LG Electronics announced its preliminary earnings for the fourth quarter and full year of 2025. Full year consolidated revenue reached KRW 89.2 trillion, marking the second consecutive year of record sales. Operating profit for the year was KRW 2.48 trillion. Over the past five years, LG’s revenue has grown at an average annual rate of about 9 percent.
Operating profit declined year on year due to slower recovery in display demand, stronger competition, higher marketing costs and one time restructuring expenses related to workforce optimization in the second half of the year.
LG’s qualitative growth businesses continued to expand and now account for nearly half of total revenue. These include B2B operations such as vehicle solutions and HVAC, non hardware platforms like webOS and product based services, and direct to consumer models including subscriptions and online sales.
The home appliance and vehicle solutions businesses both achieved record annual revenue, with vehicle solutions also delivering record profitability. Display based businesses recorded an operating loss, although the webOS platform continued double digit growth on a global installed base of about 260 million devices. The HVAC business continued to strengthen as a core B2B segment.
For Q4 2025, LG reported revenue of KRW 23.85 trillion and an operating loss of KRW 109.4 billion.
