Operating profit reached 83.3338 trillion won, according to the company's preliminary results, also reported by Yonhap. The figures remain subject to completion of independent review.

SK hynix said sales of HBM4 memory and server products had increased. It expects HBM4 to become its main HBM product in the fourth quarter; that remains a forecast.

The company also announced roughly 100 trillion won in shareholder returns for the year through dividends and share buybacks. The programme includes distributing gains realised on its investment in Kioxia.
