LG Household & Health Care said in a regulatory filing on Tuesday that its 2025 consolidated revenue fell 6.7% from a year earlier to 6.3555 trillion won, while operating profit dropped 62.8% to 170.7 billion won.
Fourth-quarter revenue declined 8.5% to 1.4728 trillion won, and the company posted an operating loss of 72.7 billion won, swinging to a loss from a year earlier. The company said results weakened as it booked large one-time costs tied to an aggressive overhaul of distribution channels and workforce-efficiency measures, including a voluntary retirement program.
By division, annual Beauty revenue fell 16.5% to 2.35 trillion won, and operating profit turned negative with a loss of 97.6 billion won. The company said it made visible progress diversifying overseas markets, helped by brands including The Face Shop and VDL, but performance was hurt as it continued efforts to strengthen brand health, including adjusting duty-free volumes, and incurred voluntary retirement costs.
The Home Care & Daily Beauty business posted annual revenue of 2.2347 trillion won and operating profit of 126.3 billion won, up 2.8% and 3.1%, respectively. The Refreshment business reported annual revenue of 1.7707 trillion won and operating profit of 142.0 billion won, down 2.9% and 15.5%.
An LG Household & Health Care official said the company will focus on developing key brands in high-growth channels and regions and will refine its digital marketing strategy to offer customers a more differentiated experience.
