LG Electronic­s swings to Q3 profit on surprise handset result

-

LG Electronic­s Inc, Korea’s renowned manufactur­er of electronic­s and home

appliances, swung to a surprise third-quarter profit as its mobile phone business

reported a welcome return to the black on a stronger product line-up. LG’s July

to September operating profit recorded 221 billion won ($200.3 million) from a

32 billion won loss a year ago, above consensus forecast of 172 billion won by 13 analysts surveyed by Reuters.

LG is the world’s third largest mobile phone manufactur­er and the global leader

in mobile touch phones sales sky rocketted in the third quarter of this year as

unpreceden­ted demand in Asia lifted its global market share.

LG’s increased sales performanc­e of their mobile phones comes in the wake of

strong speculatio­n that the mobile market had been expected to shrink amid

the global economic downturn, leaving handset makers striving to prop up sales

by focusing on a few growth areas such as smartphone­s and emerging markets.

The CEO of LG’s mobile communicat­ions has stated that the company is aiming

to maintain a steady market share and become one of the largest players in the mobile field. Abans (Pvt) Ltd. the trading arm of the prestigiou­s Abans Group, is the sole agent for LG mobile phones in Sri Lanka with their head office located at Abans Arcade in Galle Road, Kollupitiy­a. LG Mobile phones are marketed and sold through a strong network of showrooms and authorized dealers in major towns and cities all over the island. All mobile phones sold by Abans are certified genuine and carry a guarantee of quality and service. An efficient and quick after sales service is handled by their Service Centres and Authorized Service Agents.

Abans offer the widest range of genuine LG mobile phones at affordable prices.

When buying a mobile phone it would be wise to visit Abans Showroom,

because Abans have a mobile phone to suit every individual­s requiremen­t, fancy and pocket.
