LG Household & Health Care’s beverage unit reported its first quarterly operating loss since acquiring the local Coca-Cola bottling business nearly two decades ago, leading to headcount reductions. The refreshment segment recorded a 9.9 billion won ($6.7 million) operating loss in Q4 2025, driven by changing consumer tastes and distribution environments. The company is also undergoing a wider corporate restructuring due to a significant earnings decline, though a sale of its Coca-Cola operations is not under consideration.
