KT Skylife announced its fourth-quarter 2025 earnings on the 9th.
On a consolidated basis, annual revenue reached 984.2 billion won, while annual operating profit turned to a 23 billion won surplus. The profit structure stabilized as amortization costs and impairment losses from subsidiary intangible assets declined significantly.
Subscriber growth served as the key driver behind the improved performance. The company's 'ipit TV,' launched in July last year, surpassed 124,000 cumulative retained subscribers within six months, gaining strong market traction. The fourth quarter alone saw a net increase of 71,000 subscribers. As a result, skyTV (satellite + ipit TV) subscriber count achieved a meaningful turnaround by posting net gains.
The telecommunications services segment also showed clear growth momentum. Internet retained subscribers reached 598,000, up approximately 20% year-over-year. Mobile service subscribers also recorded 443,000, continuing a stable growth trajectory.
"2025 was a meaningful year in which we established a foundation for our broadcasting business turnaround through our new product 'ipit TV' and achieved an annual operating profit turnaround on a consolidated basis," said Choi Young-beom, CEO of KT Skylife. "In 2026, we will continue to enhance corporate value through substantive growth."
