The fourth-quarter operating profit was down 17.46 percent over the previous quarter but was up 15.31 percent over a year earlier.

Revenue was 53 trillion won during the October-December period, up 2.55 percent from three months earlier and up 0.51 percent from a year ago.

For the whole year of 2015, operating profit increased 5.35 percent from the previous year to 26.37 trillion won.
