IR WEBZINE2016. February
Market ReviewStock Market
The KOSPI rose by 0.24% from the previous month to 1,916.66 points at the end of February 2016, getting over a
prolonged bearish trend. In the aspect of technical analysis, it shows a positive signal by dramatically overcoming the
collapse in early February and turning back short- and mid-term moving average lines. Meanwhile, sluggish trading
volume means that investors are still suspicious about the future stock market.
The collapse in early February was mainly attributable to susceptible response to global issues such as increasing
concerns about credit crunch of EU financial industry, fluctuation of raw materials prices, and foreign currency
volatility. Since then, the situation was reversed. A dramatic turnaround and rally occurred thanks to favorable issues
such as the possibility of mitigating interest rate increase pace in the US due to sluggish global economy, China's
interest rate reduction, EU's quantitative easing to protect the Brexit.
In March 2016, the KOSPI seems to maintain a slight rise backed by economic policy collaboration of major countries.
Concerns about the fluctuation of raw materials prices including crude oil is being relived and depreciation of Korean
Won also has positive effects on the domestic businesses. However, unsatisfied trading volume is likely to stick to the
KOSPI.

Coway's bidet obtained the environmental mark certification.
- Seven products have obtained the certification as of 2016.
Coway announced on February 23 that its self-sterilizing bidet (BAS16-B)
obtained the environmental mark certification. As a result, the number of
products with the environmental mark certification has expanded to seven until
now.
The environmental mark certification was introduced by the Korea Environmental
Industry & Technology Institute under the Ministry of Environment in 1992. It
aims not only to offer information on environmental products to consumers by
labeling the 'environmental mark' in regard to environmental impact, resource
use, and energy consumption but also to encourage businesses to develop and
manufacture environmental products that meet consumer needs.
Coway's self-sterilizing bidet demonstrates excellent power-saving performance
by adopting self-developed "Green Plug" technology. This technology helps users
save power up to 40% compared with existing bidets without power-saving
function by automatically control the operation time of bidet based on the
analysis of 14-day usage patterns. In addition, users are able to sterilize the bidet
in 15 seconds by simply touching a button.
Coway plans to make its products including the clinic bidets (BASH21-A and
BA20-B) and dual power air purifier IoCare (AP-1515D) obtain the environmental
mark certification gradually.
Kwang-sik Shin, head of Environmental Quality Research Center, said, "The
obtainment proved our advanced environmental technology once again. We will
continue to develop and supply products with higher environmental value to set
a good example for green management."
