Top South Korean cosmetics maker Amorepacific Corp. suffered a net loss of 58.9 billion won in the fourth quarter, increasing 1.7 percent from the 57.9 billion won a year ago, mainly due to the pandemic's impact.

However, online sales soared by about 50 percent.
The company also posted a 9.2 million won operating loss in the quarter, after enjoying a 45.9 billion won operating profit during the same period a year before. Sales plunged 13.3 percent to 1.16 trillion won during the said period.
