LG.PHILIPS LCD REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2005 RESULTS

 

SEOUL, Korea (April 11, 2005) – LG.Philips LCD (NYSE: LPL, KRX: 034220), one of the world’s leading TFT-LCD manufacturers, today reported unaudited earnings results based on consolidated Korean GAAP for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005. Amounts in Korean Won are translated into US dollars at the noon buying rate in effect on March 31, 2005, which was KRW 1,015.4 per US dollar

 

    Sales in the first quarter of 2005 increased by 7% to KRW 2,064 billion (USD 2,033 million) from sales of KRW 1,933 billion (USD 1,904 million) in the fourth quarter of 2004. Sales decreased by 6% in the first quarter of 2005 from KRW 2,188 billion (USD 2,155 million) in the first quarter of 2004 due to decreases in panel prices. First quarter 2005 sales comparisons, from both a sequential and year-on-year perspective, were also impacted by the Korean Won appreciation against the US dollar during this period.

 

    Operating income in the first quarter of 2005 decreased to a loss of KRW 135 billion (USD 133 million) from a profit of KRW 2 billion (USD 2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2004 and from a profit of KRW 699 billion (USD 688 million) in the first quarter of 2004.

 

    EBITDA in the first quarter of 2005 decreased by 35% to KRW 269 billion (USD 265 million) from EBITDA of KRW 412 billion (USD 406 million) in the fourth quarter of 2004. EBITDA decreased by 72% in the first quarter of 2005 from KRW 976 billion (USD 961 million) in the first quarter of 2004.

 

    Net income in the first quarter of 2005 decreased to a loss of KRW 79 billion (USD 78 million) from a net profit of KRW 35 billion (USD 34 million) in the fourth quarter of 2004 and from a net profit of KRW 628 billion (USD 618 million) in the first quarter of 2004.

 

“Despite challenging market conditions, we continue to execute and perform in line with our plans,” said Bon Joon Koo, CEO of LG.Philips LCD. “As a result of our ongoing, strong ramp-up of our sixth generation factory, ‘P6’, we grew our total net display area shipped by 24 percent in the first quarter sequentially. Our seventh generation TFT-LCD facility, ‘P7’, construction remains on track for mass production to begin in the first half of 2006. We continue to believe in the growth opportunities for the TFT-LCD industry, as LCDs evolve as the flat-panel of choice for HDTV content.”

First Quarter Financial Review

 

Revenue and Cost

 

Revenues decreased by 6% to KRW 2,064 billion (USD 2,033 million) in the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, from KRW 2,188 billion (USD 2,155 million) in the corresponding period of 2004 due to decreases in panel prices and the strong appreciation of the Korean Won. The effect of the overall decrease in panel prices was partially offset by an increase in the volume of large and wide panels for notebook computers, desktop monitors and TVs. The increase in volume shipments was in response to the growing market needs for large and wide flat panels, especially for large size TV panels. TFT-LCD panels for desktop monitors, notebook computers, TVs and applications accounted for 56%, 18%, 22% and 4% respectively on a revenue basis in the first quarter of 2005, compared to 53%, 27%, 15% and 5% respectively on a revenue basis in the fourth quarter of 2004.

 

Overall, LG.Philips LCD shipped a total of 958,000 square meters of net display area, a 24% sequential quarterly increase, with an average selling price per square meter of net display area of USD 2,085 in the first quarter of 2005. This represents a decline in the selling price per square meter of net display area of approximately 10% compared to the average of the fourth quarter of 2004, and a decline of 9% at the end of the first quarter as compared to the end of the fourth quarter of 2004.

 

The cost of goods sold per square meter of net display area shipped was KRW 2,177 thousand (USD 2,144) for the first quarter of 2005, down 2.3% from the fourth quarter of 2004. Total cost of goods sold increased to KRW 2,102 billion (USD 2,070 million), or 48% year-on-year and 14% compared to the fourth quarter of 2004, as a result of increased volumes shipped as well as an increase in large and wide panels, especially in the TV segment.

