(Telecompaper) LG Electronics reported profits under pressure in the second quarter, led by losses at its mobile division as its latest flagship smartphone failed to sell enough. Revenues were up 0.6 percent year-on-year to KRW 14.00 trillion, as growth in its other divisions helped offset the weak performance in mobile. Operating profit dropped to KRW 584.6 billon from KRW 505.2 billion a year ago, while lower financial and one-time costs helped net profit rise to KRW 268.5 billion from KRW 198.1 billion. Mobile revenues fell 6 percent year-on-year to KRW 3.33 trillion, as smartphone shipments dropped 1 percent over the same period to 13.9 million. LG said it generated some KRW 150 billion in operating losses due to the increased marketing expense for the launch of its flagship G5, but the phone has to date sold less than hoped.
