Stellantis Korea announced its financial statements for 2025 and released a report card that calls for external growth and strengthening financial soundness.

Operating Profit Slightly Declines Despite Increased Sales

Stellantis Korea's sales reached about 195.9 billion won in 2025, up slightly from a year earlier, according to the data disclosed in the filing. On the other hand, operating profit, an internal indicator, was about 4.8 billion won, down about 7.5% from the previous year. As a result, the operating profit ratio recorded 2.46%, showing a slight decline, which is attributed to marketing expenditures and rising operating costs due to intensifying market competition.

Net income surged 41%... Profitability Defense Successful

Despite the decline in operating profit, net profit, the final profitability indicator, improved significantly. Net profit in 2025 was about 5.9 billion won, a 41% jump from the previous year (about 4.2 billion won). This means that the actual profit in hand has rather increased through the generation of non-operating profits or efficient cost control.

Financial health 'green light' with 20 billion less debt

The most noticeable part of this settlement is the decrease in debt. The debt total, which stood at about 143.2 billion won in 2024, shrank by nearly 20 billion won, or 14 percent, to about 123.2 billion won as of the end of 2025. As the total capital increased to about 80 billion won while reducing debt, the overall financial stability of companies has been greatly strengthened.

"We are fortunate to have improved financial health, but we are working on a lot of efforts with dealerships to further increase sales volume," Bang Bang-sil told this newspaper. In addition, he added, "We will strive to further promote the overwhelming brand identity of Peugeot and Jeep brands."
