Independent Auditor’s Review Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Woori Financial Group Inc.

Reviewed Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Woori Financial Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated interim statement of financial position as of September 30, 2024, the consolidated interim statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, the consolidated interim statement of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and notes, comprising of material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”) No.1034 Interim Financial Reporting, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Review Responsibility

Our responsibility is to issue a report on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements based on our review.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Review Standards for Quarterly and Semiannual Financial Statements established by the Securities and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with K-IFRS No.1034 Interim Financial Reporting.

Other Matters

The procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to review such condensed consolidated interim financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries.

The consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2023, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not accompanying this report, were audited by us in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and their report thereon, dated March 6, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2023, presented for comparative purposes, is not different from that audited by us from which it was derived in all material respects.

The Group has entered into various agreements with structured entities such as asset securitization, structured finance, investment fund, and trust contract. The characteristics of interests and the nature of risks related to unconsolidated structured entities over which the Group does not have control in accordance with K-IFRS 1110 are as follows:

The interests in unconsolidated structured entities that the Group hold are classified into asset securitization, structured finance, investment fund and real-estate trust, based on the nature and the purpose of each structured entity.

Unconsolidated structured entities classified as ‘asset securitization’ are entities that issue asset-backed securities, pay the principal and interest or distributes dividends on asset-backed securities through borrowings or profits from the management, operation and sale of securitized assets. The Group has been purchasing commitments of asset-backed securities or issuing asset-backed securities through credit grants, and recognizes related interest or fee revenue.

The investors receive profits from the operation of the business. The Group recognizes interest revenue, profit or loss from assessment or transactions of financial instruments, or dividend income. With regard to uncertainties involving structured financing, there are entities that provide financial support such as additional fund, guarantees and prioritized credit grants prior to the Group’s intervention, but the Group is exposed to possible losses due to loss of principal from reduction in investment value or irrecoverable loans arising from failure to collect scheduled cash flows and cessation of projects.

BASIS OF PREPARATION AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Group maintains its accounting records in Korean Won and prepares statutory financial statements in the Korean language (Hangul) in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the Republic of Korea (K-IFRS). The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English from the Korean language financial statements. The Group’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements are condensed interim financial statements prepared in applying International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the Republic of Korea (“K-IFRS”) 1034 Interim Finance Reporting for some of periods in which the annual consolidated financial statements belong.

(1)

From the accounting period beginning on January 1, 2024, the Group has newly applied the following standards and interpretations.

 

  1)

Amendments to Korean IFRS 1001 Presentation of Financial Statements – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current, Non-current Liabilities with Covenants

The amendments clarify that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the substantive rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise right to defer settlement of the liability or the expectations of management. Also, the settlement of liability includes the transfer of the entity’s own equity instruments, however, it would be excluded if an option to settle them by the entity’s own equity instruments if compound financial instruments is met the definition of equity instruments and recognized separately from the liability. In addition, covenants that an entity is required to comply with after the end of the reporting period would not affect classification of a liability as current or non-current at the reporting date. When an entity classifies a liability that is subject to the covenants which an entity is required to comply with within twelve months of the reporting date as non-current at the end of the reporting period, the entity shall disclose information in the notes to understand the risk that non-current liabilities with covenants could become repayable within twelve months after the reporting period. The amendments do not have a significant impact on the consolidated interim financial statements.

 

  2)

Amendments to Korean IFRS 1007 Statement of Cash Flows, Korean IFRS 1107 Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Supplier finance arrangements

When applying supplier finance arrangements, an entity shall disclose information about its supplier finance arrangements that enables users of financial statements to assess the effects of those arrangements on the entity’s liabilities and cash flows and on the entity’s exposure to liquidity risk. The amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and earlier application is permitted. There is no impact on the consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with the transitional provision that does not require to disclose the relevant information during the interim reporting period within the fiscal year in which these amendments are first applied.

