Revenue rose 4.7 percent to 42.93 trillion won, marking the highest third-quarter sales in the company's history, despite a 3.2 percent decline in global sales volume to 1.01 million vehicles.
Net profit fell 3 percent to 3.21 trillion won while operating profit margin stood at 8.3 percent.
The company said the profit decrease was primarily attributed to about 320 billion won in provisions set aside for extended warranty coverage for its Grand Santa Fe SUV model in the U.S.
Without this one-time cost, the company said its operating profit would have met market consensus of 3.83 trillion won.
