Recorded revenue of 614.2B KRW, operating profit of 134.4B KRW, and net profit of 183.4B KRW, reflecting solid profitability amid favorable shipping market conditions

Large-scale internal transactions with affiliates: goods/services sales 250.5B KRW, borrowings 674.9B KRW, securities transactions 327.9B KRW, indicating high intra-group interdependence
Several SM Group affiliates (SM Barocosa Kyungin/Busan, KRT Industrial, Koniss, Shinhwa D&D, STX Construction W, Woobang Togeon) are in capital impairment status, posing financial risk
Affiliate changes during the year: 6 companies removed (including H&N IX stake sale, SM Holdings and STX Construction mergers), 0 new additions
[AI Summary]This filing is a routine correction of minor errors in the conglomerate disclosure, confirming KOREA LINE's existing financial stability and internal transaction patterns with no direct impact on stock price. However, the capital impairment of multiple group affiliates and heavy reliance on internal transactions warrant long-term monitoring as potential investment risks.
