LG on Wednesday reported second-quarter earnings that showed notable growth, though the consumer electronics giant still hasn’t found a way to return its mobile business to*profitability. The company’s revenue for the quarter reached KRW 14.4 trillion (U.S. $13.3*billion), up 9.3% sequentially. Following two straight quarters of losses, LG reported a net profit of KRW 108 billion (U.S. $99.6 million) in the second quarter thanks to solid TV sales and cost-cutting efforts. The company’s operating income of KRW 158 billion (U.S. $145.8 million) was up 25% from the same quarter last year, and up 21% over the first quarter. LG’s mobile business is still struggling, however; despite improved performance, LG Mobile Communications Company still reported a loss of KRW 54 billion (U.S. $49.8 million) on sales of KRW 3.25 trillion (U.S. $3 billion), up 11.6% compared to the first quarter. The South Korean firm said it expects to see modest year-over-year growth in the third quarter. LG’s full press release follows below.
