  • I will start with Q2 business results revenue in Q2 was KRW6.708 trillion, up 28% Q-o-Q and 42% Y-o-Y. Shipment increased in all product categories with notable growth in shipments and mix of OLED products where the company has differentiated advantage.

    我先從第二季的業績開始,第二季的營收為 6.708 兆韓元,季增 28%,年增 42%。所有產品類別的出貨量均有所成長,其中公司具有差異化優勢的OLED產品的出貨量和組合成長顯著。

  • Operating loss posted KRW94 billion, representing a significant decline Q-o-Q and Y-o-Y. The company's effort for business structure upgrade continues to produce tangible results, including the full-fledged mass production of IT OLED panels and growth in production of large OLED panels. Favorable foreign exchange conditions also contributed to earnings improvements.

    營業虧損達 940 億韓元,較上季和年比均大幅下降。公司業務結構升級持續取得成效,IT OLED面板全面量產,大尺寸OLED面板產量成長。有利的外匯條件也有助於獲利改善。

  • Next on area shipment and ASP per square meter. Area shipment of notebook PC and LCD TV products was slightly lower than planned. Our Q2 area shipment was up 23% Q-o-Q and 37% Y-o-Y to 6.5 million square meters, largely in line with the guidance from the previous quarter. ASP per square meter slightly outperformed on the guidance, which projected a slight decline by a low single digit percent. With increased shipment of small OLED panels such as mobile panels, ASP per square meter was $779, almost flat Q-on-Q.

    接下來是面積出貨量和每平方公尺的平均售價。筆記型電腦和液晶電視產品的面積出貨量略低於計畫。我們第二季的出貨面積較上季成長 23%,年增 37%,達到 650 萬平方米,與上一季的指導基本一致。每平方米平均售價略高於指導意見,該指導意見預計將小幅下降個位數百分比。隨著移動面板等小型OLED面板出貨量的增加,每平方公尺平均售價為779美元,較上季幾乎持平。

  • Next is product revenue mix. The revenue mix of TV panels was 24%, up 3-percentage-points from the previous quarter with increased shipment of OLED and LCD panels. IT was 44%, up three percentage points Q-o-Q with the full-fledged mass production of IT OLED.

    接下來是產品收入組合。電視面板營收佔比為24%,較上一季上升3個百分點,其中OLED和LCD面板出貨量增加。隨著IT OLED的全面量產,IT佔44%,季增3個百分點。

  • This pushed down the relative revenue mix of mobile and others to 23%, auto was 9%. Overall, the revenue mix of older products was 52%, up 10-percentage-points year over year and 5-percentage-points Q-o-Q showing visible impact of business structure upgrade.

    這使得移動和其他領域的相對收入組合下降至 23%,汽車為 9%。整體來看,老產品營收佔52%,較去年成長10個百分點,較上季成長5個百分點,業務結構升級影響明顯。

  • Next is on the financial position and key metrics. Cash and cash equivalents stood at KRW2.342 trillion. Inventory was KRW3.082 trillion, down Q-o-Q, driven by shipment growth. Debt to equity ratio was 282% and net debt to equity ratio was 151%.

    接下來是財務狀況和關鍵指標。現金和現金等價物為2.342兆韓元。在出貨量成長的推動下,庫存為 3.082 兆韓元,季減。負債股本比率為282%,淨負債股本比率為151%。

  • Next is Q3 guidance. Area shipment is expected to grow by mid-single digit percent level Q-o-Q from increased panel purchase for medium and large products like TV and IT as well as growth in seasonal demand. ASP per square meter is expected to remain flat without much volatility.

    接下來是第三季的指導。由於電視和 IT 等中型和大型產品的面板採購增加以及季節性需求的增長,預計面積出貨量將環比增長中個位數百分比。每平方米平均售價預計將保持平穩,不會有太大波動。

  • Shipment of OLED panels including mobile panels, is expected to expand, but shipment of medium and large products is also expected to grow.

    包括移動面板在內的OLED面板出貨量預計將擴大,但中型和大型產品的出貨量也預計將成長。

  • Next CFO, Sunghyun Kim, will walk us through the key highlights.

    下一位財務長 Sunghyun Kim 將向我們介紹主要亮點。

  • Sunghyun Kim - Chief Financial Officer

    Sunghyun Kim - Chief Financial Officer

  • Good morning and good afternoon. This is CFO, Sunghyun Kim. Thank you for joining our conference call. The company is posting better earnings than the previous year and strengthening financial stability through business structure upgrade, cost structure improvement and cost innovation as well as operational efficiency enhancement.

    早安,下午好。我是財務長金成賢 (Sunghyun Kim)。感謝您參加我們的電話會議。公司透過業務結構升級、成本結構優化和成本創新以及營運效率提升,獲利狀況好於上年,增強了財務穩定性。

  • Nevertheless, external situations remain highly volatile. So, we'd believe that there are still several factors that may affect our performance, including foreign exchange situations and the downstream industry circumstances for each application such as TV and IT. Against this backdrop, the company will strive to improve business results through business structure, upgrade, focus on overhead while responding to market uncertainties through efforts like operational efficiency.

