▲ SKT Q2 2023 Business Performance (Unit: KRW 100 million, %, Based on consolidated financial statements)

Temporary impact of competitive response, ARPU drops below 30,000 won

SK Telecom's business performance in the second quarter of 2023 showed a slowdown in growth compared to last year, influenced by factors such as a decline in average revenue per user (ARPU) due to temporary intensification of competition.

SK Telecom announced its second-quarter 2023 business results on the 8th.

According to the disclosed information, based on consolidated financial statements, sales recorded 4.3064 trillion won, an increase of 0.4% compared to the same period last year, and operating profit was 463.4 billion won, an increase of 0.8% compared to the same period last year.

Net profit was 347.8 billion won, up 34.8% from the same period last year.

SKT recorded revenue of 3.1192 trillion won, operating profit of 379.1 billion won, and net profit of 272.8 billion won in the second quarter of 2023 based on separate financial statements.

SK Broadband (SKB) recorded sales of 1.0683 trillion won, up 3.4% from the same period last year. Operating profit was 82.7 billion won, up 5.8% from the same period last year.

Regarding these results, SKT stated that while revenue growth slowed slightly due to a temporary response to competition, the overall trend of cost stabilization remains valid.

Due to factors such as competition, the average revenue per user (ARPU) for mobile lines in the second quarter fell to 29,920 won, dropping below 30,000 won.

Net profit increased by approximately 35% compared to the same period last year, which was attributed to the impact of forward transaction gains from the investment in Joby.

SKT has invested $100 million in Joby Aviation, which possesses unrivaled technological capabilities for UAM aircraft, and is establishing a cooperative relationship to secure UAM business rights and commercialize them.

5G subscribers number 14.7 million, accounting for 63% of the total, and are continuing to grow.

Enterprise revenue was 407.1 billion won, up 9.2% year-on-year, and data center revenue was 49.4 billion won, up 33.2% year-on-year.

Cloud revenue was 39.8 billion won, up 67.7% from the same period last year.

SKT has decided on a second-quarter dividend of 830 won per share and plans to carry out a 300 billion won share buyback and a 200 billion won cancellation.
