Nexen Tire reported Q3 2025 sales earnings of KRW 780.7 billion ($542 million USD) and operating income of KRW 46.5 billion ($32.2 million USD), with leadership citing improved quarter-over-quarter profitability despite the continued impact of item-specific tariffs in the U.S.
The company credited its performance to steady sales growth in Europe and Korea, where new product launches and strong seasonal demand drove results. In Europe, Nexen expanded original equipment (OE) supply for new vehicle models and saw increased demand for products aligned with stricter winter tire regulations. In Korea, Nexen posted its highest-ever quarterly sales, supported by peak summer demand and a growing tire rental business.
