한국가스공사, 1분기 영업익 9100억…전년比 9.1% 증가

Korea Gas Corporation reported Q1 operating profit up 9.1% year-over-year despite revenue declining 7.3%, signaling operational efficiency gains amid challenging market conditions. The 49.3% surge in net income highlights strong cost control and non-operating benefits offsetting top-line pressure. This reflects the energy sector's shift toward profitability through efficiency optimization rather than volume growth.
