Bars in ₩ (조/억, left) · Margin % (right)RevenueNet ProfitNet Margin %
How to read this: the blue bars are revenue (total money brought in); the teal bars are net profit (what was left after all costs); the orange line is net margin — the share of revenue kept as profit, read on the right-hand scale. Growing bars mean a bigger company; a rising line means it is keeping more of each unit of revenue it earns.
Dividend Per Share
Declared dividend per share, in ₩How to read this: dividend per share (DPS) is the cash dividend a company declared for each share over the year. A steady or rising bar over time is often read as a sign of consistent cash returns to shareholders. A company that pays no dividend will show nothing here. This is the declared figure as reported to the regulator, not a forecast.

Figures in ₩ (Korean won), as reported to FSS/DART. Educational data only.
Understanding these terms
Plain-English explanations of each figure in the table above, and what a beginner typically looks at. These are educational descriptions only, not advice.
- Revenue
- The total money a company earned from its core business during the period, before subtracting any costs. The US equivalent of "Sales" and often called the "top line".How a beginner reads it: Look at the multi-year direction and consistency rather than a single figure. A beginner often asks: is revenue growing, flat, or shrinking, and is the pattern smooth or lumpy? Pair it with profit — growing revenue with shrinking profit is worth understanding further.
- Operating Profit
- What is left from sales after subtracting the regular operating expenses, but before interest, tax, and other one-off items. It reflects how much the core business earns.How a beginner reads it: Because it strips out financing and tax effects, a beginner uses it to judge the health of the actual business operations. Watching the multi-year trend shows whether the core business is getting stronger or weaker, separate from how it is financed.
- OPM %
- Operating Profit Margin — operating profit shown as a percentage of sales. It answers: out of every 100 rupees of sales, how many remain as operating profit?How a beginner reads it: A beginner uses margin to compare profitability across years and against similar companies, because it adjusts for size. A margin that holds steady or drifts up over time reads differently from one that keeps slipping.
- Other Income
- Income that comes from outside the main business — such as interest earned on deposits, dividends from investments, or one-time gains.How a beginner reads it: A beginner checks whether profit is coming from the real business or from other income. If a large share of profit is "other income", the underlying operations may be earning less than the headline profit suggests.
- Interest
- The cost a company pays to lenders for borrowed money during the period.How a beginner reads it: A beginner reads interest alongside borrowings and operating profit. If interest eats up a large slice of operating profit, the business has less cushion. Falling interest over time can signal debt being repaid.
- Depreciation
- A non-cash charge that spreads the cost of long-lived assets (machines, buildings, equipment) over the years they are used, rather than all at once.How a beginner reads it: A beginner remembers that depreciation reduces reported profit but is not cash leaving the company that year. It helps explain why a profitable company's cash flow can differ from its net profit.
- Profit before tax
- Profit remaining after all expenses, interest, and depreciation, but before income tax is deducted. Often shortened to PBT.How a beginner reads it: A beginner uses PBT to see earnings before the tax rate (which can vary year to year) muddies the comparison. Looking at PBT next to operating profit shows how much interest and other items reduced earnings.
- Tax %
- The share of pre-tax profit paid as income tax during the period.How a beginner reads it: A beginner notices when the rate looks unusually low or high for a year, which can hint at one-off tax items. A roughly stable tax rate makes year-to-year profit comparisons cleaner.
- Net Profit
- The final profit left after every cost, interest, tax, and depreciation — the "bottom line" that belongs to shareholders.How a beginner reads it: A beginner looks at the multi-year trend and how it tracks against sales. Net profit growing in step with sales reads differently from net profit boosted mainly by one-off or non-operating items.
- Dividend Payout %
- The share of net profit paid out to shareholders as dividends, rather than kept inside the company.How a beginner reads it: A beginner reads this to understand how a company splits profit between rewarding shareholders now and reinvesting for growth. Neither a high nor low payout is inherently better — it depends on whether the company has good uses for the retained cash.
