The earnings call highlighted significant growth in SK Telecom's AI business and strategic initiatives in AI infrastructure, which are positive indicators for future revenue streams. However, the session was overshadowed by the adverse financial impact of a major cybersecurity incident, resulting in subscriber losses and substantial one-off expenses. The revision of the annual revenue guidance to a lower figure further emphasizes the challenges faced in the telecom segment.

Company Guidance

During the earnings call for SK Telecom's second quarter of fiscal year 2025, key financial metrics highlighted included a consolidated revenue of KRW 4,338.8 billion, representing a 1.9% year-on-year decline. Operating income was reported at KRW 338.3 billion, down 37.1% year-on-year, while net income fell significantly by 76.2% to KRW 83.2 billion. The company outlined its strategic response to a recent cybersecurity incident, which included a KRW 700 billion investment over five years to enhance information protection. The incident also affected SK Telecom's subscriber base, with a decline of 750,000 MNO handset subscribers by the end of June and a 220,000 quarter-on-quarter drop in 5G subscribers. Despite these challenges, the AI business showed promise with a 13.9% year-on-year revenue increase, and plans for a new AI data center in Ulsan were announced. The board resolved a second quarter dividend per share of KRW 831, maintaining the previous quarter's payout.

AI Business Growth

AI business revenue grew 13.9% year-on-year, partially offsetting the drop in telecom revenue. AIDC revenue posted KRW 108.7 billion, up 13.3% year-on-year, and AIX revenue grew 15.3% year-over-year to KRW 46.8 billion.

Hyperscale AI Data Center Initiative

SK Telecom announced a plan to establish a hyperscale AI data center with AWS and SK Group affiliates, aiming to secure a hub for AI Infrastructure Superhighway. The Ulsan AIDC is expected to start operations in 2027.

Dividend Policy

The Board of Directors resolved to set the second quarter DPS at KRW 831 with the record date of August 31, maintaining the payout level from the prior quarter.

Government AI Projects

SK Telecom was selected as a key player in the national AI model development by the government, participating in projects to develop sovereign AI foundation models.
