Woori Financial Group reported Friday a cumulative net profit of 2.66 trillion won ($2 billion) for the first nine months of 2026. While the figure was down 4.9 percent year-on-year due to one-off gains from insurance acquisitions in 2025, underlying income grew, with profit rising 18.7 percent excluding those gains. Third-quarter net profit fell 15.7 percent from last year's record quarter but reached 1.05 trillion won, marking its second-highest quarterly profit.
