55 LG Display Statistics on Revenue, OLED, Capacity and Sustainability

LG Display Revenue and Profitability Statistics

LG Display’s consolidated financial information is reported under K-IFRS and is stated in KRW billions unless noted otherwise. The annual comparison shows higher reported revenue in 2024, while profitability remained negative at the operating, pretax and net-income levels.

Measure FY 2023 FY 2024 Scope
Consolidated revenue KRW 21,331 billion KRW 26,615 billion K-IFRS consolidated
Gross profit Not supplied KRW 2,575 billion K-IFRS consolidated
Operating result Not supplied KRW 561 billion loss Reported as negative operating income
Loss before tax Not supplied KRW 2,192 billion K-IFRS consolidated
Net result Not supplied KRW 2,409 billion loss K-IFRS consolidated

Source: LG Display Financial Information. The 2024 quarterly releases are unaudited, while the annual financial figures above are consolidated K-IFRS figures.

At the balance-sheet date of December 31, 2024, consolidated LG Display reported KRW 32,860 billion in total assets, alongside KRW 24,787 billion in total liabilities and KRW 8,073 billion in total equity. These are point-in-time measures rather than flows during FY 2024.

The relationship between revenue and earnings should therefore be read carefully: the supplied figures describe scale of sales and separate profit or loss measures, without supporting an independently calculated margin or trend beyond the reported values.

LG Display OLED Statistics and Product Mix

OLED products represented 55% of consolidated revenue in FY 2024, exceeding half of total revenue by 5 percentage points. This is a revenue-share measure, not a count of OLED panels shipped, OLED volume share or market share.

In Q3 2024, OLED products represented 58% of consolidated revenue, and LG Display reported that the OLED share was 16 percentage points higher year over year than in Q3 2023. The company’s quarterly application mix was as follows:

Q3 2024 application Share of revenue Definition
TV panels 23% Application mix by revenue
IT panels 33% Monitors, laptops and tablets
Mobile and other panels 36% Company application grouping
Automotive panels 8% Application mix by revenue

The four categories sum to 100% as a check of the company’s rounded Q3 2024 revenue-mix figures, although rounding may affect exactness. Source: LG Display Reports Third Quarter 2024 Results.

The annual OLED figure comes from the company’s 2024 Form 20-F: LG Display 2024 Form 20-F. Because annual and quarterly shares measure revenue mix in different periods, they should not be treated as interchangeable observations.

The Q3 and Q4 2024 releases provide a short-term view of revenue and reported earnings. Q4 revenue was KRW 7,833 billion, up 15% from Q3 2024 and 6% from Q4 2023.

Quarterly measure Q3 2024 Q4 2024 Period or comparison
Revenue KRW 6,821 billion KRW 7,833 billion Consolidated, unaudited
Operating result KRW 81 billion loss KRW 83.1 billion profit Consolidated, unaudited
EBITDA KRW 1,162 billion profit KRW 1,306 billion profit Company-reported non-IFRS measure
Net result KRW 338 billion loss Not supplied Consolidated, unaudited

Q3 2024 revenue rose 43% from Q3 2023, while the quarter recorded an operating loss of KRW 81 billion and a net loss of KRW 338 billion. Q4 2024 operating profit was KRW 83.1 billion, and EBITDA profit was KRW 1,306 billion.

LG Display Production Capacity and Manufacturing Footprint

LG Display reported 6,063 thousand glass sheets of annual display production capacity in FY 2024, compared with 4,996 thousand glass sheets in FY 2023. The reported difference is 1,067 thousand glass sheets, but these are company effective-capacity figures rather than finished monitor units.

Capacity measure FY 2023 FY 2024 Geography or method
Annual display production capacity 4,996 thousand glass sheets 6,063 thousand glass sheets Effective-capacity calculation
Cost of sales per square meter Increased 36.8% vs FY 2022 Decreased 10.5% vs FY 2023 Total cost of sales divided by square meters shipped

The effective-capacity method uses substrate size, operating time, operating days and an efficiency rate. Source: LG Display 2024 Form 20-F.

At December 31, 2024, LG Display operated TFT-LCD and OLED panel plants in Gumi, Paju and China. It also operated TFT-LCD and OLED module plants in Gumi, Paju, China and Vietnam.

The production network has changed over time: the P5 fabrication facility closed in June 2022, P7 closed in December 2022, and P62 closed in June 2023. The company described these as historical facility closures; they are contextual production-network observations rather than financial or product-performance measures.

Cost of sales per square meter decreased 10.5% in 2024 versus 2023 after increasing 36.8% in 2023 versus 2022. LG Display defines this ratio as total cost of sales divided by square meters shipped and attributes part of the earlier change to mix and currency effects.

LG Display Environmental and Energy Statistics

LG Display’s 2024 climate data separates Scope 1, location-based Scope 2, market-based Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions. The two Scope 2 views are different accounting measures and should not be combined.

ESG measure 2022 2023 2024
Scope 1 emissions 1,158,706 tCO2e 1,056,041 tCO2e 1,270,716 tCO2e
Scope 2, location-based Not supplied Not supplied 2,342,237 tCO2e
Scope 2, market-based Not supplied Not supplied 3,803,415 tCO2e
Scope 3 emissions Not supplied Not supplied 2,846,784 tCO2e
Renewable-energy share 13% 15% 39%

Source: LG Display Climate Change: 2024 GHG Emissions and Renewable Energy. The emissions figures use LG Display’s ESG reporting boundary, and Scope 3 categories and boundary should be retained in publication context.

Renewable energy reached 3,071 GWh in 2024, supplying 39% of total power consumption. The company-reported renewable-energy share was 15% in 2023 and 13% in 2022, so the series provides a reported transition-rate history without requiring an estimate of total electricity demand.

LG Display Ownership and Operating Context

LG Electronics owned 36.72% of LG Display common stock at December 31, 2024, representing 183,593,206 common shares. This ownership disclosure comes from the company’s 2024 Form 20-F.

The 2024 shareholder-structure table presents additional categories, with foreigners including ADRs:

  • The National Pension Service held 5.6% of shares in the 2024 shareholder-structure table.
  • Domestic institutions held 4.1% in the 2024 shareholder-structure table.
  • Domestic individuals held 30.6% in the 2024 shareholder-structure table.
  • Foreign investors held 17.6% in the 2024 shareholder-structure table; LG Display notes that foreigners include ADRs.
  • The employee stock ownership association held 5.4% in the 2024 shareholder-structure table.

Source: LG Display Shareholder Structure. The company-presented categories and the displayed year are retained as reported; the supplied ownership data does not establish a separate measurement date within 2024.

Taken together, these ownership and operating-context figures describe the company’s disclosed corporate structure, production footprint and application coverage. They do not by themselves measure end-user adoption, monitor market share or finished-unit shipments.
