DSME swings to black in 2020
Published: 10 Mar. 2021, 18:51
Major shipyard Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) said Wednesday that it shifted to the black last year on a one-off factor.
Net income stood at 86.6 billion won ($75.9 million) last year, swinging from a net loss of 46.5 billion won in 2019, DSME said.
"The company saw its earnings return to a net profit last year as allowances for a lawsuit against the company's accounting fraud were reflected in the financial statement," a DSME spokesman said.
Sales amounted to 7.03 trillion won last year, down 16 percent from 8.36 trillion won a year earlier, while operating profit fell 47.6 percent to 153 billion won.
DSME expected to see a rise in global shipbuilding orders this year, citing growing new orders for container carriers in recent months.
The shipbuilder set its annual new order target for 2021 at $7.7 billion.
