LG Electronics Posts 1st Quarterly Operating Loss in 6 Years
LG Electronics Posts 1st Quarterly Operating Loss in 6 Years
Seoul - QNA
LG Electronics Inc. on Wednesday reported its first quarterly operating loss in six years as it failed to revive its money-losing smartphone business amid weaker sales of home appliances.
LG posted an operating loss of 35.2 billion won (US$30.1 million) for the October-December period last year, compared with a profit of 348.9 billion won for the same quarter in 2015, the company said in a regulatory filing, reported by Yonhap news agency.
The result was in line with LG's prior earnings guidance that had predicted an operating loss of 35 billion won.
Fourth-quarter sales rose 1.5% on year to 14.7 trillion won, LG said.
Net loss widened to 258.7 trillion won for the fourth-quarter of last year, from a loss of 140.4 billion won for the same quarter in 2015.
For all of 2016, LG posted an operating profit of 1.3 trillion won on sales of 55.3 trillion won, according to the filing.
With its new smartphones failing to appeal to consumers amid tougher competition with Chinese brands, LG's smartphone division has posted operating losses since the third quarter of 2015.

Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led hisGMT 09:22 2018 Monday ,22 January