 

  3)

Amendments to Korean IFRS 1116 Leases – Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback

When subsequently measuring lease liabilities arising from a sale and leaseback, a seller-lessee shall determine lease payments or revised lease payments in a way that the seller-lessee would not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use retained by the seller-lessee. The amendments do not have a significant impact on the consolidated interim financial statements.

  4)

Amendments to Korean IFRS 1001 Presentation of Financial Statements – Disclosure of Cryptographic Assets

The amendments require an additional disclosure if an entity holds cryptographic assets, or holds cryptographic assets on behalf of the customer, or issues cryptographic assets. The amendments do not have a significant impact on the consolidated interim financial statements.

 

(2)

The details of K-IFRSs that have been issued and published since January 1, 2024 but have not yet reached the effective date are as follows:

 

  1)

Amendments to Korean IFRS 1021 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates and 1101 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards – Lack of Exchangeability

When an entity estimates a spot exchange rate because exchangeability between two currencies is lacking, the entity shall disclose related information. The amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025, and earlier application is permitted. The Group is in review for the impact of these amendments on the consolidated interim financial statements.

 

(3)

Material accounting policies and method of computation used in the preparation of the condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, except for the one described below.

 

   

Income tax expense

Income tax expense for the interim period is recognized based on management’s best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. The estimated average annual tax rate is applied to the pre-tax income.

 

3.

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

Material accounting estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated based on a number of factors, including historical experience and expectations of future events that are considered reasonably probable. Accounting estimates calculated based on these definitions may not match actual results.

In preparing interim financial statements, management must apply accounting policies and make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect assets/liabilities and income/expenses. Therefore, actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgments made by management in applying the accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty for the preparation of interim financial statements are consistent with those made for the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group is exposed to various risks that may arise from its operating activities and the main types of risks are credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and etc. The Risk Management Organization analyzes and assesses the level of complex risks in order to manage the risks and the risk management standards such as policies, regulations, management systems and decision-making have been established and operated for sound management of the Group.

The risk management organization is operated by Risk Management Committee, Chief Risk Officer (CRO), and Risk Management Department. The Board of Directors operates a Risk Management Committee comprised of outside directors for professional risk management. The Risk Management Committee plays a role as the top decision-making body in risk management by establishing basic policies for risk management that are in line with the Group’s management strategy and determining the risk level that the Group is willing to take.

The Chief Risk Officer (CRO) assists the Risk Management Committee and operates a Group Risk Management Council comprised of risk management managers of subsidiaries to periodically check and improve the risk burden of external environments and the Group. The risk management department is independent and is in charge of risk management of the Group. It also supports reporting and decision-making of key risk-related issues.

 

(1)

Credit risk

Credit risk represents the possibility of financial losses incurred due to the refusal of the transaction or when the counterparty fails to fulfill its contractual obligations. The goal of credit risk management is to maintain the Group’s credit risk exposure to a permissible degree and to optimize its rate of return considering such credit risk.

 

  1)

Credit risk management

To measure credit risk, the Group considers the possibility of failure in performing the obligation by the counterparties, credit exposure to the counterparty, the related default risk and the rate of default loss. The Group uses the credit rating model to assess the possibility of counterparty’s default risk; and when assessing the obligor’s credit rating, other than quantitative methods utilizing financial statements and others, and assessor’s judgement, the Group utilizes credit rating derived using statistical methods.

In order to manage credit risk limit, the Group establishes the appropriate credit line per obligor, company or industry by monitoring obligor’s credit line, total exposures and loan portfolios when approving the loan.

The Group mitigates credit risk resulting from the obligor’s credit condition by using financial and physical collateral, guarantees, netting agreements and purchase of credit derivatives that have low correlation with the obligor’s credit status. The Group has adopted the comprehensive method to mitigate its credit risk. Credit risk mitigation is reflected in qualifying financial collateral, trade receivables, guarantees, residential and commercial real estate and other collaterals. The Group regularly performs a revaluation of collateral reflecting such credit risk mitigation.

