LOTTE Fine Chemical reported sales of KRW 443.4 billion and an operating profit of KRW 27.6 billion, benefiting from rising international chlorine-based product prices and maintenance completion.
Energy Materials Challenges
LOTTE Energy Materials posted sales of KRW 143.7 billion and an operating loss of KRW 34.3 billion. Despite efforts to improve productivity, losses persisted due to customer-side adjustments. The company plans to expand strategic sales of high-value AI circuit foil and ESS battery foil amid challenging external conditions.
