LG sees huge year-on-year profit increase in Q1 2017 earnings report Apr 27th 2017, 09:24, by Scott Adam Gordon LG has released its consolidated earnings report for Q1, 2017, revealing strong growth on the same period last year. Net profit stood at 835.7 billion won ($737 million) for Q1, 2017 compared to 198 billion won ($175 million )in Q1, 2016. That’s a significant year-over-year increase, helped by LG's Home Appliance department, which saw a 10% year-over-year increase with sales generating 4.64 trillion won. Operating profit hit 921.5 billion won ($812 million) during 2017’s first quarter, up from 505.2 billion won ($445 million) on Q1, 2016, though LG is slightly down on the Q4, 2016 in operating income and net profit (which was 956.7 billion won ($843 million) and 1.1 trillion won ($970 million), respectively). Seasonal sales will have increased profitability in that quarter, however. Samsung posts best Q1 results ever, despite declining smartphone profitability2 hours ago Meanwhile, LG's Mobile Communications sales were up 2% year-over-year, helped by the launch of the LG G6 and smartphone shipments came in at 14.8M units during the period, up 5% quarter-on-quarter and 10% year-on-year. Despite this, LG’s mobile business posted an operating loss of 200 million won. LG’s mobile sales, then, seem to be doing all right — even in light of the slowing growth in the smartphone market and strong competition (LG didn’t launch its latest flagship in the massive Chinese market because of the OEM competition there). But, as was the case for its mobile unit in 2015 and 2016, it just can’t make money out of it. Company-wide LG sales brought in 14.6 trillion won ($123 billion), up 10 percent year-on-year. | |
