Seoul, October 21, 2009 - LG Electronics, Inc. (LG) today reported record revenues and operating profits in the third quarter, reflecting the results of the company’s successful growth and competitiveness initiatives during the current global recession.
The Mobile Communications Company reported KRW 4.65 trillion (USD 3.75 billion) in sales, 21.9 percent higher year-over-year and an operating profit of KRW 390 billion (USD 314 million) with a margin of 8.4 percent. Handset sales accounted for KRW 4.38 trillion (USD 3.53 billion), up 24.8 percent from the same quarter in 2008, and operating profit reached KRW 384 billion (USD 309 million), resulting in a margin of 8.8 percent. Shipments of handsets saw an increase of 37 percent year-over-year and 6 percent quarter-over-quarter to 31.6 million units due to robust growth in emerging and European markets, thanks to products such as Cookie and messaging phones, despite a slight decline in unit sales in North America and Korea. Price erosion, along with increased sales of low-end handsets, resulted in lower profitability compared to the second quarter.
