A 20% drop in consolidated net income attributable to owners—to KRW 2,760 billion from KRW 3,465 billion a year earlier—underscores a challenging first half for KEPCO. The second quarter proved especially tough: consolidated net income came in at just KRW 267 billion, compared with KRW 1,137 billion in Q2 2025, while the separate parent swung to a net loss of KRW 361 billion. Behind the deterioration were lower operating income and higher non-operating costs during the April–June period. Although the company had previously flagged the August 12 release date, the severity of the Q2 miss and the full H1 decline represent material new information for investors.
