Young Soo Kwon, CEO of LG Display, said, “Last quarter was a notable quarter for us. Our performance was encouraging despite the seasonally slow market condition. In addition, we have changed our corporate name from “LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd.” to “LG Display Co., Ltd.” and transit into a single Representative Director’s organization at the Annual General Meeting according to the change in corporate governance following the reduction of Philips’ equity. The new name reflects our intention to expand our business scope and diversify the business model for sustainable growth in the future. While there were changes in our corporate governance, we remain committed to maintain our integrity, being transparent and consistent, accompanied by our competent Directors in the Board.”
“As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our strength and to successfully implement a profitable growth strategy in this dynamic industry, we have been seeking various possibilities for forming strategic alliances, which are gradually bearing fruits. For instance, we have recently signed a cross license agreement with Kodak for AMOLED business. Also, Skyworth agreed to invest in our Guangzhou module plant. Furthermore, we have a plan to set up an R&D Joint Venture with Skyworth for developing LCD TV especially for Chinese customers. Going forward, we remain committed to achieve sustainable growth by emphasizing collaboration with our customers and investing in technology leadership, ultimately generating greater shareholder value.” Mr. Kwon concluded.
First Quarter Financial Review

Revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, increased by 48% to KRW 4,036 billion (USD 4,083 million) from KRW 2,722 billion (USD 2,753 million) for the corresponding period of 2007. TFT-LCD panels for TVs, monitors, notebook PCs and other applications accounted for 44%, 26%, 24% and 6%, respectively, on a revenue basis in the first quarter of 2008.
Overall, the Company shipped a total of 3.2 million square meters of net display area in the first quarter of 2008, a decrease of 7% quarter-on-quarter. The average selling price per square meter of net display area shipped was USD 1,339, which was a decrease of approximately 3% compared to the average of the fourth quarter of 2007. The ending average selling price per square meter was USD 1,323, a decrease of approximately 4% compared to the end of the fourth quarter of 2007.

Capacity
Total production input capacity on an area basis decreased approximately 1% in the first quarter. It was mainly due to retooling and debottlenecking activities we conducted throughout our fabs in order to maximize our input capacity and shipment.
Outlook
The following expectations are based on information as of April 10, 2008. The Company does not expect to update its expectations until next quarter’s earnings announcement. However, the Company reserves the right to update its full business outlook, or any portion thereof, at any time and for any reason.
James Jeong, the newly appointed CFO of LG Display, commented,
“Generally, our performance in the first quarter of 2008 came in better than the guidance provided last quarter, which has proven that we have become a more value driven company.”
“Looking ahead, we expect our total shipments to increase by a mid teens percentage with a mid single digit declining average ASP per square meter. Our COGS reduction per square meter basis is expected to decrease by a low single digit percentage in the second quarter. Our CAPEX for this year remains at 3 trillion Korean Won which will be utilized mainly for Gen 8 facilities and production efficiency enhancement for existing facilities.” Mr. Jeong concluded.

Disclaimer
This presentation contains forward-looking statements. We may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in our periodic reports to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and the Korean Financial Supervisory Service, in our annual report to shareholders, in our proxy statements, in our offering circulars and prospectuses, in press releases and other written materials and in oral statements made by our officers, directors or employees to third parties. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections, and therefore you should not place undue reliance on them. 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 United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
This presentation also includes information regarding our historical financial performance through March 31, 2008, and our expectations regarding future performance as reflected in certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by United States Securities and Exchange Commission rules. As required by such rules, we have provided a reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, which is available on our investor relations website at http://www.lgdisplay.com under the file name Q1 2008 Earnings Results Presentation.

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.
We 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.
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.
