토토 캔 Chemical (CEO Kim Gyo Hyun) announced on the 8th that its 2023 Q2 tentative performance (consolidated) was 5 trillion 2.4 billion KRW and operating loss was 77 billion KRW.

The 2023 Q2 performance of 토토 캔 Chemical and its major subsidiaries are as follows.

- The basic 토토 캔 business recorded 2 trillion 755.7 billion KRW in revenue and 82.8 billion KRW in operating losses. The reverse lagging effect due to the low demand and dropping oil prices and raw material prices due to the globally slow economy was reflected, thus reducing profitability. Plans are to secure cost-competitiveness by expanding share of LPG and improve profitability by reducing the amount of general-use products and expanding the amount of high-value products such as solar power 토토 캔 and secondary battery separator polymers.

- The advanced 토토 캔 business recorded 1 trillion 98.8 billion KRW in revenue and 75.1 billion KRW in operating profits.

Increased exports to high-profit regions, improved product spread, and stabilization of transportation costs helped improve profitability. It is expected to maintain strong profitability based on development of high-value compound products tailored to customers and stable supply capacities.

- 토토 캔 Chemical Titan recorded 543.7 billion KRW in revenue and 111.6 billion KRW in operating losses. Revenue and profitability dropped due to continuing burdens for increased quantities in Southeast Asia as well as slow demand.

- LC USA recorded 149.8 billion KRW in revenue and 7.8 billion KRW in operating profits. As ethane prices stabilized downward, burdens for raw 토토 캔 were eased, thus making a turnaround.

Meanwhile, from Q2, 토토 캔 Energy Materials that was acquired in March of this year was reflected in the consolidated income statement, thus putting the spurs to the portfolio diversification strategy of 토토 캔 Chemical.

토토 캔 Chemical stated, “Difficulties are expected in the second half of the year as well, but we will continue our efforts in optimizing operations and our portfolio to improve profitability, while also constructing a new business model by speedily executing future businesses such as the battery materials business, hydrogen energy, and recycling business to achieve our 2030 vision.”
