Hyundai Motor Company announced its business results for the second quarter of 2025, highlighting a record-breaking quarterly revenue but facing challenges in profit margins amid a competitive global market.

For the April to June period, Hyundai posted revenue of KRW 48.29 trillion, marking a 7.3 percent increase year on year and setting a new company record for quarterly revenue. However, operating profit declined by 15.8 percent to KRW 3.6 trillion, with the operating profit margin falling to 7.5 percent. This dip was attributed to rising incentives amid intensifying industry competition and ongoing global trade uncertainties. Net profit also decreased by 22.1 percent to KRW 3.25 trillion, reflecting a cautious business environment.

In terms of sales volume, Hyundai sold 1,065,836 vehicles worldwide in Q2 2025, up slightly by 0.8 percent compared to the same quarter last year. Domestic sales in South Korea grew by 1.5 percent to 188,540 units, fueled by successful launches of new models such as the PALISADE and IONIQ 9 SUVs. Overseas markets contributed 877,296 units, a 0.7 percent increase, with North America showing particularly strong demand through a 3.3 percent rise. Key models driving sales growth included the TUCSON and SANTA FE SUVs, alongside the ELANTRA sedan (also known as Avante in certain markets).

Electrified vehicle sales experienced significant growth, surging 36.4 percent year on year to 262,126 units. Hybrid models led this charge with record sales of 168,703 units, a 38.5 percent increase, while electric vehicle sales also rose notably, especially in Europe.

Reflecting its confidence, Hyundai declared a quarterly dividend of KRW 2,500 per share, maintaining its policy of distributing at least 25 percent of consolidated net profit attributable to controlling interests.

Looking ahead, Hyundai Motor remains cautious yet optimistic. The company plans to continue monitoring its profitability guidance and adapt flexibly to shifting global market dynamics. Despite ongoing uncertainties in trade environments and emerging markets, Hyundai is committed to sustaining growth momentum and reinforcing long-term competitiveness through strategic responses to market conditions.
