[Wireless Business]

 

A.

Overview

Wireless telecommunications companies provide services based on competitive strengths in handheld devices, affordable pricing, network coverage and an extensive contents library. The Company continues to maintain its reputation as the unparalleled premium network operator in the 5G market on the basis of its technological leadership and network management technology. With the world’s first commercialization of 5G technology in 2019, the Company continues to maintain its position as the top network operator in the 5G era and strives to provide differentiated services to its customers.

In order to strengthen its sales channels, the Company has been offering a variety of fixed-line and wireless telecommunications convergence products through its subsidiary, PS&Marketing. PS&Marketing provides differentiated service to customers through the establishment of new sales channels and product development.

 

2

Additionally, SK O&S, the Company’s subsidiary responsible for the operation of the Company’s networks, including base stations and related transmission and power facilities, provides customers with quality network services and provides the Company with technological know-how in network operations.

The Company has been maintaining solid profitability based on the stable sales generated from its 5G subscribers, together with efficient investments in, and operation of, its wireless networks and stabilization of market competition. The number of the Company’s 5G subscribers, which has reached its maturation stage and continues to grow gradually, recorded 17.24 million subscribers as of March 31, 2025, and accounted for 76% of the Company’s total number of subscribers. The Company seeks to enhance profitability through stable market operations while striving to further expand customer choices and benefits in order to minimize the slowdown in the growths of wireless services revenue and Average Revenue Per User (“ARPU”). The Company seeks to achieve solid growth in profit from its wireless telecommunications business even in the mature 5G market.

 

B.	Industry Characteristics

The telecommunications services market can be categorized into telecommunications services (such as fixed-line, wireless and leased line services, as well as sales intermediary services relating thereto and value-added services) and broadcasting and telecommunications convergence services (including IPTV and integrated fixed-line and wireless telecommunications services). Pursuant to the Telecommunications Business Act, the telecommunications services market can be further classified into basic telecommunications (fixed-line and wireless telecommunications), special category telecommunications (resale of telecommunications equipment, facilities and services) and value-added telecommunications (Internet connection and management, media contents and others).

The size of the domestic telecommunications services market is determined based on various factors specific to Korea, including the size of the population that uses telecommunications services and telecommunications expenditures per capita. While it is possible for Korean telecommunications service providers to provide services abroad through acquisitions or otherwise, foreign telecommunications services markets have their own characteristics depending, among others, on the regulatory environment and demand for telecommunications services.

 

C.	Growth Potential

The Korean mobile communications market is considered to have reached its maturation stage with more than a 100% penetration rate. However, the Korean mobile communications market continues to improve in the quality of services with the help of advances in network-related technology and the development of highly advanced smartphones which enable the provision of new information and communications technology (“ICT”) services for advanced multimedia contents, mobile commerce, mobility and other related services. In addition, the ultra-low latency and high capacity characteristics of 5G networks as well as the advancement of artificial intelligence (“AI”) are expected to accelerate the introduction of new services and the growth of Internet-of-Things (“IoT”)-based business-to-business (“B2B”) businesses.

D.	Domestic and Overseas Market Conditions

The Korean mobile communications market includes the entire population of Korea with mobile communications service needs, and almost every Korean is considered a potential user. Sales revenue related to data services has been growing due to the increasing popularity of smartphones and high-speed wireless networks. There is also a growing importance of the B2B segment, which creates added value by selling and developing various solutions. The telecommunications industry is a regulated industry requiring license and approval from the MSIT.

In the wireless business, industry players compete on the basis of the following three main competitive elements:

 

3

(i) brand competitiveness, which refers to the overall sense of recognition and loyalty experienced by customers with respect to services and values provided by a company, including the images created by a company’s comprehensive activities and communications on top of the actual services rendered;

(ii) product and service competitiveness, which refers to the fundamental criteria for wireless telecommunications services, including voice quality, service coverage, broad ranges of rate plans, diversified mobile Internet services, price and quality of devices, and customer service quality, as well as the ability to develop new services that meet customer needs in a market environment defined by convergence; and

(iii) sales competitiveness, which refers to novel and diversified marketing methods and the strength of the distribution network.

Set forth below is the historical market share of the Company (excluding MVNO subscribers).

[Fixed-line Business]

 

A.

Overview

SK Broadband engages in the fixed-line telecommunications business, which includes the provision of high-speed Internet, telecommunications, leased lines and data center services. SK Broadband’s business also includes the media business segment, which includes the provision of IPTV and cable TV services. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, SK Broadband recorded Won 1.11 trillion in revenue on a consolidated basis, which represented a 2.2% increase from Won 1.09 trillion for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Such increase was primarily attributable to the growth in the number of higher-value business-to-customer (“B2C”) subscribers and the growth of the B2B business primarily focused on new data centers.

