As a result, with enhanced cost competitiveness the Company’s quarterly operating profit exceeded 4 milliards de won. Notamment, SK hynix’s NAND Flash business has finally turned to a surplus in the third quarter.
Kevin (Jongwon) Noh, Executive Vice President and Head of Corporate Center (CFO) at SK hynix, mentionné, “Despite the concerns over recent global supply chain disruptions, the remarkable quarterly performance signals that the semiconductor memory industry is continuing its growth momentum.”
SK hynix forecasts market demand for semiconductor memory will grow consistently, and will react flexibly to market condition changes and focus on securing profitability.
At the same time, SK hynix expects to enhance the competitiveness of its NAND Flash business, which has recently turned to a surplus, with the completion of Intel NAND and SSD business acquisition until the end of this year.
