LG Electronics announced this Wednesday, October 15th, its preliminary results for the third quarter of 2025, reporting a consolidated revenue of 15.3 billion dollars, or 14.3 billion euros at the current exchange rate, and an operating profit of 482.7 million dollars (445.5 million euros).
Despite external challenges, such as rising tariffs in the United States, both values exceeded market expectations.
The company highlighted that revenue is “the second highest value ever recorded in a third quarter”, while operating profit “exceeded forecasts recent by more than 10%”.
However, profitability decreased compared to the same period in the previous year due to non-recurring factors, especially high tariffs.
LG was able to “alleviate market concerns” through robust performance in strategic areas. THE The home appliance business maintained “strong competitiveness and market leadership”, while the vehicle solutions sector achieved “record profitability”.
The company is focused on “qualitative growth”, placing an emphasis on B2B operations such as vehicle solutions and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
LG is also expanding platforms unrelated to hardwareincluding subscription services and webOS-based content. LG Electronics India Limited’s IPO is expected to provide “significant funds to accelerate the improvement of the business structure and support future growth initiatives.”
Although the Home Appliances business has faced challenges, the company has managed to maintain its leadership in the premium segment and a stable performance in the mass market. “These results were supported by the optimization of production operations and efficient resource allocation,” which helped mitigate the effects of tariffs.
The media and entertainment sector, on the other hand, faced higher marketing costs due to intensifying global competition. LG plans to strengthen the competitiveness of the webOS platform, focusing on promoting the advertising business and expanding the content offering.
The company also aims to accelerate growth in the Global South region, where demand for televisions remains stable.
O vehicle components business set record valuesdriven by the performance of the infotainment in the vehicle (IVI), which increased margins. LG is expanding its portfolio to include in-vehicle content platforms, anticipating continued growth due to robust order volume and improved operational efficiency.
In the area of energy solutions (ES), LG is expanding its presence in future marketswith large-scale projects such as AI-enabled data center cooling solutions in North America, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia. “As these projects progress, we intend to use them as key benchmarks to leverage potential long-term growth,” the company said.
