Hancom With超计划增持Hancom至31.20%

Hancom With, the de facto holding company of Hancom Group, has acquired 25% more Hancom shares than initially planned.
Hancom With purchased 1,081,666 common shares of Hancom on the open market between the 4th of last month and the 3rd of this month, the company said on the 10th. The shares represent a 4.47% stake in Hancom, with about 20.6 billion won invested.
The scale exceeds the acquisition plan disclosed in April. Hancom With had initially planned to buy 792,000 shares for about 16.5 billion won, but the actual purchase was about 37% larger in number of shares and about 25% larger in amount. As a result, Hancom With's sole stake rose from 26.73% to 31.20%. The largest shareholder's stake, including related parties, reached 40.15%.
The company explained that it increased the scale of purchases out of confidence in Hancom's future growth. Hancom has unveiled a blueprint to transform into a sovereign agentic operating system (OS) company and is expanding its artificial intelligence (AI) businesses. Of last year's separate revenue of 175.3 billion won, AI package revenue accounted for about 8.9 billion won, or 5% of total revenue. This year, the share of AI revenue has grown further. First-quarter separate revenue reached 46.5 billion won, the highest ever for a quarter, and AI revenue was 5.2 billion won, with its share jumping from 0.04% a year earlier to 11.21%.
Hancom has advanced its technology to extract and structure unstructured data, converting scattered documents into forms that AI can understand, and further to weave relationships between data to handle meaning and context. Hancom plans to develop products with a sovereign model that adds security to this, targeting companies in the public, defense and financial sectors. It plans to complete development of a beta version of its agentic OS in the second half of this year and commercialize it next year.
"Regardless of market conditions, as the largest shareholder we have steadily increased our Hancom stake to build responsible management and a stable governance structure," said Song Sang-yeop, CEO of Hancom With. "This share purchase is a decision that stems from confidence in Hancom's strong technological moat and global growth path."
Meanwhile, Hancom With posted record results last year with consolidated revenue of 771.2 billion won, operating profit of 6.1 billion won and net profit of 9.4 billion won. Compared with the previous year, revenue rose 72% and operating profit surged 376%. Going forward, if Hancom is incorporated as a consolidated subsidiary for accounting purposes, Hancom's consolidated revenue of 326.7 billion won will be added, elevating the group to over 1 trillion won in revenue on a simple combined basis.
