KT Corporation, South Korea's second-largest mobile carrier, reported robust financial performance for the second quarter of 2025, with significant growth in revenue and operating profit. The company's core telecommunication business drove the results, with a notable increase in 5G subscribers and revenue from high-speed internet services.

KT's operating profit for the period exceeded 1 trillion won ($720 million), marking the highest quarterly operating profit in the company's history. Revenue climbed 13.5% to 7.43 trillion won, while net profit surged 78.6% to 733.3 billion won. The company attributed the strong performance to subscriber growth following a cyberattack suffered by rival SK Telecom, as well as gains from a major property development project.

KT's fixed-line business revenue increased 1.4%, with high-speed internet subscribers reaching 10 million in May, driving a 2.1% boost in related sales. The company's subsidiaries, including KT Estate and KT Cloud, also contributed to the strong financial performance. KT Estate saw revenue grow 2% on-year on stronger demand for offices and hotels, while KT Cloud posted a 23% revenue increase.

The company announced its intention to transform into an AICT (Artificial Intelligence and Communication Technology) company, aiming for sustainable growth and value enhancement. As part of this transformation, KT has initiated a share buyback program worth KRW 250 billion. The dividend for the second quarter was set at KRW 3,250 per share.