    儘管如此,外部形勢仍然高度不穩定。因此,我們認為仍然有幾個因素可能會影響我們的業績,包括外匯情況以及每個應用程式(例如電視和IT)的下游行業情況。在此背景下,公司將透過業務結構升級、聚焦管理費用等努力改善經營業績,同時透過營運效率等努力應對市場的不確定性。

  • As for the company's plan and strategy per business area in the second half of the year, in the small mobile business, we aim to achieve a Y-o-Y increase in shipment based on the expanded infrastructure and production capacity, which is expected to bring about meaningful improvement in our revenue and profits.

    從公司下半年各業務領域的規劃和策略來看,在小型移動業務方面,我們的目標是在基礎設施和產能擴大的基礎上實現出貨量同比增長,預計將帶來有意義的改善我們的收入和利潤。

  • In the IT OLED segment under medium IT, we increased shipment in Q2 after the start of stable mass production based on tandem technology leadership. As for IT LCD., while the market is slow to recover and competition among panel makers is intensifying, we are confident in the company's differentiated competitive edge.

    在中IT下的IT OLED領域,基於串聯技術領先地位,在開始穩定量產後,我們在第二季度增加了出貨量。 IT液晶方面,雖然市場復甦緩慢,面板廠競爭加劇,但我們對公司的差異化競爭優勢充滿信心。

  • Our portfolio strategy focused on stable customer relationships and high end B2B product is expected to produce differentiated outcomes. And the market is fully recovered after the second half of the year. In large OLED our priority is to secure profitability.

    我們的投資組合策略專注於穩定的客戶關係和高端 B2B 產品,預計將產生差異化的結果。而下半年後市場全面恢復。在大型 OLED 領域,我們的首要任務是確保獲利。

  • To this end, we're expanding differentiated and high end lineup that reflects market and customer needs through close cooperation with our global strategic customers and pursuing product competitiveness and innovation in operational structure.

    為此,我們透過與全球策略客戶的密切合作,追求產品競爭力和營運結構創新,擴大反映市場和客戶需求的差異化、高端產品陣容。

  • Next is auto business. There are some elements of short-term volatility in the downstream market, mainly due to reduced incentives for EVs so we are carrying out activities to win orders as planned across both EVs and ICs based on differentiated product and technology portfolio involving OLED and LTPS LCD, and to stable and close customer relationships.

    其次是汽車業務。下游市場存在一些短期波動因素,主要是由於電動車的激勵措施減少,因此我們正在根據涉及 OLED 和 LTPS LCD 的差異化產品和技術組合,按計劃開展活動,以贏得電動車和 IC 的訂單,以及穩定和密切的客戶關係。

  • We will continue to expand into a larger market segments by raising the mix of OLED and using competitive ATO product, which is advanced in OLED. Our more diversified product portfolio will help sustain the growth momentum.

    我們將透過提高OLED的組合併使用在OLED領域先進的有競爭力的ATO產品,繼續擴展到更大的細分市場。我們更加多元化的產品組合將有助於維持成長勢頭。

  • Last is on our investment activities, we are focusing on essential investments and projects that can secure results early based on a careful consideration of external environment and demand growth investment this year is planned at a KRW2.2 trillion level, a significant reduction from the previous year.

    最後是我們的投資活動,我們在仔細考慮外部環境和需求增長的基礎上,重點關注必要的投資和能夠儘早取得成果的項目,今年的投資計劃為2.2萬億韓元,比去年大幅減少。

  • Although the market and external environment are likely to remain volatile in the second half of the year, we are working to continue the earnings improvement trend by expanding outcomes of business structure, upgrade and conducting profitability centered business management supported by gains in operational efficiency.

    儘管下半年市場和外部環境可能仍將波動,但我們將透過擴大業務結構、升級成果以及以盈利為中心的業務管理,以提高營運效率為支撐,繼續維持盈利改善趨勢。

  • Thank you.

    (聽不清楚)負責企業規劃的高級副總裁。謝謝你的問題。該公司目前正致力於扭虧為盈,我們在今年第二季的上半年和下半年取得了積極的業績。不過,我們仍然認為市場波動因素較多。因此,我們在做出任何未來預測時都需要謹慎。

  • However, we see that the external circumstances are still quite volatile. And there are several factors that may impact our business performance, including the demand in the downstream industry for major product categories. And there's quite a lot of uncertainties in this regard.

    但我們看到,外在環境仍然十分不穩定。有幾個因素可能會影響我們的業績,包括下游產業對主要產品類別的需求。而且這方面還存在相當多的不確定性。

However, I have not mentioned anything about a sale of where sales in the past. The message that I have been communicating to the market so far was that we are thinking about how we are going to utilize nonstrategic assets. And there are many options that we are considering.

