Lg Electronics releases fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 financial results

Annual Revenue Reaches a Record USD 61.9 Billion, as HS and VS Extend Decade-Long Growth 

News Summary:  

• LG Electronics achieved its highest-ever annual revenue for the second consecutive year.
• HS and VS recorded growth for the tenth consecutive year since 2015, despite U.S. tariff-related pressures and a slowdown in the electric vehicle market.
• Operating profit declined year-on-year, reflecting increased marketing expenditures for display-based products and one-off costs related to organizational optimization.
• Strategic growth areas – including B2B segments, non-hardware businesses and D2C models – continued to expand, with combined B2B operating profit from VS and ES surpassing USD 693.96 million for the first time.
• Dubai, Feb. 3, 2026 — LG Electronics Inc. (LG) announced its financial results for the full year and fourth quarter of 2025, reporting consolidated revenue of USD 61.9 billion and operating profit of USD 1.7 billion. 

LG recorded its highest annual revenue for the second consecutive year. Despite U.S. tariff-related cost pressures, HS delivered sustained growth, while VS maintained solid performance amid a slowdown in electric vehicle demand – both contributing meaningfully to the company’s record revenue. As a result, the two Companies have now posted growth for ten consecutive years since 2015. 

Operating profit declined year-on-year. Marketing expenditures increased for display-based products amid delayed demand recovery and intensifying competition. In addition, several hundred billion KRW in one-off costs related to organizational optimization were recognized in the second half of the year, primarily associated with company-wide voluntary retirement programs aimed at improving workforce efficiency. These measures are expected to contribute to a more flexible cost structure over the mid- to long term. 

LG continued to deliver progress across its key qualitative growth areas, centered on higher-value and more resilient business models. These include B2B segments such as vehicle solutions, HVAC and component solutions; non-hardware businesses including the webOS platform and maintenance services; and D2C channels encompassing subscription-based models and online sales. B2B revenue increased 3 percent year-on-year to USD 16.7 billion. Combined operating profit from VS and ES – LG’s two core B2B pillars – exceeded USD 693.96 million for the first time. Revenue from subscription-based business models rose 29 percent year-on-year, approaching USD 1.7 billion.
