APR posts record earnings in Q2

APR has posted record-breaking results for both the second quarter and the first half of 2025, reaffirming its rapid growth in the global beauty industry, industry officials said Thursday. According to APR's preliminary earnings results, its consolidated revenue and operating profit in the second quarter of 2025 reached 327.7 billion won ($237.2 million) and 84.6 billion won, respectively. Despite the second quarter typically being a slower season for the industry, these figures represent year-on-year increases of 111 percent and 202 percent, respectively. The company's stellar performance was driven by its cosmetics and beauty division, fueled by continued global demand for K-beauty products. The division recorded 227 billion won in revenue during the second quarter, tripling its figure from the same period last year. Overseas sales played a central role, accounting for 78 percent of total revenue. The U.S. emerged as APR’s largest market, outpacing even domestic revenue. Japan posted a staggering 366 percent year-on-year increase, while Europe saw a steady rise in order volume.
