SEOUL, South Korea, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Coway Co., Ltd., the "Best Life Solution Company," has today reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2026.

"Driven by strong demand for our leading products and the successful launches of our latest offerings, we achieved solid growth in the first quarter," said Soontae Kim, Coway's Chief Financial Officer. "Building on this balanced performance across both our domestic and global markets, we will continue to sustain profitable growth through innovative product launches and enhanced marketing strategies going forward in 2026."

Coway's reported earnings are as follows:

- First quarter revenue: KRW 1,329.7 billion (+13.2% YoY)

- First quarter operating profit: KRW 250.9 billion (+18.8% YoY)

In the domestic market, Coway reported a revenue of KRW 742.8 billion, up 9.5% year-over-year. This growth was notably driven by the successful launch of Coway's newest products, including the Icon Ice Water Purifier 3 and the BEREX Pebble Chair 2, as well as the expansion of its product portfolio through the introduction of its new home medical device brand, 'Therasol.' Furthermore, the company's major annual sale promotion "Coway Festa," launched in late February to South Korean consumers, also drove strong demand across a range of product categories. As a result, BEREX bed sales achieved a 30% year-over-year increase, while net rental account additions reached 188,000 in the first quarter, up 81.8% from the same period last year.

Meanwhile, Coway's overseas subsidiaries also delivered strong first-quarter performance, with revenue reaching KRW 537.0 billion, an increase of 20.2% year-over-year.
