Strong Performance in Home Appliance and Vehicle Solutions Drives
Second-Highest Third-Quarter Revenue in Company History
SEOUL, Oct. 31, 2025 — LG Electronics Inc. (LG) today announced consolidated revenue of KRW 21.87 trillion and operating profit of KRW 688.9 billion for the third quarter of 2025.
The Home Appliance Solution (HS) Company and Vehicle Solution (VS) Company delivered strong performances despite external challenges such as U.S. tariffs and a slowdown in the electric vehicle (EV) market. These results reflect LG’s ongoing transformation of its business portfolio and commitment to qualitative growth, encompassing B2B solutions such as vehicle and HVAC systems, expanding non-hardware businesses like subscriptions and webOS, and innovative direct-to-consumer business models.
In the third quarter, LG’s B2B revenue grew 2 percent year-on-year to KRW 5.9 trillion, while revenue from appliance subscription services reached KRW 700 billion, up 31 percent year-on-year.
Q3 2025 Results & Outlook by Company
LG Home Appliance Solution (HS) Company
The HS Company reported revenue of KRW 6.58 trillion and operating profit of KRW 365.9 billion. Growth was driven by a successful two-track strategy targeting both premium and mass-market segments, alongside continued expansion in subscription and online businesses. Production site optimization and operational efficiency improvements helped offset much of the U.S. tariff impact, resulting in higher year-on-year profitability.
Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, the global home appliance market is expected to remain challenging due to sluggish demand recovery and intensified competition. The Company plans to continue expanding its subscription and online businesses and maintain focus on furthering its qualitative growth efforts. It will also pursue cost structure enhancements and fixed cost reductions to improve profitability year-on-year.
LG Media Entertainment Solution (MS) Company
The MS Company recorded revenue of KRW 4.65 trillion and an operating loss of KRW 302.6 billion in the third quarter. Profitability was impacted by increased marketing investments to address intensifying competition and one-time expenses related to voluntary retirements.
The Company remains focused on improving operational efficiency and profitability in its TV business while expanding the webOS platform through advancements in advertising and content diversification. It also plans to strengthen its presence in Global South markets, where demand remains relatively resilient.
LG Vehicle Solution (VS) Company
The VS Company recorded revenue of KRW 2.65 trillion and operating profit of KRW 149.6 billion. Revenue reached an all-time third-quarter high, while operating profit achieved the highest quarterly level since the Company’s establishment. The operating profit margin exceeded 5 percent for the first time.
While external factors such as changes to U.S. EV subsidy policies may present short-term challenges in the fourth quarter, the Company aims to maintain stable profitability through ongoing product mix optimization, cost structure improvements and efficiency initiatives.
LG Eco Solution (ES) Company
The ES Company reported revenue of KRW 2.17 trillion and operating profit of KRW 132.9 billion. Revenue increased slightly year-on-year, supported by stronger domestic sales and continued growth in subscription and online businesses. Operating profit declined modestly due to expanded investments.
The Company plans to strengthen growth momentum through region-specific product launches and explore new opportunities in commercial HVAC systems and industrial and power generation chillers. It has recently secured a series of AI data center cooling solution contracts across North America, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia, demonstrating tangible progress. The Company aims to use these projects as strategic references to further expand its market presence. In parallel, it is preparing for the commercialization of next-generation liquid cooling solutions for data centers and broadening partnerships to advance immersion cooling technologies.

Strong Performance in Key and Future-Oriented Businesses Drives Q3 Results
Above Market Expectations
SEOUL, Oct. 13, 2025 — LG Electronics Inc. (LG) today announced its preliminary earnings results for the third quarter of 2025, reporting consolidated revenue of KRW 21.88 trillion and an operating profit of KRW 688.9 billion.
Despite external headwinds, including escalating U.S. tariffs, both figures surpassed market expectations. Revenue marked the second-highest ever for a third quarter, while operating profit exceeded recent market forecasts by more than 10 percent. Profitability declined year-on-year due to several non-recurring factors, including higher tariff burdens under changing trade conditions.
Nevertheless, LG successfully offset market concerns and exceeded expectations, driven by solid performances across key and future-oriented businesses. The home appliance solutions business maintained strong competitiveness and market leadership, while the vehicle solutions business achieved record-high profitability.
LG continues to reinforce its business fundamentals through a focus on qualitative growth – emphasizing B2B operations such as vehicle solutions and HVAC, expanding non-hardware platforms including appliance subscriptions and webOS, and strengthening its online business. In particular, the IPO of LG Electronics India Limited is expected to provide significant funding to accelerate business structure improvements and future growth initiatives.
The home appliance solutions business continued to face challenges from tariff pressures on U.S. exports and a delayed recovery in global demand. Despite these conditions, it sustained leadership in the premium segment and maintained stable performance in the mass market. These results were supported by optimized production operations, efficient resource allocation to mitigate tariff effects and steady growth in subscription-based appliance services.
The media and entertainment solutions business faced higher marketing costs as competition intensified in the global TV market. Moving forward, LG plans to enhance the competitiveness of the webOS platform to diversify its profit structure – focusing on advancing its advertising business and expanding content offerings. The company also plans to accelerate growth in the Global South, where TV demand remains relatively stable.
The vehicle solutions business is expected to have achieved record-breaking profitability in the third quarter, driven primarily by the strong performance of premium in-vehicle infotainment systems, which contributed to improved margins. The business is also broadening its portfolio beyond hardware to include vehicle content platforms, with continued growth expected based on a robust order backlog and improving operational efficiency across lighting and EV powertrain units.
In the eco solutions business, LG is actively expanding its footprint in future-oriented markets such as commercial HVAC systems and industrial and power plant chillers. The company has recently secured a series of large-scale projects – including AI data center cooling solutions – across North America, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia. As these projects progress, LG aims to leverage them as key references to further reinforce its long-term growth potential. In parallel, the company is preparing for the commercialization of liquid cooling solutions for data centers, a next-generation technology poised to become a major driver of future expansion.
These figures are tentative consolidated earnings based on K-IFRS provided as a service to investors prior to LG Electronics’ final earnings results, including net profit. Details regarding each division will be announced officially later this month.

Where do I go about reporting issues with webOS? I contacted tech support but their best answer was unplug the TV and plug it back in, well that's not a real fix.
I worked on Mac OS X for 15 years in the kernel and client layers and I have found a number of issues with webOS along with reproducible restart conditions. Ideally I would like to make it a better OS as it affects me directly as a user... and I tend to own products for a long time.

Question
karlafratus
I purchased my nano cell tv over a year ago, and everything was fabulous, but after 6 mos, I noticed odd behavior. When I checked all the settings, the open source license was jeri cur and had quite a bunch of apps that I never wanted and can't change.
The updates and the time refuse to update, so I constantly have to change settings. It shows apple products, like air play and other apps I never downloaded.
I have been dealing with these issues but just bought another big screen, an lg crystal 85 inch yet it doesn't seem to perform as it did on display at store. I have tried to download the newest software for the older tv, and I figured it was the webos, and got to the developer sight once but couldn't fix the problem, I believe the developer is the hacker, and I can't detach the controlling apps.
My browser exhibits redirecting and I can't control my remote and other issues. Any suggestions?