The Company, through its consolidated subsidiary Home&Service, performs tasks related to the installation and troubleshooting of Internet and IPTV services, providing customers with a stable communication and broadcasting environment. Home&Service also operates various lifestyle partnership businesses including rental and security services along with a wide range of home services including those related to AI and IoT.

SK Telink, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, engages in the international call services and value-added telecommunications businesses. SK International Call “00700” service is Korea’s leading international call service, offering premium call quality and differentiated benefits through direct international lines. SK Telink has established a high-quality network environment by partnering with the world’s largest telecommunications companies. SK Telink also operates an MVNO service, “SK 7Mobile,” which offers quality services at reasonable rates. SK Telink is increasing its efforts to develop low-cost distribution channels and create niche markets through targeted marketing towards select customer segments including foreign workers, middle-aged adults and students.

 

B.	Industry Characteristics

The domestic telecommunications service industry displays the typical characteristics of a domestic industry given that its coverage area is limited to Korea. As a result, the size of the industry is greatly affected by the domestic user population and the level of telecommunications service expenditures in light of the domestic income level. Domestic telecommunications companies may expand overseas through mergers and acquisitions or direct expansion, but the overseas telecommunications service industries are subject to inherently different industry characteristics from the domestic one, depending on the regulatory and demand characteristics of each country.

The broadcasting business involves the planning, programming or production of broadcasting programs and the process of transmitting them to viewers through telecommunications facilities. The broadcasting market can primarily be categorized into terrestrial broadcasting, fixed-line TV broadcasting, satellite broadcasting and programming-providing businesses, in each case pursuant to the Broadcasting Act, as well as Internet multimedia broadcasting business pursuant to the Internet Multimedia Broadcast Services Act.

 

4

The Company engages in the fixed-line TV broadcasting business, which is defined as the business of managing and operating fixed-line TV broadcasting stations (including their facilities and employees for the purpose of providing multi-channel broadcasting) and providing broadcasts through transmission and line facilities. The Internet multimedia broadcasting refers to the broadcasting of programs through a combination of various contents including data, video, voice, sound and/or e-commerce, including real-time broadcasting, while guaranteeing a consistent service quality through a bidirectional Internet protocol using a broadband integrated information network.

As a result of the government’s direct and indirect control over the fixed-line telecommunications industry, ranging from service licensing to business activities, the industry’s growth potential and degree of competition are greatly affected by the government’s regulatory policies. The fixed-line telecommunications industry is also a technology-intensive industry that evolves rapidly and continuously through the development of communications technology and equipment, which requires proactive responses in meeting the various needs of subscribers by developing new services and penetrating the market. Fixed-line telecommunications services have become essential commodities and act as the foundation for integration and convergence with various other services. The essential nature of such services provides stable demand, resulting in low sensitivity to economic conditions.

In addition, the Korean fixed-line services industry is marked by a high level of market concentration, as the government is highly selective in granting telecommunications business licenses. While the competitive landscape of the fixed-line and wireless services markets is dominated by its three leading operators, the Company (including SK Broadband), KT and LG U+, the intensity of competition is growing as digitalization of communication technologies and devices leads to the convergence of fixed-line and wireless services, as well as broadcasting and telecommunications, and technology for faster data communications services is developed.

In the high-speed Internet services market, the demand for Giga Internet services has been continuing to increase due to the popularization of mobile and home IoT devices and the expansion of large media services including video streaming services.

In the pay TV market, competition for content has been intensifying, at the center of which are large over-the-top operators with exclusive content. Reflecting a rapid change in content consumption patterns and behaviors of viewers, the Company is preparing for new growth in the home platform domain by providing customized services using ICT convergence technologies such as AI and big data in addition to differentiated contents.

In the corporate business market, the Company expects to see growth in new business areas, following the emergence of new services based on novel technology, including AI data centers. The Company is continuing its efforts to generate stable returns by strengthening its competitiveness in the traditional fixed line-based business through expansion of core infrastructure including data centers and leased lines, for which market demand has been continually growing.

D.	Cyclical Nature and Seasonality

There is little difference among the services provided by operators of high-speed Internet, fixed-line telephone and broadcasting services. Such services, which demonstrate characteristics of essential public utilities, are subject to a subscriber-based business model, and are not sensitive to cyclical economic changes. Due to the low income elasticity of telecommunications services, the overall telecommunications market is not expected to be particularly affected by an economic downturn.

***	Market shares of high-speed Internet and fixed-line telephone represent the market shares as of February 28, 2025 and market shares of IPTV and cable TV represent the average subscriber rate in the first half of 2024.

The Company is engaged in a number of business areas including high-speed Internet, home telephone, corporate business, IPTV and cable TV pursuant to the relevant communications regulations such as the Telecommunications Business Act, the Internet Multimedia Broadcast Services Act and the Broadcasting Act. In each of its principal business areas, the Company competes on the basis of price, service quality and speed. In the IPTV business, the ability to offer complex services and differentiated contents are becoming increasingly important. General telecommunications businesses operate in a licensed industry with a high barrier of entry, which is dominated by the Company, KT and LG U+.

