Operating profit stood at KRW 3.6 trillion for the April–June period, down 15.8 percent from a year earlier, with an operating profit margin of 7.5 percent. Higher incentives amid intensifying industry competition, as well as the impact of the global trade environment, weighed on the operating profit.

Hyundai Motor sold 1,065,836 units globally during the April–June period, a 0.8 percent increase compared with the same period last year.
