Hanon Systems aims for 11 trillion won in sales and a 5% operating margin in 2025, focusing on sales growth and profitability through new business expansion and aftermarket growth. CEO Lee Soo-il outlined these goals in a New Year address, emphasizing the completion of efficiency improvements from last year and executing long-term strategies.

The company achieved 10 trillion won in sales last year, marking its first annual sales milestone. To reach the new target, Hanon will enhance its cost structure and operational efficiency. Following a rights offering, the debt-to-equity ratio is expected to improve from 246% to about 164%.

The company has restructured its R&D and created a software organization to bolster capabilities for various powertrains, including electric vehicles. Additionally, Hanon is exploring opportunities in AI-related businesses such as data center cooling and energy storage solutions.