[Other Businesses]

 

A.	Other businesses

The designed alphabet “B” is registered in all business categories for trademarks (total of 45). The number of registered patents and trademarks is subject to continual change due to the acquisition of new rights, expiration of terms, abandonments and dispositions.

 

C.	Business-related Pollutants and Environmental Protection

[SK Telecom]

The Company does not directly engage in any manufacturing and therefore does not undertake any industrial processes that emit pollutants into the air or industrial processes in which hazardous materials are used. Nevertheless, the Company clearly recognizes the severity of the climate crisis and has been diligently fulfilling its social obligations by establishing a systematic and practical environmental management strategy system. Under the vision of “realizing a sustainable future based on AI” and to achieve Net Zero by 2050, the Company is making efforts to (1) preemptively respond to climate change, (2) improve its environmental management system and (3) create an eco-friendly green culture. To this end, the Company was one of the first information technology companies in Korea to join the RE100 (Renewable Electricity 100%) initiative and signed a green premium contract with Korea Electric Power Corporation. The Company has been implementing company-wide adoption of renewable energy through efforts such as installing solar power generation equipment in its office buildings and base stations. In addition, the Company leads in energy savings and environmental protections based on AI technology, and recently became the first company in the telecommunications industry to obtain carbon emission rights by reducing greenhouse gas through integration of telecommunications equipment and technology upgrades.

[SK Broadband]

SK Broadband does not directly engage in any manufacturing processes that emit environmental pollutants, and more than 99% of its greenhouse gas emissions is indirect emissions from its use of external electricity. SK Broadband was selected as a business subject to allocation of emission permits as part of Korea’s greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme that commenced in 2015, and it actively fulfills its obligations and consistently achieves the targets set by the government.

In 2021, SK Broadband declared its goal to achieve Net Zero by 2045 in an effort to actively participate in the international community’s response to climate change. Prior to the declaration, SK Broadband had already subscribed to the RE100 initiative in 2020. Since 2021, SK Broadband has participated in Korea Electrical Power Corporation’s renewable energy power purchase program, “Green Premium,” to purchase renewable energy and has installed additional solar power generation facilities to increase the self-production and use of renewable energy.

2. Dividends and Others

 

A.	Dividend Policy

The Company seeks to enhance its enterprise value through distribution of cash dividends based on stable business performance and by increasing long-term shareholder returns based on sustainable growth. The Company has established and is implementing a capital allocation strategy that balances the use of additional free cash flow generated from enhancement in performance and operational improvement across shareholder returns, investments for growth and enhancement in financial structure.

The Company determines the amount of its shareholder return in consideration of a comprehensive set of factors including its business performance, investment plans, financial status and prospects, and the Company may make shareholder return in the form of cash or shares in accordance with its Articles of Incorporation. Cash dividends are determined based on the Company’s consideration of investment needs for its continued future growth as well as its annual business performance and overall cash flow status. In the case of share dividends, the type of the shares to be distributed may be determined pursuant to the resolution of the Company’s general meeting of shareholders.

In accordance with the global trend towards stable dividend distribution, the Company adopted a quarterly dividend distribution policy through the approval of certain amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation at the 37^th General Meeting of Shareholders held in March 2021 and has been distributing quarterly dividends since the second quarter of 2021.

In April 2024, the Company disclosed its shareholder return policy for fiscal years 2024 through 2026, under which the total amount of shareholder return for each year is expected to be at least 50% of the adjusted profit for the year on a consolidated basis. Shareholder returns are expected to be provided in the form of cash dividend distribution and/or through acquisition and cancellation of the Company’s treasury shares. The Board of Directors will make its determinations on dividends in accordance with such policy.

The Company has engaged in repurchases and cancelations of its own shares from time to time to enhance its enterprise value in consideration of the market price of the Company’s shares and its financial resources. From 2020 to 2021, the Company purchased approximately Won 500 billion of treasury shares, and in May 2021, the Company canceled 8,685,568 units of previously acquired treasury shares (10.76% of the total number of shares issued at the time) to enhance shareholder value. In addition, in 2023, the Company purchased approximately Won 300 billion of treasury shares, and in February 2024, the Company canceled 4,043,091 units of treasury share (1.85% of the total number of shares issued at the time).

Policies for Loss Allowance

The Company establishes loss allowances based on the likelihood of recoverability of trade and other receivables based on their aging at the end of the period and past customer default experience for the past three years. With respect to trade receivables relating to wireless telecommunications services, the Company considers the likelihood of recovery based on past customer default experience and the length of default in connection with the type of default (e.g., whether the customer’s service has been terminated or is continued). Consistent with customary practice, the Company writes off trade and other receivables for which the prescription period has passed or that are determined to be impossible or economically too costly to collect, including receivables that are less than Won 200,000 and more than six months overdue and receivables that have been determined to be the subject of identity theft.
