The estimated operating profit and revenue increased 139.5 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively, on-year while they increased 15.7 percent and 4.8 percent, compared to the first quarter this year.
The company’s home appliance business, which has put weight on high-end home electronics such as a dual-tub washing machine and organic light-emitting diode TVs, is said to have driven the profits.
On the other hand, its mobile business reportedly posted an operating loss for the fourth consecutive quarter due mainly to the sluggish sales of the firm’s flagship smartphone G5 during the three months.
