Caregen Reports Fourth Quarter and FY2020 Results
Peptide bio company Caregen (CEO YJ Chung) announced its tentative results
for the fourth quarter of 2020 and annual consolidated results on the 10th.
Despite the impact of the Corona 19 pandemic, it recorded solid sales growth
and high margins.
Consolidated revenue in the fourth quarter increased 19% QoQ to KRW 17.5
billion, and consolidated operating profit increased 19% QoQ to KRW 9.5
billion. Net income was KRW 10.7 billion, up 65% QoQ due to a decrease in
corporate tax.
Annual revenue for the 2020 fiscal year were 60.3 billion won, down -7%
from the previous year, which is a base effect as the four-year carry-over
revenues due to accounting re-audit are reflected in 2019. The actual revenue
growth rate, which eliminated carryover revenues, reached 19% thanks to the
rapid global growth of hair fillers. The annual operating profit was 32 billion
won and the annual net income was 31.4 billion won, with the operating profit
margin and net profit margin of 53% and 52%, respectively.
YJ Chung, CEO of Caregen, said, "It was a year that achieved
meaningful growth by focusing on the development of antiviral products in the
midst of the Corona 19 crisis, while maintaining high profitability thanks to
the strong existing business." We will continue to challenge ourselves to
expand the platform based on peptide technology through research and
development of health functional foods and pharmaceuticals, and grow together
with our customers and partners.”
