Naver Posts Record 2025 Revenue of 12.03 Trillion Won as Net Profit Falls 5.8% to 1.82 Trillion Won
Naver Corp. (Naver) has published its regulatory filing and corporate press release for the fourth quarter and the full year of 2025: annual revenue rose 12.1% to a record 12.03 trillion won and operating profit grew 11.6% to 2.2 trillion won, while net profit for the year declined 5.8% to 1.82 trillion won (about US$1.2 billion). In the fourth quarter, operating profit rose 12.7% on strong demand and revenue increased 10.7% to 3.19 trillion won, so the company closed the year with record annual revenue despite the lower net profit.
Full-year 2025: record revenue alongside a lower net profit
SEONGNAM, South Korea, February 6, 2026 — Naver Corp. (Naver) has reported its results for the full year of 2025 in a regulatory filing, and the company's press release on the same results is published on its corporate website at https://www.navercorp.com/. The company posted its highest annual revenue to date, while net profit for the year moved lower against 2024.
The key reported figures for the full year of 2025 are as follows:
- revenue — 12.03 trillion won, up 12.1% year on year, a record annual figure;
- operating profit — 2.2 trillion won, up 11.6% year on year;
- net profit — 1.82 trillion won (about US$1.2 billion), down 5.8% year on year.
Record annual revenue and double-digit operating profit growth together with a lower net profit define the 2025 reporting picture: the top line and the operating performance of the business improved over the year, while the bottom line declined against the previous year.
The company's own release confirms the growth rates
In its press release, Naver Corp. presents the same direction of travel for the full year of 2025: revenue up 12.1% and operating profit of 2.2 trillion won, up 11.6%. The release and the regulatory filing therefore agree on the growth rates of the two headline performance lines, with the filing adding the net profit figure of 1.82 trillion won, down 5.8%.
Fourth quarter of 2025: operating profit up 12.7%
For the fourth quarter of 2025, the company reported operating profit growth of 12.7% year on year, attributed to strong demand, and revenue of 3.19 trillion won, up 10.7% year on year. The quarterly figures are as follows:
- operating profit — up 12.7% year on year, on strong demand;
- revenue — 3.19 trillion won, up 10.7% year on year.
The fourth-quarter result shows that the momentum behind the record annual revenue continued into the final quarter of 2025, with both operating profit and sales ahead of the same period a year earlier.
Record annual revenue despite the decline in net profit
The 12.1% increase lifted annual revenue to a record 12.03 trillion won, and operating profit of 2.2 trillion won, up 11.6%, together with the 12.7% fourth-quarter operating profit growth, kept the operating side of the business in expansion through the end of the year. At the same time, net profit for the full year fell 5.8% to 1.82 trillion won (about US$1.2 billion), so the 2025 results combine a record top line with a lower bottom line than in 2024.
Taken together, the filing and the corporate release describe a company whose sales and operating profit set the pace of the year, while the annual net profit line moved in the opposite direction — the combination that frames Naver Corp.'s full-year 2025 corporate update.
