SK Ecoplant has reported a significant increase in its consolidated operating profit for the second quarter of this year, driven by the expansion of its AI data center and semiconductor infrastructure businesses.
On August 14, SK Ecoplant announced that its consolidated operating profit for Q2 reached 5.336 trillion won, a 266% increase compared to the same period last year. During the same timeframe, revenue rose by 68% to 51.507 trillion won.
On a standalone basis, the company recorded a pre-tax loss of 2.195 trillion won in Q2. However, it attributed its strong consolidated performance to the expansion of AI infrastructure projects and improvements in subsidiary performance.

Additionally, SK Ecoplant announced on August 13 that it has restructured its organization to establish a new AI data center business unit.
