South Korea's fifth-largest conglomerate Lotte Group lost more than 1 trillion won (US$853 million) from its operations in China and Hong Kong, data showed Sunday, lending weight to allegations by the owner family's eldest son who is in a power struggle with his younger brother.

The China and Hong Kong-based subsidiaries of Lotte's key listed units, including Lotte Shopping Co. and Lotte Confectionery Co., posted the loss from 2011 to 2014, the data compiled by market tracker CEO Score showed.

The shortfall, which in came at 92.7 billion won in 2011, continued to grow every year to reach 250.8 billion won in 2012 and 580.8 billion won in 2014, according to the data.

The owner family's eldest son Shin Dong-joo, 61, had recently said his younger brother, Dong-bin, did not clearly state the losses to his father, group founder Kyuk-ho.

Lotte Group, a family-controlled conglomerate whose businesses span from food to retail, has been mired in a power struggle between the two sons of 93-year-old Kyuk-ho as they seek to take the crown in the once-in-a-generation leadership change.

When the eldest son was fired from Japan-based Lotte Holdings in January, Dong-bin was believed to have the upper hand. The younger son, 60, who heads Seoul-based Lotte Group, was appointed chairman of the holding firm earlier last month.

Last week, the succession scenario took a twisted turn after the first son flew to Japan with his father and claimed in a Japanese media interview that his father dismissed his younger brother from his posts at the Japanese unit. (Yonhap)




롯데, 최근 4년 중국·홍콩서 1조 손실…신동주 주장 사실로

롯데그룹이 중국과 홍콩에서 최근 4년간 1조원이 넘는 손실을 본 것으로 나타났다.

그룹 경영권을 놓고 동생 신동빈 롯데그룹 회장과 정면 승부를 벌이고 있는 신동주 전 일본 롯데홀딩스 부회장이 제기한 '중국사업 1조원 손실' 주장이 사실로 확인된 셈이다.

2일 기업 경영성과 평가사이트 CEO스코어에 따르면 롯데그룹의 주요 상장사인 롯데쇼핑·롯데제과·롯데칠성음료·롯데케미칼의 중국과 홍콩 법인들이 2011년부터 작년까지 4년간 총 1조1천513억 원의 적자를 낸 것으로 집계됐다.  

연도별 적자액은 2011년 927억원, 2012년 2천508억 원, 2013년 2천270억 원, 2014년 5천808억원 등으로 해가 갈수로 적자 규모가 눈덩이처럼 불어났다.

지난해에는 롯데쇼핑 자회사인 홍콩 롯데쇼핑홀딩스의 적자규모는 3천439억원으로 전년보다 2천491%나 급증, 지난해 중국사업 전체 적자액의 59.2%나 차지했다. 롯데쇼핑홀딩스는 중국내 유통업에 투자하는 기업이다. 

신 전 부회장은 최근 한국과 일본 언론과의 인터뷰에서 '신 롯데그룹 회장이 중국사업에서 1조원 가량 손실을 본 사실을 신격호 롯데그룹 총괄회장에게 제대로 보고하지 않았고, 신 총괄회장이 이를 뒤늦게 알고 격분했다'고 주장한 바 있다.

그러나 롯데그룹은 이를 전면 부인하고 있다.  

이원준 롯데쇼핑 사장은 지난달 31일 기자들에게 '신 총괄회장은 중국사업의 적자 현황을 알고 있었다'고 주장했다. 롯데그룹의 경영 현황을 날마다 보고받고 꼼꼼히 챙기는 신 총괄회장이 4년 이상 계속된 적자를 모를 수 있겠냐는 것이다.

이 사장은 '중국사업 1조원 손실설'과 관련, '롯데백화점의 2011∼2014년 누적 영업적자는 EBITDA 기준으로 1천600억원, 롯데그룹 전체는 3천200억원'이라고 선을 그었다.

여기서 주목할 부분은 이 사장이 제시한 수치가 EBITDA 기준이라는 점이다. EBITDA는 법인세·이자비용·감가상각비·무형자산상각비를 차감하기 전의 영업이익으로, 실제 영업이익과 순이익과는 차이가 있다.  

회계 전문가는 '대체로 EBITDA보다 영업이익, 순이익을 기준으로 할 때 적자 규모가 더 커진다'고 설명했다. (연합뉴스)