    這是我們的財務長 Sunghyun Kim,正在回答您的問題。事實上,我們過去也收到過類似的問題。不過,我過去並沒有提到任何關於出售where sales的事情。到目前為止,我一直向市場傳達的訊息是,我們正在考慮如何利用非戰略資產。我們正在考慮很多選擇。

  • And even though I made these remarks, the news and the market seem to conclude that our efforts are going on for the sale of this Fab. So let me make it once again clear, and I'm going to deliver the same message that efforts are underway in many different ways and there has been some progress and there have been some more specifics coming out and that is the current situation.

    儘管我發表了這些言論,但新聞和市場似乎得出結論,我們正在努力出售這家晶圓廠。因此,讓我再次明確表示,我將傳達相同的訊息,即正在以許多不同的方式做出努力,並且已經取得了一些進展,並且出現了一些更多的具體細節,這就是當前的情況。

  • Thank you for taking my question. I'd like to ask a question about the mobile market situation. Unlike the past two years, earlier this year, there were some news reports that on LG Display will have gotten the early approval and will start mass production as scheduled. And there was some investment for capacity expansion last year and there is high expectation for the growth of AI related demand in the market.

    感謝您回答我的問題。我想問一個關於行動市場狀況的問題。與過去兩年不同的是,今年早些時候,有消息指出LG Display將提前獲得批准,並將如期開始量產。去年有一些產能擴張的投資,市場對人工智慧相關需求的成長抱有很高的預期。

  • So if you could provide us with some color on the smartphone OLED or shipment in the first and the second half of the year. We would appreciate that next we'll go to them.

    (聽不清楚)重新負責小型展示的規劃與管理。首先,由於我們客戶的情況,我們無法向您提供任何有關批量生產和發貨計劃的具體信息,請您諒解。

  • However, based on the current market situation, what I can say is that the overall smartphone market growth will be slow and competition among them and the smartphone makers will continue to intensify. However, according to a research institutions reports, the plastic OLED based smartphone market is expected to grow by a small margin. And this is where we are focusing on right now.

    但從目前的市場狀況來看,我可以說的是,智慧型手機市場整體成長將會緩慢,智慧型手機廠商與智慧型手機廠商之間的競爭將會持續加劇。然而,根據研究機構的報告,基於塑膠OLED的智慧型手機市場預計將小幅成長。這就是我們現在關注的重點。

  • For the past two years, we had some issues in the early supply of older panels for smartphones. However, this year we already put in place our plans and infrastructure for a tiny mass production and stable supply. So we believe that we will be able to produce positive outcomes.

    過去兩年,我們在智慧型手機舊面板的早期供應方面遇到了一些問題。然而,今年我們已經落實了小批量生產和穩定供應的計畫和基礎設施。因此,我們相信我們將能夠取得積極成果。

  • And we're planning to increase our panel shipment compared to the previous year based on the strengthened production capacity and expanded production infrastructure, which is expected to bring about positive improvement in our revenue and profits.

    我們計劃在產能增強和生產基礎設施擴大的基礎上,比去年增加面板出貨量,預計這將為我們的收入和利潤帶來積極的改善。

    我(聽不清楚)負責中型顯示器的規劃和管理,雖然我們看到IT產業復甦的延遲和麵板製造商之間的競爭加劇,但我們仍然對產品組合的差異化方面非常有信心LG Display擁有IT產業的潛力。

    我們的經營基於外部環境將長期持續不確定的假設,我們正在生產營運和包裝優化方面採取各種措施來削減成本。

  • And these are our initiatives to transform our business structure to one that can be profitable even under the current market situations like what we have now and we will make sure to produce positive results going forward.

    這些是我們將業務結構轉變為即使在當前市場情況下也能獲利的舉措,我們將確保在未來產生積極的成果。

  • So moving on to other market situations for IT applications, they vary by IT application category. As for the monitors of the movement, may be different by B2C and B2B as well as the leading products by brands. But overall, on the annual basis, we see that (inaudible) and the panel is going to grow by a slight margin.

    因此,轉向 IT 應用程式的其他市場情況,它們因 IT 應用程式類別而異。至於運動顯示器,可能會因B2C和B2B以及品牌的主導產品而有所不同。但總體而言,在年度基礎上,我們看到(聽不清楚)並且該面板將略有增長。

  • Compared to the monitor. The notebook PC is expected to be rather sluggish, the -- on the set area, there is a negative growth expected by a slight margin, but the panel demand is expected to grow compared to the previous year.

    與顯示器相比。筆記型電腦預計將相當低迷,在設定面積上,預計將出現小幅負增長,但面板需求預計將比去年有所增長。

  • However, the high end market is likely to be slow in its recovery. This is where we have competitive advantage. So we are carefully monitoring the demand trend in the market. And finally, the panel price for IT applications is expected to remain flat on a year-over-year basis.

    然而,高端市場的復甦可能會很緩慢。這就是我們具有競爭優勢的地方。因此,我們正在仔細監測市場的需求趨勢。最後,IT 應用的面板價格預計將比去年同期保持持平。
