Hanwha Solutions said first-quarter operating profit rose 205.5 percent from a year earlier to 92.6 billion won, while revenue increased 25.5 percent to 3.88 trillion won on a consolidated basis. It marked a return to operating profit for the first time in three quarters since the second quarter of 2025. The company said U.S. solar customs delays eased, plant operations normalised and profitability improved across renewable energy, chemicals and advanced materials.

All outside directors at Hanwha Solutions will buy company shares in support of a rights issue, the company said on Sunday. Board chairman Jang Jae-su and outside directors Song Gwang-ho, Bae Seong-ho and Lee A-young said they agreed on the need for the rights issue announced on March 26. Their participation follows earlier share purchase plans announced by senior executives, including Vice Chairman Kim Dong-kwan.
