SEOUL, South Korea , Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Coway Co., Ltd., the "Best Life Solution Company," announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2026.
Coway Financial Results (2Q 2026)
"In the second quarter, we demonstrated strong growth potential thanks to steady increases in our sales volume and expansion across our rental accounts both domestically and globally," said Soontae Kim, Coway's Chief Financial Officer. "In the second half of this year, we will continue to sustain this upward momentum through focus on solidifying our leadership in the premium appliance market and accelerating our growth engines via product portfolio diversification."
Coway's reported earnings for the second quarter are as follows:
Second quarter revenue: KRW 1,442.2 billion (+14.6% YoY)
Second quarter operating profit: KRW 253.2 billion (+4.3% YoY) * The reported figures are taken from the consolidated K-IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) statement.
For H1 of this year, Coway has also achieved a cumulative revenue of KRW 2,771.9 billion (+13.9% YoY), as well as an operating profit of KRW 504.1 billion (+11.1% YoY).
Coway reported a second-quarter domestic market revenue of KRW 786.8 billion, up 7.7% year-over-year. This growth was fueled by strong sales across the company's ice-making water purifier lineups as well as the mattresses and massage chairs under BEREX, the company's sleep and wellness brand. This quarter, BEREX has successfully been able to expand its foothold in the domestic sleep-tech market with such innovative new products as the 'BEREX R Series Stretching Motion Bed' and the 'BEREX M Series Massage Bed.' Furthermore, the expansion of Coway's rental portfolio into new categories – including wall-mounted air conditioners, food waste disposers and home medical devices – resulted in a positive uptick in consumer demand. Consequently, domestic net rental account additions in the second quarter surged by 51.6% year-over-year to 242,000.
Coway's overseas subsidiaries also delivered robust second-quarter performances, generating an impressive total revenue of KRW 587.5 billion, marking a 24.2% increase year-over-year. Subsidiaries around the world demonstrated balanced sales growth across all product categories in the second quarter:
Malaysia subsidiary Q2 revenue: KRW 434.5 billion (+22.2% YoY)
