled by increasing power demand, as well as consistent demand for defense engines. The division maintained double-digit operating profit margins by raising prices and expanding its share of high-margin products.

The division expects to achieve medium- to long-term growth in sales and profitability by increasing sales of large electronic and gas generator engines and expanding its defense engine sales. This growth will be bolstered by the broader use of its engines within the integrated entity.

An official from HD Hyundai Infracore commented, “With the ongoing recovery of the global market, we aim to strengthen our growth across all construction machinery and engine segments. Additionally, we plan to enhance both our mid-to-long-term sales and profitability by focusing on high-margin products and implementing efficient cost management strategies.”
