III. Reference Relating to the Business

1. Overview

A. Industry

(1) Industry characteristics and growth potential

 

   

TFT-LCD technology is one of the most widely used technologies in the manufacture of flat panel displays and the demand for flat panel displays is growing. The flat panel display industry is characterized by high entry barriers due to rapidly evolving technology, capital-intensive characteristics, and the significant investments required to achieve economies of scale, among other factors. There is strong competition between a limited number of players within the industry and production capacity in the industry, including ours, is being increased.

 

   

The demand for LCD panels for Notebook PCs & Monitors has been closely related to the IT industry cycle. The demand for LCD panels for TVs is growing with the start of HDTV broadcasting and as LCD TV is anticipated to play a key role in the digital display area. We expect competition between TFT-LCD and PDP technologies to intensify in the area of large flat TV products. In addition, LCD panel markets for applications, such as mobile phones, PDAs, medical applications and automobile navigation systems, among others, are growing steadily.

 

   

The average selling prices of our display panels have declined in general and are expected to continually decline with time irrespective of industry-wide fluctuations as a result of, among other factors, technology advances and cost reductions.

(2) Cyclicality of LCD industry

 

   

The TFT-LCD business has high cyclicality as well as being a capital intensive business. In spite of the increase in demand for products, this industry has experienced periodic volatility caused by imbalances between demand and supply due to capacity expansion within the industry.

 

   

Intense competition and expectations of demand growth may lead panel manufacturers to invest in manufacturing capacity on similar schedules, resulting in a surge in capacity when production is ramped up at new fabrication facilities.

 

   

During such surges in capacity growth, our customers can exert and have exerted strong downward pricing pressure, resulting in sharp declines in average selling prices and significant fluctuations in our gross margins. Conversely, demand surges and fluctuations in the supply chain can lead to price increases.


(3) Competitiveness

 

   

Our ability to compete successfully also depends on factors both within and outside our control, including product prices, relationship with our customers, timely investment, development of new and premium products through leading technology, our ability to obtain cost competitiveness through innovations in our operations, success of our end-brand customers in marketing their brands and products, component and raw material supply costs, foreign exchange rates and general economic and industry conditions.

 

   

Most importantly, cost leadership and stable and long-term relationships with customers are critical to secure profit even in a buyer’s market.

 

   

A substantial portion of our sales is attributable to a limited group of end-brand customers and their designated system integrators. The loss of these end-brand customers, as a result of customers entering into strategic supplier arrangements with our competitors or otherwise, would thus result in reduced sales.

 

   

Developing new products and technologies that can be differentiated from those of our competitors is critical to the success of our business. We take active measures to protect our intellectual property internationally by obtaining patents and undertaking monitoring activities in our major markets. It is also necessary to recruit and retain the experienced key staffs and highly skilled line operators.

(4) Sourcing material

 

   

Materials are sourced in-house (color filters) as well as from domestic and overseas vendors. However, the domestic portion has grown due to the active participation of domestic vendors.

 

   

The shortage of raw materials may arise temporarily due to the rapid increase in demand for raw materials from capacity expansion in the TFT-LCD industry.

 

   

We have purchased, and expect to purchase, a substantial portion of our equipment from a limited number of qualified foreign and local suppliers. From time to time, increased demand for new equipment may cause lead times to extend beyond those normally required by the equipment vendors.

(5) Others

 

   

Most TFT-LCD panel makers are located in Asia.

 

a. Korea:   LG.Philips LCD, Samsung Electronics (including Joint Venture between Samsung
  Electronics and Sony Corporation), BOE-Hydis

b. Taiwan: AU Optronics, Chi Mei Optoelectronics, CPT, etc.

c. Japan: Sharp, Hitachi, etc.

d. China: SVA-NEC, BOE-OT, etc.


B. Company

(1) Company overview

 

   

The commercial production of our TFT-LCD business began in September 1995 at P1, which was then the first fabrication facility of LG Electronics. At the end of 1998, LG Electronics and Semicon transferred their respective TFT-LCD related business to LG Soft Co., Ltd (currently LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd.). LG.Philips LCD became a J/V between LG Electronics and Philips Electronics in September 1999. In July 2004, we completed initial public offering and listed our common stock on the Korea Exchange and our ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange. We currently operate seven fabrication facilities located in Gumi and Paju, Korea and seven module facilities located in Gumi & Paju, Korea, Nanjing & Guangzhou, China and Wroclaw, Poland.

