SAMSUNG E&A, a total solutions provider for the global energy industry, announced its preliminary Q1 2026 financial results today, reporting revenue of KRW 2.2674 trillion, an operating profit of KRW 188.2 billion, and a net profit of KRW 163.3 billion (consolidated K-IFRS). These figures represent a year-on-year increase of 8.1% in revenue, 19.6% in operating profit, and 3.9% in net profit.


The company attributed this stable growth to the full-scale revenue recognition from large-scale Hydrocarbon plants and domestic Advanced Tech plants. Additionally, cost competitiveness driven by execution differentiation—based on innovative technologies such as AI, automation, and modularization—played a significant role in maintaining growth despite uncertainties in the global energy market.


By business segment, the Hydrocarbon division recorded KRW 1.1299 trillion in revenue, while the Advanced Tech and New Energy divisions contributed KRW 574.2 billion and KRW 563.3 billion, respectively. Following its portfolio reorganization earlier this year aimed at accelerating future growth, the company is successfully demonstrating its enhanced business capabilities through these results.


The company also achieved solid results in new orders. In the first quarter, new orders reached KRW 4.6 trillion, achieving approximately 40% of its annual target. This brought the order backlog to KRW 20.6 trillion, securing approximately 2.3 years' worth of work (based on 2025 revenue of KRW 9 trillion).


A spokesperson from SAMSUNG E&A stated, "We are consistently improving our cost structure by differentiating our project execution through innovative technologies. We remain committed to sustainable growth by proactively responding to the evolving global energy landscape."


SAMSUNG E&A achieved a series of meaningful results in external evaluations during the first quarter. The company received an 'AA' grade in the MSCI ESG Ratings and an 'A' grade in the CDP Climate Change assessment, moving up one and two levels from their previous ratings, respectively. The expansion of investments in clean energy technologies was cited as a major factor in these upgrades. Building on this recognition from global institutions, SAMSUNG E&A plans to further solidify its status as an eco-friendly enterprise and a global ESG leader.
