Samsung Electro-Mechanics and Samsung C&T both posted increases in revenue and operating profit for the third quarter, according to the companies' quarterly results, which have been assessed as accurate in a prior claim review.
Samsung Electro-Mechanics reported growth in both revenue and operating profit for the third quarter, in line with the claim that the affiliate's quarterly performance rose across both measures. The company, a key Samsung Group component maker supplying products used in electronics and semiconductor-related applications, saw its quarterly earnings move up on both the top and bottom lines.
The claim, originally circulated in Korean as "삼성전기·삼성물산 3분기 매출도 영업이익도 '쑥'" — meaning both Samsung Electro-Mechanics' and Samsung C&T's third-quarter revenue and operating profit "jumped" — captured this dual increase in the two companies' quarterly figures.
Samsung C&T, the group's trading and construction arm, likewise recorded higher revenue and operating profit in the third quarter. The dual increase at the trading house mirrors the pattern seen at Samsung Electro-Mechanics, meaning both affiliates improved on revenue and profitability simultaneously in the quarter.
The review of the claim drew on eight primary sources, including the companies' quarterly disclosures, and found no discrepancies between the claim and the reported figures.
The two affiliates' earnings coincide with the broader Samsung Group's third-quarter reporting cycle, in which Samsung Electronics and other group companies typically announce results over the same period. The rises in revenue and operating profit at both Samsung Electro-Mechanics and Samsung C&T placed the two affiliates among the group units posting gains for the quarter.
The claim did not specify the size of the increases beyond the direction of change, and this article accordingly does not attribute specific figures to either company beyond what the claim and review establish.
Both Samsung Electro-Mechanics and Samsung C&T posted increases in revenue and operating profit for the third quarter, matching the claim. On that basis, the claim is True.
Verdict: True
