LG Electronics Reports Lower Second-Quarter 2025 Earnings

SEOUL, July 25, 2025 – LG Electronics Inc. (LG) today announced consolidated revenue of KRW 20.74 trillion and operating profit of KRW 639.4 billion for the second quarter of 2025.

Both revenue and operating profit declined year-over-year. The decrease was primarily attributed to continued global market softness, tariff burdens driven by changes in U.S. trade policy, and intensified competition. Rising costs, including logistics expenses, also weighed on overall profitability compared to the same period last year.

Despite these challenges, the Home Appliance Solution (HS), Vehicle Solution (VS), and Eco Solution (ES) Companies demonstrated strong performance, each posting year-over-year increases in both revenue and operating profit. All three entities achieved their highest-ever second-quarter results. Notably, the VS Company recorded its best quarterly revenue and operating profit in history.

Meanwhile, the Media Entertainment Solution (MS) Company reported an operating loss, primarily due to lower TV sales and increased marketing spend. However, its webOS platform-based advertising and content business continued to generate stable profits, increasingly contributing to the Company’s overall performance.

LG continues to strengthen its business fundamentals by focusing on B2B segments such as vehicle components and HVAC systems, non-hardware businesses including subscription services and the webOS platform, and direct-to-consumer (D2C) operations via its online platform, LGE.COM. In Q2 2025, B2B revenue – including vehicle, component and smart factory solutions, as well as HVAC – rose 3 percent year-over-year to KRW 6.2 trillion. Revenue from the home appliance subscription business increased 18 percent, reaching KRW 630 billion.
