The casino operator’s accumulated net loss for the first half of this year was KRW18.77 billion, which was 66.2 percent smaller than the 2021 first half-net loss, at KRW55.49 billion.
In the second quarter, Grand Korea Leisure recorded an operating loss of KRW10.71 billion, also narrowed from the operating loss of KRW13.23 billion in the previous quarter and the KRW25.90-billion operating loss in the prior-year period.
The firm generated KRW48.07 billion in sales in the second quarter, up 2.6 percent from the previous quarter.
