Lotte Corp (004990.KS) Q1 2026: Equity Swing Flips Net Income, Common EPS Stays Negative
Lotte's consolidated earnings crossed into positive territory for the first time in four quarters, but the reversal rests almost entirely on a ₩102.4 billion swing in equity-method income from associates — not operational recovery — leaving common shareholders still in the red after hybrid bond interest deductions.
