LG Electronics reported a preliminary operating profit of 146.1 billion won for the fourth quarter of last year on the 8th. Revenue during the same period was 22.7775 trillion won. While revenue increased by 0.2% compared to the previous year, operating profit decreased by 53.3%.
Previously, multiple securities firms had estimated LG Electronics' operating profit for the fourth quarter of last year to be around 397 billion won; however, it fell significantly short of expectations. Additionally, considering that LG Innotek is estimated to have recorded an operating profit in the 300 billion won range, the prevailing analysis suggests it is essentially a deficit.
