LG Household sells 1 trillion won of cosmetics in quarter

LG Household & Health Care sold 1 trillion won ($885.2 million) of cosmetics for the first time ever in a quarter, the company said Thursday.

In its 2018 fourth quarter, cosmetics sales totaled 1.05 trillion won, an increase of 18.2 percent year on year. It credits strong sales of luxury line “The History of Whoo” for the good performance, adding that Whoo became the first single brand in the domestic cosmetics industry to reach 2 trillion won in annual global sales.

LG’s health care arm achieved another first. It recorded annual operating profits over 1 trillion won for the first time last year, while posting 6.7 trillion won in total sales.
