[Alpha Biz= Paul Lee] Global travel tech company Yanolja has surpassed the KRW 1 trillion revenue milestone for the first time since its founding, fueled by strong growth in its global enterprise solutions business alongside a stable consumer platform.
Yanolja announced on March 31 that its consolidated revenue for last year rose 11.3% year-on-year to KRW 1.0292 trillion. Its global gross transaction value (GTV) also reached a record KRW 39.2 trillion, up 44.9% from the previous year.
The company attributed the growth to the rapid expansion of its data solutions business and increasing transaction volumes across global markets, particularly in Europe and Latin America, which strengthened its international business portfolio.
However, profitability declined. Operating profit fell 68.2% year-on-year to KRW 156 billion, while adjusted EBITDA—a key measure of cash-generating capability—declined 12.8% to KRW 100 billion. The company cited continued strategic investments in research and development, particularly to enhance its artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.
By segment, the Enterprise Solutions (ES) business recorded revenue of KRW 352.6 billion, up 20.5% from a year earlier, driven by the expansion of AI- and data-based automation solutions for global travel operators. Operating profit in this segment rose 11.3% to KRW 64.1 billion, while adjusted EBITDA increased 30.3% to KRW 88.2 billion.
Meanwhile, the Consumer Platform (CP) segment posted revenue of KRW 723.8 billion, up 7.8% year-on-year, supported by balanced growth across its service offerings. However, operating profit and adjusted EBITDA in this segment declined sharply by 75.6% and 44.4% to KRW 15.1 billion and KRW 49.1 billion, respectively, reflecting increased marketing expenses and upfront investments to enhance customer-centric services.
