Hancom (CEO Kim Yeon-su) reported that its AI sales accounted for over 30% of total revenue. It will accelerate its global business with the AI agent platform 'Agentic Operating System (OS)' and the AI workforce platform 'Nomadian' as its core.
Hancom announced on the 12th that it recorded 483 billion won in revenue and 97 billion won in operating profit on a separate basis for the third quarter.
Revenue increased by 9.6% compared to the same period last year, and the operating profit margin was 20.1%. On a consolidated basis, revenue was 920 billion won and operating profit was 92 billion won.
Revenue from new businesses including AI increased by 67.2% to 309 billion won, accounting for 64.1% of total revenue.
Among these, the proportion of AI sales increased significantly from 13.7% in the first half to 30.7% in the third quarter. AI sales in the third quarter reached 148 billion won, an increase of more than 80% compared to the previous quarter, and cumulative AI sales up to the third quarter amounted to 283 billion won, surpassing three times the annual AI sales of last year (89 billion won).
Hancom cited the influence of more than 200,000 existing customers transitioning to AI-integrated products and an increase in AX cases in the public and industrial sectors as the background. Following the supply of 'Hancom Assistant' to Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power, Hancom also signed a concept verification (PoC) agreement with Namyang U&I for the Agentic OS.
To expand the global reach of 'Nomadian' and the AI agent platform 'Agentic OS', Hancom plans to invest the funds secured through the restructuring of shares in non-core subsidiaries such as Hancom Inspace and ThinkFree.
Agentic OS aims for simultaneous commercialization in the domestic and European markets next year. In Europe, Hancom is preparing local business operations with companies such as 7 Bulls and Algomain in Poland.
Nomadian is positioned as a workforce platform for U.S. small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and individual entrepreneurs, and it is planned to launch a local closed beta test (CBT) in December and then officially launch globally in March next year.
Kim Yeon-su, CEO of Hancom, said, "The third quarter was a quarter in which AI sales exceeded 30%, confirming that AI has become Hancom's growth engine." He added, "We plan to seriously boost overseas AI sales starting with the global launch of Nomadian in March next year."
