Despite the losses, the company’s revenue rose 13.9% year-on-year to 1.0876 trillion won from 954.9 billion won the previous year.

Of total revenue, 64.8% came from domestic commercial building construction projects, while residential construction accounted for 30.2%. Civil engineering and rental businesses contributed 4.2% and 0.8% of revenue, respectively.

Net loss for the year totaled 296.6 billion won, an increase of 119.5 billion won compared with the previous year’s loss of 177.1 billion won.

As of the end of last year, four teams, including the sales team, were responsible for securing new projects. By client type, orders were divided into private-sector projects, group-affiliated projects and public-sector projects, accounting for 45%, 41% and 14% of revenue, respectively.