 

“While the first quarter was challenging due to the strengthening of the Korean Won and a difficult pricing environment, we did see some positive emerging trends,” said Ron Wirahadiraksa, Chief Financial Officer of LG.Philips LCD. “During this quarter, the average LCD size increased with the adoption of large and wide LCD monitors and the growing popularity of LCD TVs. To meet the increase in demand, we continue to focus on effectively using our resources to serve our customers and improve operational efficiency.”

 

Liquidity

 

As of March 31, 2005, LG.Philips LCD had KRW 1,350 billion (USD 1,330 million) of cash and cash equivalents. Total debt as of March 31, 2005, was KRW 3,030 billion (USD 2,984 million) with a net-debt-to-equity ratio of 30% compared to the 23% at the end of the fourth quarter of 2004.

 

During the first quarter of 2005, LG.Philips LCD issued KRW 400 billion of Korean Won-denominated fixed rate bonds. The capital raised is being used for capital expenditures.

 

Capital Spending

 

Capital expenditures, on a cash basis, in the first quarter of 2005 decreased to KRW 453 billion (USD 446 million) from KRW 473 billion (USD 466 million) in the fourth quarter of 2004, and from KRW 730 billion (USD 719 million) in the first quarter of 2004. Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2005 were mainly used for investments in P7.

Utilization and Capacity

 

Total input capacity on an area basis increased approximately 13% in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the fourth quarter, due mainly to the ramp-up of P6. P6 averaged 55,000 input sheets per month for the first quarter of 2005.

 

Industry Outlook

 

The following expectations are based on current information as of April 11, 2005. The Company does not expect to update its expectations until next quarter’s earnings release. However, the Company may update its full business outlook, or any portion thereof, at any time for any reason.

 

“As we have previously stated, we expect the industry supply/demand balance will begin to stabilize and then show signs of strengthening later in the year, mainly due to the growing demand for LCD TVs,” commented Mr. Wirahadiraksa.

 

LG.Philips LCD expects to increase its output of net display area shipped at a double digit rate for the second quarter of 2005, compared to the first quarter of 2005, in order to meet the anticipated market growth and to satisfy customers’ needs. At the same time, due to market pricing conditions, the Company expects its ASP per square meter to decline at a single digit rate at the end of the second quarter of 2005, compared to the end of the first quarter in 2005. In terms of the EBITDA margin, the Company anticipates mid to high teens for Q2 05.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.

 

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. We caution you that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Such factors include, but are not limited to: our highly competitive environment; the cyclical nature of our industry; our ability to introduce new products on a timely basis; our dependence on growth in the demand for our products; our ability to successfully execute our expansion strategy; our dependence on key personnel; and general economic and political conditions, including those related to the TFT-LCD industry; possible disruptions in business activities caused by natural and human-induced disasters, including terrorist activity and armed conflict; and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Additional information as to these and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements can be found in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

This presentation also includes information regarding our historical financial performance through March 31, 2005, and our expectations regarding future performance as reflected in certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

EBITDA Reconciliation (Continued)

 

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus: interest income (expense); provision (benefit) for income taxes; depreciation of property, plant and equipment; amortization of intangible assets; and amortization of debt issuance cost. EBITDA is a key financial measure used by our senior management to internally evaluate the performance of our business and for other required or discretionary purposes. Specifically, our significant capital assets are in different stages of depreciation, and because we do not have separate operating divisions, our senior management uses EBITDA internally to measure the performance of these assets on a comparable basis. We also believe that the presentation of EBITDA will enhance an investor’s understanding of our operating performance as we believe it is commonly reported and widely used by analysts and investors in our industry. It also provides useful information for comparison on a more comparable basis of our operating performance and those of our competitors, who follow different accounting policies. For example, depreciation on most of our equipment is made based on a four-year useful life while most of our competitors use different depreciation schedules from our own. EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, cash flows from operating activities or net income, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our calculation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
