The results came alongside strong quarterly performances from other Samsung Group subsidiaries. Samsung E&A, the plant engineering division, saw fourth-quarter net profit surge 72.9% to 192 billion won ($130.8 million) from 111 billion won a year earlier. The company attributed the jump to revenue from large-scale hydrocarbon and environmental plant projects.

The component business recorded 22% sales growth to 1.3 trillion won as AI server operators boosted orders for multilayer ceramic capacitors.
For the full 2025 fiscal year, Samsung E&A exceeded its operating profit target of 700 billion won, posting 792.1 billion won despite an 18.5% year-over-year decline. The company secured 6.4 trillion won in new orders last year, building a total backlog of 17.8 trillion won.
Samsung Electro-Mechanics reported annual net income of 731 billion won, up 3.9% from the previous year. The company plans to increase supply of high value-added products for AI and industrial sectors while strengthening its automotive MLCC lineup with high-capacity components.
Looking ahead, Samsung E&A aims to secure 12 trillion won in orders for the coming year with sales targets of 10 trillion won and operating profit of 800 billion won. The company will focus on high-end sectors including methanol, low-carbon ammonia, sustainable aviation fuel, and environment-friendly plastic plants.
The Samsung Group subsidiaries' performance reflects broader trends in South Korea's industrial and technology sectors, with AI infrastructure investment driving component demand while large-scale plant projects support engineering divisions.
