Kangwon Energy announced on May 15 that it posted consolidated revenue of KRW 52.2 billion for the first quarter, down 2.6% from a year earlier. The decline partly reflected reduced equipment investment amid a slowdown in the secondary battery market.

However, the company’s secondary battery materials business, led by lithium materials, continued to grow and helped support overall earnings. Revenue from the secondary battery materials segment increased by around 65% year on year in the first quarter, offsetting a significant portion of the decline in equipment sales, according to the company.