Measurement of expected credit loss

K-IFRS 1109 requires entities to measure loss allowance equal to 12-month expected credit losses or lifetime expected credit losses after classifying financial assets into one of the three stages, depending on the degree of increase in credit risk since their initial recognition.

 

Classification

  

Stage 1

  

Stage 2

  

Stage 3

Definition    No significant increase in credit risk after initial recognition (*)    Significant increase in credit risk after initial recognition    Credit-impaired
Loss allowance    12-month expected credit losses:    Lifetime expected credit losses:
   Expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date    Expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the life of the financial instrument

 

(*)

If the financial instrument has low credit risk at the end of the reporting period, the Group may assume that the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

At the end of each reporting period the Group assesses whether credit risk has significantly been increased since the date of initial recognition. The Group assesses whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition by using credit rating, asset quality level, early warning system, days past due and others. For financial assets whose contractual cash flows have been modified, the Group assesses whether there is a significant increase in credit risk on the same basis.

The Group performs the below assessment to both corporate and retail exposures, and indicators of significant increase in credit risk are as follows:

 

Corporate Exposures

  

Retail Exposures

Asset quality level ‘Precautionary’ or lower

   Asset quality level ‘Precautionary’ or lower

More than 30 days past due

   More than 30 days past due

‘Warning’ level in early warning system

   Significant decrease in credit rating(*)

Debtor experiencing financial difficulties (Capital impairment, Adverse opinion or Disclaimer of opinion by external auditors)

   Deferment of repayment of principal and interest

Significant decrease in credit rating (*)

   Deferment of interest

Deferment of repayment of principal and interest

  

Deferment of interest

  

 

(*)

The Group has applied the below indicators of significant decrease in credit rating since initial recognition as follows, and the estimation method is regularly being monitored.

 

    

Credit rating

  

Significant increased indicator of the credit rating

Corporate    AAA ~ A+    More than or equal to 4 steps
   A- ~ BBB    More than or equal to 3 steps
   BBB- ~ BB+    More than or equal to 2 steps
   BB ~ BB-    More than or equal to 1 step
Retail    1 ~ 3    More than or equal to 3 steps
   4 ~ 5    More than or equal to 2 steps
   6 ~ 9    More than or equal to 1 step

The Group determined that there is no significant increase in credit risk after initial recognition for debt securities, etc. with a credit rating of A + or higher, which are deemed to have low credit risk at the end of the reporting period.

The Group concludes that credit is impaired when financial assets are under conditions stated below:

 

   

When principal and interest of loan is overdue for 90 days or longer due to significant deterioration in credit

 

   

For loans overdue for less than 90 days, when it is determined that not even a portion of the loan will be recovered unless claim actions such as disposal of collaterals are taken

 

   

When other objective indicators of impairment have been noted for the financial asset.

The Group has estimated the allowance for expected credit losses using an estimation model that additionally reflects the forward looking information based on the past experience loss rate data.

Loss allowance is calculated by applying PD (Probability of Default) and LGD (Loss Given Default) estimated for each financial asset in consideration of factors such as obligor type, credit rating and portfolio. The estimates are regularly being reviewed in order to reduce discrepancies with actual losses.

In measuring the expected credit losses, the Group is also using reasonable and supportable macroeconomic indicators such as GDP growth rate, Personal consumption expenditures increase/decrease rate and Won-dollar exchange rate in order to forecast future economic conditions.

The Group is conducting the following procedures to estimate and apply future economic forecast information.

