LG Display二季度仍亏1077亿韩元，上半年累计营业利润390亿韩元转正

LG Display returned to a cumulative operating profit in the first half of the year despite the seasonal slowdown in demand and one-off costs related to workforce optimization.
The company said on July 22 that it posted revenue of 5.6121 trillion won and an operating loss of 107.7 billion won for the second quarter.
Revenue rose 0.4% from 5.587 trillion won a year earlier. The operating loss narrowed by 8.4 billion won from 116.1 billion won in the second quarter of 2025.
For the first half of the year, LG Display reported cumulative revenue of 11.1461 trillion won and an operating profit of 39.0 billion won. Compared with revenue of 11.6523 trillion won and an operating loss of 82.6 billion won in the same period of 2025, revenue declined 4.3%, while the company returned to profitability. First-half earnings improved by 121.6 billion won year over year.
The first half is typically a seasonally weak period for the display industry as device manufacturers adjust component inventories ahead of new product launches in the second half of the year. The second quarter also included one-off costs related to workforce optimization.
LG Display said it maintained first-half profitability by further strengthening its OLED-centered business structure despite seasonal weakness and one-time expenses. Excluding those one-off factors, the company's core business also remained profitable during the second quarter.
In the second half, LG Display plans to strengthen its competitiveness through technology-driven cost innovation. Beyond simple cost reductions, the company will improve efficiency across development, manufacturing and production by accelerating its AI transformation (AX), further enhancing its business fundamentals.
In its small- and medium-sized display business, LG Display will focus on differentiated technologies to strengthen competitiveness in the high-end segment. The company said its stable technology development and mass-production capabilities will allow it to respond flexibly to changes in market demand.
In the large-sized display business, LG Display aims to reinforce its leadership in the premium market with differentiated technologies and cost-competitive products. As the monitor market continues to shift from liquid crystal display (LCD) to OLED technology, the company plans to expand its lineup of high-value products, including gaming OLED monitors, and increase shipments.
"We will continue improving our full-year performance and further solidify a stable earnings structure by advancing cost innovation and strengthening business competitiveness in the second half," said Kim Sung-hyun, chief financial officer of LG Display.