 

   

We became the first LCD maker in the world to commence commercial production at a 4th generation fab (P3) in July 2000 and at a 5th generation fab (P4) in March 2002, and we started mass production at our 6th generation fab (P6) in August 2004, which allows us to produce LCD panels for large TVs and monitors. With the commencement of mass production at our 7th generation fab (P7) in January 2006 and our decision to invest in an 8th generation fab (P8), we are expanding our production capacity in line with growing large-sized LCD TV market.

 

   

Despite the difficult business environment contributed by factors such as volatile exchange rates, continued high oil prices and the sub-prime mortgage crisis in the U.S., our non-consolidated sales revenue in 2007 increased by 39% year-on-year to KRW 14,163 billion, backed by continued growth of TFT-LCD product demand, especially in the large-sized LCD TV market, and our consistent efforts to expand our sales. We recorded a non-consolidated operating income of KRW 1,491 billion and a non-consolidated net income of KRW 1,344 billion in 2007 from development of cost innovation models, reduction of purchasing unit cost, maximization of equipment effectiveness through Max Capa / Min Loss activities and reduction of overhead cost and other active cost reduction measures as well as increased sales revenue. Our consolidated sales revenue in 2007 increased by 35% year-on-year to KRW 14,352 billion. Our consolidated operating income was KRW 1,504 billion and our consolidated net income was KRW 1,344 billion in 2007.

 

   

We developed basic technologies for new businesses, such as flexible displays and OLEDs, and diverse customer oriented technologies.

 

   

In sales, we expanded our customer base by strengthening our price management capabilities and active customer satisfaction management, etc.

(4) Market characteristics

 

   

LCD is a key product for the display industry and the demands for LCD have been steadily rising.

 

   

Due to the recent high growth in the display appliance market for the flat display format, the scale of the LCD market is growing at a rapid rate, resulting in expansion of the market centered mainly in America, Japan, Europe and China.

 

   

The LCD market has experienced a high rate of growth based on IT related products. With expansion of the market for LCD televisions, we expect that the LCD market will continuously grow.

(5) New business etc.

 

   

P7 in our Paju Display Cluster reached an expanded production capacity of over 136 thousand sheets of glass substrates per month in the fourth quarter of 2007 and we have commenced the construction of P8 (8th generation fab) in anticipation of a growth in the 50-inch and larger TFT-LCD market.

 

   

In September 2005, we entered into an agreement to build a “back-end” module production plant in Wroclaw, Poland, becoming the first in the global LCD industry to establish such a production facility in Europe. We broke ground on the plant in June 2006 and commenced mass production in March 2007.

 

   

In May 2006, we entered into an investment agreement with the Guangzhou Development District Administrative Committee to construct a module production plant in Guangzhou, China. By establishing LG.Philips LCD Guangzhou Co. Ltd. in August 2006 and starting mass production at the new module production plant in December 2007, we have established optimal global production base.

 

   

We also plan to strengthen the foundation for future growth by leading the market in the future display technologies which include preparing for the start of the AMOLED business, accelerating the development of flexible display technologies and leading the LED back-light LCD market.

(1) Business Performance in FY 2007

 

   

Despite the difficult business environment contributed by factors such as volatile exchange rates, continued high oil prices and the sub-prime mortgage crisis in the U.S., our non-consolidated sales revenue in 2007 increased by 39% year-on-year to KRW 14,163 billion, backed by continued growth of TFT-LCD product demand, especially in the large-sized LCD TV market, and our consistent efforts to expand our sales. We recorded


 

operating income of KRW 1,491 billion and net income of KRW 1,344 billion in 2007 from development of cost innovation models, reduction of purchasing unit cost, maximization of equipment effectiveness through Max Capa / Min Loss activities and reduction of overhead cost and other active cost reduction measures as well as increased sales revenue.
