LG Electronics Inc records an operating income of KRW 584.6 billion (USD 503.10million), nearly 140 percent higher than the previous year, from strong performance by the Home Appliance & Air Solution and Home Entertainment companies, both reporting the highest quarterly operating profit in LG’s history.Global consolidated revenues of KRW 14 trillion (USD 12.05 billion) increased both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter.

 

LG Electronics Inc ‘s Home Appliance & Air Solution Company accounted for the largest share of the second quarter’s operating profit with KRW 433.7 billion (USD 373.24 million). Revenues of KRW 4.70 trillion (USD 4.04 billion), an increase of 4.8 percent from the second quarter last year, were driven by growth in B2B sales ofair conditioning systemsand strong overall performance in Korea, Europe and Asia. With an improved product portfolio and cost structure, the business unit was able to achieve an operating margin of more than 9 percent. Going forward, premium products such as the LG SIGNATURE collection, TWINWash and LG Styler are expected to contribute positively to the performance of the company.

 

LG Mobile Communications Company saw revenues of KRW 3.33 trillion (USD 2.86 billion)increase 12 percent from the first quarter, while declining from the same period the year before.An operating loss of KRW 153.5 billion (USD 132.10 million) reflected increased marketing expenditures and somewhat slow initial sales of G5 smartphone.Overall smartphone shipments increased 3 percent from the previous quarter with a total of13.9 million smartphones shipped in the second quarter. The launch of the new V seriesand expanding sales of mass-tier K and X series models are expected to improve the business unit’s performance next quarter.
