Samsung Electronics’ Foundry Business said that, if the special management performance bonus is reflected, a return to profitability in2027year could become difficult. This announcement is a key fact related to investment decisions and financial forecasts, as it could affect the timing of estimates for the DS Division’s performance.
Han Jin-man, head of the Foundry Business, said at a briefing on the foundry’s management status that a return to profitability in2027year was expected under the existing performance bonus system. He added that losses could continue if the newly signed special management performance bonus was reflected.
The company said that the profitability of the foundry business itself is improving. However, it identified the increased labor-cost burden resulting from bonus payments as a new variable.
Samsung and the labor union agreed to introduce a special management performance bonus system funded by 10.5% of the DS division’s operating profit. The business division said the agreement was reached last month.
Foundry refers to the semiconductor contract manufacturing business. Foundry performance trends vary depending on semiconductor demand and customer shipment schedules.
The briefing simultaneously disclosed the foundry’s improving profitability trend and changes in its labor cost structure. The business division reaffirmed that the inclusion of performance bonuses could act as a variable in earnings estimates.
