HYBE reports its highest quarterly revenue and operating profit for the third quarter, attributing the surge to the ongoing BTS world tour. In a regulatory filing, the company says preliminary revenue for July–September rises 109.8% year-on-year to 1.53 trillion won on a consolidated basis. Operating profit turns positive at 188.5 billion won, reversing an operating loss of 42.2 billion won a year earlier, while net profit returns to the black at 11.3 billion won.
The company also says the figures are its all-time quarterly highs, surpassing prior records set in the second quarter when BTS began its “Arirang” world tour. Variety adds closely aligned dollar conversions for the same results, describing the quarter as the top performance in HYBE’s history. Multiple outlets frame the results as a continuation of BTS tour-driven momentum.
While the core numbers and explanation match across reports, the outlets vary in emphasis: some foreground the scale and milestone of becoming the first K-pop agency to exceed 4 trillion won in annual revenue, while others focus more tightly on the quarter’s record-setting figures and year-on-year swing. One source includes detail that concert sales led the growth, a point not fully expanded in the others’ provided summaries.
