Samyang Foods half-year sales break W1tr on overseas growth
Samyang Foods said Sunday that its revenue in the first half of this year surpassed 1 trillion won ($720 million) for the first time, as strong overseas demand pushed sales in the first two quarters past the 500 billion won mark on double-digit growth. In the April-June quarter, the maker of Buldak noodles posted sales of 553.1 billion won and operating profit of 120.1 billion won, up 30 percent and 34 percent, respectively, from a year earlier. Revenue came in higher than the first quarter's 529 billion won, though operating profit edged down from 134 billion won. The company's half-year revenue surged to 1.08 trillion won, a record high. Second-quarter overseas sales climbed 33 percent to 440.2 billion won, led by sustained growth in its two largest markets, China and the US, and a sharp pickup in Europe. Operating profit surpassed 100 billion won for a second straight quarter, keeping margins in the 20 percent range. The company's Chinese unit reported roughly $90 million in sales, up 30 percent from a year earlier, driven by new locally tailored products and expanded online and offline channels. Samyang America generated $94 million in revenue, a 32 percent on-year increase, after widening distribution to mainstream retailers including H-E-B and Sam's Club. Samyang's European unit, established in July 2024, more than doubled revenue from the prior quarter to around $37 million. 'We aim to gradually increase export volumes in the second half, as our second Miryang plant, now online, can help meet rising overseas demand,' a company official said. 'We plan to pursue country-specific strategies to sustain long-term growth, based on our expanded production capacity."

ABU DHABI,UAE, Aug. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) has welcomed its largest cohort for its Fall 2025 intake, enrolling 403 new students. This includes its inaugural undergraduate class, new graduate cohorts in existing programmes in Computer Science, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, and Robotics, and the first intakes into the Master of Science in Statistics & Data Science and Master in Applied Artificial Intelligence. This semester received more than 8,000 applications across the university's Bachelor and graduate programmes, yielding an acceptance rate of 5 per cent, and reinforcing the university's prestigious position and ability to attract the best talent in the UAE and from around the world. Timothy Baldwin, MBZUAI Provost and Professor of Natural Language Processing, said: "This year, MBZUAI welcomes our largest cohort of graduate students alongside our inaugural undergraduate class. Artificial intelligence is transforming the world at a pace that vastly outstrips traditional education models. To realise its full global potential, MBZUAI invests heavily in reviewing and updating our programmes to reflect modern AI research methodology and workflows, based on our bleeding-edge AI research credentials and grounded in societal and industrial needs. As a young institution, MBZUAI has already earned a place among the world's top 10 AI universities based on our research credentials. With the introduction of our undergraduate and Master's in Applied AI programmes, we continue to build world-leading programmes aligned with the UAE's National Strategy for AI 2031 and supporting Abu Dhabi's rapidly growing AI ecosystem." The newly launched Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence programme offers two streams, AI for Business and AI for Engineering, combining technical rigor with leadership, hands-on entrepreneurship, and in-situ industry experience. The first class consists of 115 undergraduate students from more than 25 countries, over 25 per cent of which are UAE Nationals. Professor Baldwin said: "The jobs of tomorrow are being shaped by AI today and we must ensure that future generations are equipped with the tools and skills to navigate that shift. Our extraordinarily talented students don't just learn about AI, but learn with it, through it, and for it. This is an extraordinary value proposition across all our programmes, but especially for our undergraduate students, who will be studying towards a bachelor's degree in AI that I believe sets a new global benchmark in terms of technical depth, real-world relevance, and the high-end AI job-readiness of the students." The key highlights for the Fall 2025 intake includes MBZUAI's total student body totaling more than 700, representing over 47 nationalities. Nationalities represented in the undergraduate programmes are Bulgaria, China, Egypt, Georgia, Greece, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, the UAE and the UK.
