Quarterly revenue of KRW 74.6 trillion, operating profit at KRW 4.7 trillion
Quarterly revenue of KRW 74.6 trillion, operating profit at KRW 4.7 trillion
Samsung Electronics today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.
The Company posted KRW 74.6 trillion in consolidated revenue, a decrease of 5.8% compared to the previous quarter. Operating profit decreased to KRW 4.7 trillion.
The Device Solutions (DS) Division reported an increase in revenue on the back of expanded sales of high density, high-performance memory products, but inventory value adjustments in memory and one-off costs related to the impacts of export restrictions related to China in non-memory had an adverse effect on profit. In the Device eXperience (DX) Division, operating profit declined quarter-on-quarter due to a sequential decline in sales volume following the launch of new smartphone models in the first quarter.
Looking ahead to H2, the DS Division plans to proactively meet the growing demand for high-value-added and AI-driven products and continue to strengthen competitiveness in advanced semiconductors. The DX Division will seek to minimize the impact of uncertainties stemming from tariff policies that are likely to persist.
Semiconductors Expected To Proactively Meet Continued AI Demand
The DS Division posted KRW 27.9 trillion in consolidated revenue and KRW 0.4 trillion in operating profit for the second quarter.
In Q2 2025, the Memory Business proactively addressed robust server demand by expanding HBM3E sales and by expanding the proportion of high-density DDR5 products. Also, with the resumption of datacenter projects that were previously delayed, sales of server SSDs increased, helping NAND inventory to decrease significantly. However, earnings were impacted by one-off costs such as inventory value adjustments.
In H2 2025, AI demand is expected to remain robust due to continued investments by major cloud service providers, and therefore server demand for both DRAM and NAND is expected to stay strong.
To align with solid AI-server demand for DRAM, the Memory Business will proactively address the need for high-density products and diversify product offerings through HBM, server LPDDR5x, high-density DDR5, 24Gb GDDR7 and other products.
