LG Electronics has proven the competitiveness of its core business despite unfavorable business environments, such as tariff burdens and the electric vehicle chasm in 2025.

LG Electronics announced its 2025 business results on the 30th. According to the announcement, based on consolidated financial statements, revenue reached 89.2009 trillion won, a 1.7% increase from the previous year, while operating profit was 2.4784 trillion won, a 27.5% decrease year-on-year. Net profit was 1.2204 trillion won, a 106.4% increase year-on-year.

Sales for the fourth quarter of 2025 amounted to 23.8522 trillion won, a 4.8% increase year-on-year, while the company recorded an operating loss of 109 billion won. The net loss for the period was 725.9 billion won.

LG Electronics broke its all-time sales record for the second consecutive year. In particular, the home appliance and automotive electronics businesses drove the company's overall performance by continuing their growth despite tariff burdens and slowing demand for electric vehicles, respectively.

The two businesses have set a record of 10 consecutive years of growth since 2015, supporting LG Electronics' stable business structure.

On the other hand, operating profit decreased due to increased marketing costs resulting from the delayed recovery of demand for display-based products and intensified competition, as well as the reflection of one-time costs associated with the company-wide voluntary retirement program in the second half of the year.

However, the company expects that voluntary retirement costs will act as a factor in alleviating the burden of fixed costs in the mid-to-long term.

Performance was also outstanding in the area of qualitative growth.

B2B sales, including electrical systems, HVAC, and parts solutions, recorded 24.1 trillion won, a 3% increase year-on-year.

The combined operating profit of the VS and ES business divisions exceeded 1 trillion won for the first time. The subscription and online-focused D2C business also grew by 29%, approaching 2.5 trillion won in revenue.

Looking at the breakdown by business division, the HS (Home Appliance Solution) business division achieved its highest-ever revenue with 26.1259 trillion won in sales and 1.2793 trillion won in operating profit.

We have offset the tariff burden through production site optimization and cost improvement, and this year we plan to accelerate preparations for future businesses, such as AI appliances and home robots.

The MS (Media Entertainment Solution) business division turned to a deficit due to the delayed recovery in demand, but it aims for a rebound through differentiated products such as OLED and Micro RGB, as well as webOS advertising and content businesses.

The VS (Vehicle Solution) Business Division demonstrated the growth potential of the automotive electronics business by recording all-time highs in both revenue and operating profit. The ES (Eco Solution) Business Division is expanding future growth opportunities centered on high-efficiency heat pumps and AI data center cooling solutions.

LG Electronics plans to continue its sustainable growth this year by enhancing its business portfolio centered on AI, automotive electronics, and eco-friendly solutions.
