Business overview as filed

당사는 여객사업, 화물사업, 항공우주사업을 주요 사업으로 영위하고 있습니다. 2025년은 미ㆍ중 무역 갈등에 따른 관세 리스크 고조와 중동ㆍ유럽 내 지정학적 분쟁 장기화 등 글로벌 경영 환경의 불확실성이 그 어느 때보다 높았던 해였습니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 대한항공은 리스크 관리와 탄력적인 노선 운영을 통해 위기를 기회로 전환하며 사업의 안정성을 공고히 하였습니다. 여객 사업은 단거리 노선의 수요 회복과 미주ㆍ유럽 등 주력 노선의 안정적인 운영을 통해 역대 최대 매출을 기록하며 견고한 성장세를 증명하였습니다. 화물 사업은 글로벌 공급망 재편과 무역 환경의 변화 속에서도 전자상거래(C-Commerce) 물량의 전략적 유치와 신선화물, 의약품, 배터리 등 고부가가치 품목의 수송 비중을 확대하여 안정적인 수익성을 유지하였습니다. 그 결과 2025년 영업수익은 별도기준 전년대비 2.4% 증가한 16조 5,019억원을 기록하였으며, 영업이익은 전년대비 3,641억원 감소한 1조 5,393억원의 흑자를 시현하였습니다.여객사업은 절대 안전과 고객 중심 서비스 제공을 최우선 가치로 국내 및 국제선 여객의 운송을 통해 수익을 창출하고 있습니다. 창사이래 대한항공의 여객사업은 국내 기업인의 해외 진출을 지원하고, 민간 교류 활성화 기반을 제공하는 등 국가 경쟁력 제고에 기여하고 있습니다. 여객사업은 2025년말 기준, 총 142대의 여객기를 보유하고 국내 10개 도시와 해외 33개국 96개 도시에 취항하고 있습니다. 또한 대내외 불확실성을 효과적으로 관리하고 성장동력을 지속 발굴함으로써 경쟁력을 강화해 나가고 있습니다. 2025년 연간 누계 기준 여객 노선수익 98,447억원 중 국제선 수익은 93,744억원으로 95.2%를 차지하였으며, 국내선 수익은 4,703억원으로 4.8%를 차지하였습니다.화물사업은 화물기 및 여객기 하단 Belly 공간에 화물을 탑재ㆍ수송하여 수익을 창출하는 사업입니다. 화물사업은 2025년말 기준, 국내외 26개국 45개 도시에 화물기 23대를 운항하고 있으며, 반도체/자동차/배터리 부품 등의 산업 기반 수요, IT/전자제품, 전자상거래, 의류 등의 소비재 수요, 신선화물, 의약품, 생동물 등의 특수화물까지 다양한 품목의 항공화물을 수송하고 있습니다. 전자상거래 및 AI(Artificial Intelligence) 연관 산업이 지속 성장하며 항공화물 수요를 견인하고 있으나, 국가간 관세 갈등 및 보호무역주의 확대, 지정학적 불안 지속, 글로벌 경기 둔화 환경 등에 따라 수요의 변동성이 지속될 전망입니다. 2025년 연간 누계 기준 화물 노선수익은 4조 4,093억원으로 전년 동기 대비 0.1% 감소하였습니다.항공우주사업본부는 군용기 MRO/U, 항공기체와 무인기의 개발 및 제조 사업을 수행하고 있습니다. 군용기사업 부문에서는 지난 40여 년간 국군과 주한미군의 항공기 창정비 및 개조/성능개량 작업을 성공적으로 수행해왔습니다. 항공기체사업 부문에서는 보잉과 에어버스 항공기의 날개와 동체의 주요 구조물을 설계, 제작, 납품하고 있습니다. 무인기사업 부문에서는 소형 드론부터 대형 정찰 무인기, 무인협동전투기에 이르기까지 다양한 플랫폼을 개발 및 생산하고 있으며, 현재 대형무인기의 양산을 주력사업으로 진행 중입니다. 또한 지속적 성장을 위한 해외 수출도 적극 추진하고 있습니다.

VaR

3.73%
[2.57%, 5.78%] · As of 2026-10-02
VaR by window

The headline's measure for each of the three windows on one scale, the dot being the estimate and the bar its interval. The windows are nested and share their observations, so the three readings are not three independent measurements. The selected window is highlighted.

Daily return distribution

The issue's daily returns over the chosen window counted into equal-width bins. The vertical lines mark the VaR and cVaR above on the loss side. The published VaR sample applies exclusion rules for halts and first sessions that this raw daily series does not, so the bars and the marks can differ slightly at the edges.

