    LG Display Reports Fourth Quarter 2018 Results

    Large-size OLED panels turned to profit in the latter half of 2018, five years after launching the products.

    LG Display Reports Fourth Quarter 2018 Results
    02.01.19
    LG Display reported unaudited earnings results based on consolidated K-IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) for the three-month period ending Dec. 31, 2018.
     
    Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2018 increased by 14% to KRW 6,948 billion ($6.22 billion) from KRW 6,103 billion ($5.47 billion) in the third quarter of 2018 and decreased by 3% from KRW 7,126 billion ($6.4 billion) in the fourth quarter of 2017.
     
    Operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2018 recorded KRW 279 billion ($250 million). This compares with the operating profit of KRW 140 billion in the third quarter of 2018 and the operating profit of KRW 45 billion in the fourth quarter of 2017. EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2018 was KRW 1,134 billion ($1 billion), compared with EBITDA of KRW 1,020 billion in the third quarter of 2018 and with EBITDA of KRW 930 billion in the fourth quarter of 2017.
     
    LG Display recorded KRW 24,337 billion ($21.8 billion) in annual revenues and KRW 92.9 billion ($83 million) in annual operating profit in 2018.
     
    LG Display maintained its annual operating profit in 2018 thanks to expanding differentiated products such as OLED TV panels and high-end products including large-size and high-resolution panels, even though global competition is getting fiercer and panel prices have been showing decreasing trends.
     
    It is especially notable that large-size OLED panels turned to profit in the latter half of 2018, five years after launching the products, driven by acquiring stable yield rates and productivity as well as expanding the customer base. Annual shipments of large-size OLED TV panels in 2018 increased to 2.9 million units, and the percentage of the annual revenues of large-size OLED TV panels increased to 20% of the total TV revenues.
     
    Panels for TVs accounted for 36% of the revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018, mobile devices for 28%, tablets and notebook PCs for 22%, and desktop monitors for 14%.
     
    “Panel area shipments in the first quarter of 2019 are expected to decrease by a high-single-digit percentage due to reduced panel demand stemming from low seasonality,” said Heeyeon Kim, head of Investor Relations Division and VP of LG Display. “Average selling price per square meter in the first quarter is anticipated to decline by a mid- to high-single-digit percentage due to the downward trends in panel prices.”
     
    “We will speed up our shift to an OLED-focused business structure and will maximize efficiency in all business areas in order to solidify our financial strengths,” added Dong-hee Suh, the newly appointed CFO and SVP of LG Display. “We will complete our preemptive investment to prepare for the future within this year. By doing this, we are committed to leading the display market with OLED technology and generating stable profits,” he added.
