APR Reports Record H1 2026 Revenue and Unmatched Quarterly Achievements
APR Co., Ltd., a prominent player in the global beauty industry, recently disclosed its preliminary financial results for the second quarter of 2026, showcasing historical growth figures and quarterly achievements. The company reported consolidated revenue amounting to KRW 767.5 billion, demonstrating a staggering growth of 134.2% compared to the previous year. Additionally, operating profit reached KRW 190.6 billion, reflecting a 135% year-over-year increase and resulting in an impressive operating profit margin of 24.8%.
In total, APR's cumulative revenue for the first half of 2026 soared to KRW 1.36 trillion, nearly equivalent to its entire revenue for the fiscal year of 2025, accomplished within just six months. This remarkable growth is primarily attributed to the Cosmetics Division, where a record quarterly revenue of KRW 648.3 billion was generated, marking a 185.5% increase year-on-year. The strong demand for core product lines and the successful launch of new offerings significantly influenced these results.
A noteworthy highlight from APR's performance is the dramatic increase in overseas revenue, which surged by 178% year-on-year, exceeding KRW 700 billion and accounting for 92% of the company's total second-quarter revenue. The combined sales from North American and European markets represented 68% of total overseas revenue, a significant rise from 40% recorded in the same period last year. Europe was reported as a standalone segment for the first time this quarter, indicating its critical role in APR's growth trajectory.
In North America, revenues skyrocketed by an impressive 264.6% year-on-year, reaching KRW 376.3 billion. This remarkable growth was driven by the continued expansion of online sales and the company's increasing presence in major retail stores like Target and Walmart. APR has announced plans to further amplify its market presence by launching its products in Costco during the latter half of 2026.
The European market also showcased robust growth, with revenues increasing by 380.3% year-on-year to KRW 145.1 billion. This success is largely attributed to strong e-commerce performance across key nations, including the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. With Europe now recognized as a pivotal growth engine for APR, the company maintains a strategic focus on market expansion in this region.
Meanwhile, in Asia, stable demand resulted in revenue growth of 14.5%, totaling KRW 121.1 billion, while revenues from other regions soared by 325% year-on-year to reach KRW 61.7 billion.