Drawdown

Deepest drawdown 22.6% (2026-03-09). How far below its previous peak the issue stood each day over the chosen window, a description of the path already travelled.

A 252-day window rolled one day at a time over the longest daily span of the characteristic line. It shows when the beta against the KOSPI200 and the annualized volatility of the issue's excess return rose and fell, and unlike the headline figures above it carries no interval.

252-day rolling annualized volatility

Each point is one period's index excess return and issue excess return, and the line is the regression fitted to those points. The risk-free rate is the certificate of deposit rate.

This diagram traces where revenue goes at each step on its way to net income, using the filed amounts as they are. The non-operating result is taken as the difference between profit before tax and operating income and is shown as income or expense by its sign, and whatever a step's items leave unexplained is shown separately as other.

The left bar splits assets into current and non-current and the right bar splits the financing of those assets into liabilities and equity, so the two bars stand at the same height.

Quarterly resultsKRW 100M

Year-on-year growth%

Each quarterly bar is that quarter's three months and is never mixed with an annual figure. The growth rate is computed only where the same quarter a year earlier is also shown here, and is left blank when the base was a loss.

Cash conversion cycledays

Free cash flow breakdownKRW 100M

Inventory days and receivable days stack upward, payable days hang downward, and the cash conversion cycle they net to is drawn as the line. Each day count uses the average balance with the prior year, so the oldest year is not drawn. A day count whose line was not filed is left out, and the cycle is shown only for years that carry all three.

Free cash flow is cash from operating activities less spending on property, plant and equipment, and all three bars keep the sign as filed.

ROE is the product of the owners' net margin, asset turnover and financial leverage. All three use period-end balances as denominators, and profit and equity are on the owners' basis, so the product matches the ROE in the table.

The auditor's name and the opinion are transcribed verbatim from the filed audit report, and the wording follows the filer. A fiscal year shown twice means the filing carried two entries that the source does not distinguish.

Korean audit opinions come in four kinds, where an unqualified opinion (적정) finds the statements fairly presented, a qualified opinion (한정) does so except for a stated matter, an adverse opinion (부적정) finds them not fairly presented, and a disclaimer of opinion (의견거절) means the auditor could not obtain enough evidence to form a view.

Valuation

Valuation multiplesx

PER and PBR divide each period's closing price by the per-share figure filed for that same period, and a loss period is left blank. The quarterly view is a multiple of quarterly EPS.

Dividend historyKRW

The dividend-per-share bars are restated onto the current share basis for splits and par-value changes. The payout ratio and the dividend yield divide figures filed for the same period and are left unadjusted.

Payout ratio and dividend yield%

PER bandKRW

The price is the adjusted close and each band line multiplies the EPS of the latest completed fiscal year by a fixed multiple. The previous year's EPS stays in force until the next fiscal year ends, and the multiples divide the range between the lowest and highest annual PER on record into equal steps.

Each fiscal year's figures use that year's accounts and the treasury yield at its period end, with beta held at its current value, and splits or par changes are restated to the current share basis.

How the figures are calculated

Each model's formula is shown in symbols and then with this issue's own numbers substituted, step by step. Changing a value in the assumptions panel changes the numbers here too. Firm-level amounts are in hundred million won and per-share values in won.

Cost of equity

r=rf+β×ERPr = r_f + \beta \times \mathit{ERP}

r = 4.40% + 0.50 × 5.00% = 6.91%

Initial growth

g1=max⁡{ROE×(1−payout), 0},gt=g1+(gT−g1) t−1N−1g_1 = \max\{\mathit{ROE} \times (1 - \text{payout}),\,0\},\qquad g_t = g_1 + (g_T - g_1)\,\frac{t-1}{N-1}

g_1 = max(7.12% × (1 − 0.00%), 0) = 7.12%

Growth starts at this value in the first year and falls by equal steps each year to reach the terminal rate in the fifth

Residual income model RIM

The cost of equity is the risk-free rate plus beta times the equity risk premium. Initial growth is the newest fiscal year's return on equity times its retention ratio, floored at zero, and falls by equal steps from that value in the first year to the terminal rate in the fifth. Only the Gordon model grows at the terminal rate from the start. Discounted cash flow starts from operating cash flow less capital expenditure, where FCFF adds after-tax interest paid and discounts at the weighted average cost of capital, and FCFE adds net borrowing and discounts at the cost of equity. The residual income model adds to book value per share the present value of earnings above the equity charge.
