This marks the first time its quarterly operating profit has reached this level.

Operating profit rose over 200% from a year earlier, while sales climbed 22.7% year-on-year to 93 trillion won (US$64.2 billion), also exceeding 90 trillion won (US$62.1 billion) in a quarter for the first time.

The Q4 operating profit topped market expectations by 1.8%, based on a Yonhap Infomax survey.

Samsung did not provide a breakdown by business division, but analysts cited improved results in its semiconductor business as global DRAM and NAND flash prices rose sharply in Q4.
