To create business synergy for autonomous driving,MHE (MANDO-HELLA Electronics) will become a wholly owned subsidiary of MMS.

MMS and MHE are aiming to achieve 2 trillion KRW in revenue by 2025',which is an increase of 800 billion KRW from that of the 2021 business plan.

Existing Co.'s target revenue by 2025 is 7.4 trillion KRW,which is an increase of 2.2 trillion KRW from that of 2021 business plan. Total revenue of Existing Co. and New Co. in 2025 is expected to reach 9 trillion KRW on a consolidated basis (removing intercompany transactions),which is an additional growth of 3 trillion KRW from 2021 business plan (6.1 trillion KRW).

Cho Seong-Hyeon,Mando's president & representative director,has stated that "specialization of core businesses is inevitably required for Mando to actively respond to the rapidly changing market," and that "we will make every effort to maximize shareholder value by fully recognizing values of Existing Co. and MMS as sharply-specialized companies".
