Company Achieves Record-Breaking First-Quarter Revenue
Driven by Balanced Growth in Home Appliance and B2B Sectors
SEOUL, April 24, 2025 — LG Electronics Inc. (LG) today announced consolidated revenue of KRW 22.74 trillion and operating profit of KRW 1.26 trillion for the first quarter of 2025. This marks the highest first-quarter revenue in the company’s history and the sixth consecutive year in which operating profit surpassed KRW 1 trillion during the first quarter. Strong performance was driven by qualitative growth across key business areas, especially in B2B, non-hardware segments (such as subscriptions and webOS platform) and direct-to-consumer (D2C) sales.
Vehicle solutions and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) – both critical to LG’s B2B strategy and future growth – delivered record-breaking quarterly revenue and operating profit. Combined operating profit from the Vehicle Solution Company and Eco Solution Company increased 37.2 percent year-over-year, with revenue climbing 12.3 percent.
The Home Appliance Solution Company, LG’s flagship business and primary profit generator, also recorded its highest-ever quarterly revenue while maintaining global market leadership. The business is rapidly transforming through innovative models such as subscription services and D2C sales. Meanwhile, the media and entertainment segment demonstrated solid performance, led by continued growth in LG’s webOS-based advertising and content platform.
The LG Home Appliance Solution Company reported first-quarter revenue of KRW 6.70 trillion and operating profit of KRW 644.6 billion. Compared to the same period last year, revenue increased by 9.3 percent, setting a new record, and operating profit grew by 9.9 percent. The Company continues to maintain its market leadership while accelerating the growth of its subscription and D2C sales.
Looking to the second quarter, the Company anticipates increased uncertainty due to shifting global trade policies and increasing market competition. To address these challenges, the Company will expand its portfolio of new and volume-zone products, while deepening its focus on subscription and online businesses. Additional priorities include focusing on opportunities in B2B such as built-in appliances and external sales of key components like motors and compressors. Profitability efforts will center on enhancing cost competitiveness through optimizing operational efficiency.
The LG Media Entertainment Solution Company posted first-quarter revenue of KRW 4.95 trillion and operating profit of KRW 4.9 billion. While TV demand remained soft, growth in webOS-based advertising and content services made a greater contribution to performance. Revenue remained in line with the previous year, though profitability was impacted by rising LCD panel prices and higher marketing spend.
In the second quarter, the Company will seek to create synergies across its display-focused businesses, including TVs, commercial displays, and IT products such as laptops and monitors. While the market recovers slowly, the Company will emphasize profitability, particularly through premium products. The expanding webOS-based platform will aim to increase geographic reach and product base while advancing strategic partnerships with content providers to maintain its growth trajectory.
The LG Vehicle Solution Company recorded its highest-ever quarterly revenue and operating profit, with revenue of KRW 2.84 trillion and operating profit of KRW 125.1 billion. Growth continues to be powered by a robust order backlog totaling KRW 100 trillion. Notably, profitability improved in the in-vehicle infotainment business, where premium product share is steadily increasing. In the second quarter, the Company aims to sustain revenue growth and solidify a stable profit structure by expanding high-value product sales, optimizing operations in the EV component business, and enhancing resource efficiency.
The LG Eco Solution Company also achieved record-high quarterly revenue and operating profit. First-quarter revenue reached KRW 3.05 trillion, with operating profit of KRW 406.7 billion, resulting in a strong operating margin of 13.3 percent. Year-over-year, revenue rose 18.0 percent and operating profit grew 21.2 percent. Since the beginning of 2025, LG has operated its HVAC business as an independent division, with noticeable performance gains driven by efficient resource allocation and a B2B-focused organizational structure.
Alongside the Vehicle Solution Company, the Eco Solution Company serves as a core engine of LG’s B2B growth. In the second quarter, the Company will seek to expand sales of new residential HVAC products and secure commercial air conditioning contracts in emerging markets. It also plans to target large-scale industrial and power-generation projects – including AI data centers – by leveraging its ultra-large chiller solutions.

Company Showcases Anti-fungal and Antibacterial Glass Powder to
Global B2B Customers
SEOUL, April 17, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is accelerating the global expansion of its advanced materials business with LG PuroTecTM, an antimicrobial glass powder designed for diverse B2B applications. The company is targeting global markets – including across Asia – with this innovative material that offers antibacterial and anti-fungal properties.
At Chinaplas 2025, being held in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, LG showcased its lineup of PuroTec to the international B2B market. Recognized as one of the world’s leading industrial materials exhibitions, Chinaplas 2025 has brought together over 4,000 companies from around 150 countries to introduce cutting-edge materials across industries such as plastics and rubber.
At the event, LG highlighted the wide applicability of PuroTec to B2B customers, and also introduced diverse use cases in home appliances, construction materials, medical devices and textiles that PuroTec can be applied to.
PuroTec can be blended into materials like plastic, paint and rubber to provide antibacterial and anti-fungal effects that can help prevent odors, contamination and discoloration caused by microorganisms. Even in small quantities, it maintains excellent efficacy and mixes easily with various base materials, enhancing its value across manufacturing sectors.
Building on its long-standing expertise in glass powder technology – originally developed for use in its home appliances – LG is positioning PuroTec as a new pillar of its B2B materials strategy. Since introducing the product in 2023, LG has expanded its presence in Asian markets such as China, Vietnam and India, while securing approximately 420 related patents since 2006.
As part of its global expansion strategy, LG plans to introduce PuroTec in Europe and North America, with a major showcase planned at K 2025 in Düsseldorf, Germany, this October.
In addition to PuroTec, LG continues to invest in the development of advanced materials. A notable example is Marine Glass, a functional, water-soluble glass material designed to help support marine ecosystem restoration. When dissolved, it changes into an inorganic ion state that stimulate the growth of both microalgae and macroalgae – helping to rehabilitate damaged ocean environments.
“We will continue to develop advanced materials that meet the evolving needs of global B2B customers,” said Baek Seung-tae, head of the LG’s Kitchen Solution Business, “These innovative solutions will enable us to expand beyond traditional home appliances and into broader, future-forward industries.”

My magic remote and my Roku remote stopped working for turning off power so I performed a factory reset after troubleshooting to get the remote working. I am now stuck at the 1st screen of the Factory Reset which says "Press the OK Button(wheel) on your remote." Well... this really stinks because the remote doesn't work!!! I have tried a USB mouse, a new magic remote, other LG Remotes with no luck. I have also tried using the button on the bottom of the tv. And, I contacted support which was just an exercise in redoing everything I had already tried... No Luck!!
This is a Nano Cell 55NANO81ANA which is basically just a big brick now since I cannot even use any of the inputs. Does anyone have a trick for getting past this initial screen???
Thanks for the help.
