10 Domestic Sales Exceeding 1 Trillion KRW

Atomy’s domestic sales in Korea will undoubtedly exceed the 1 trillion KRW mark. According to Atomy’s accounting department, the sales were recorded at 970 billion KRW by November. When estimated sales from December is added, it is undeniable that the total revenue of 2019 will pass 1 trillion KRW. The company’s revenue surpassed 1 trillion KRW the year before based on the consolidated audit report, but the net domestic sales of 2018 was 970 billion KRW.
For reference, the annual sales reports published by the Korea Fair Trade Commission show the sum of net domestic sales plus value-added taxes of companies. However, revenue in the audit report published annually in April includes the amount of exports, but not value-added taxes. The consolidated audit report also includes sales from some overseas regional offices. Therefore, a company’s total sales amount can vary depending on which report is used.