 

   

Development of estimation models by analyzing the correlation between default rates of corporate and retail exposures per year and macroeconomic indicators

 

Major macroeconomic indicators

   Correlation between credit risk and macroeconomic
indicators
GDP growth rate    Negative(-) Correlation

Personal consumption expenditures increase/decrease rate

   Negative(-) Correlation
Won-dollar exchange rate    Positive(+) Correlation

 

   

Calculation of estimated default rate incorporating forward looking by applying estimated macroeconomic indicators provided by verified institutions such as Bank of Korea and National Assembly Budget Office to the estimation model developed

 

   

Forecast of macroeconomic variables

 

  a)

Probability weight

As of September 30, 2024, the probability weights applied to the scenarios of the forecasts of macroeconomic variables is as follows (Unit: %):

Maximum exposure

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk shows the uncertainties related to the maximum possible variation of financial assets’ net value as a result of changes in the specific risk factors, prior to the consideration of collaterals that are recorded at net carrying amount after allowances and other credit enhancements. However, the maximum exposure is the fair value amount (recorded on the books) for derivatives, maximum contractual obligation for payment guarantees and unused amount of commitments for loan commitment.

The maximum exposure to credit risk as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

Subsidiaries such as Woori Bank manage market internal capital limits using the Basel III standard approach, and other subsidiaries manage market risks by applying the simple method.

The Basel III standard approach consists of a sensitivity method that measures linear and nonlinear losses that may occur due to unfavorable fluctuations in market risk factors, bankruptcy risks that may occur due to sudden bankruptcy, and residual risk-bearing equity capital for other losses.

Woori Bank, a major subsidiary subject to Basel III standard approach of market risk management, has the following equity capital required for market risk. (Unit : Korean Won in millions)

Non-trading activities

From the end of 2019 for the Bank and the beginning of 2021 for non-banking subsidiaries, the Bank and its subsidiaries manage and measure interest risk for non-trading activities through ΔNII (Change in Net Interest Income) and ΔEVE (Change in Economic Value of Equity) in accordance with IRRBB (Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book).

ΔNII represents a change in net interest income that may occur over a certain period (e.g. one year) due to changes in interest rates, and ΔEVE indicates the economic value changes in equity capital that could be caused by changes in interest rates affecting the present value of asset, liabilities, and off-balance accounts.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Group may encounter difficulties in meeting obligations from its financial liabilities.

 

  1)

Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk management is to prevent potential cash shortages as a result of mismatching maturity of assets and liabilities or unexpected cash outflows. The consolidated financial liabilities that are relevant to liquidity risk are incorporated within the scope of risk management. Derivatives instruments are excluded from those financial liabilities as they reflect expected cash flows for a pre-determined period.

Assets and liabilities are grouped by account under Asset Liability Management (“ALM”) in accordance with the characteristics of the account. The Group manages liquidity risk by identifying the maturity gap and such gap ratio through various cash flows analysis (i.e. based on remaining maturity and contract period, etc.), while maintaining the gap ratio at or below the target limit.

 

  2)

Maturity analysis of non-derivative financial liabilities

Maturity analysis of derivative financial liabilities

Derivatives held for trading purpose are not managed in accordance with their contractual maturity, since the Group holds such financial instruments with the purpose of disposing or redemption before their maturity. As such, those derivatives are incorporated as “within 3 months” in the table below. Derivatives designated for hedging purpose are estimated by offsetting cash inflows and cash outflows.

The cash flow by the maturity of derivative financial liabilities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

Maturity analysis of off-balance accounts (Payment guarantees, commitments, and etc.)

A payment guarantee represents an irrevocable undertaking that the Group should meet a customer’s obligations to third parties if the customer fails to do so. The loan commitment represents the limit if the Group has promised a credit to the customer. Loan commitments include commercial standby facilities and credit lines, liquidity facilities to commercial paper conduits and utilized overdraft facilities. The maximum limit to be paid by the Group in accordance with guarantees and loan commitment only applies to principal amounts. There are contractual maturities for payment guarantees, such as financial guarantees for debentures issued or loans, unused loan commitments, and other credits, however, under the terms of the guarantees and unused loan commitments, funds should be paid upon demand from the counterparty. Details of off-balance accounts as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

 

     September 30, 2024      December 31, 2023

Operational risk

The Group defines the operational risk that could cause a negative effect on capital resulting from inadequate internal process, labor work and systematic problem or external factors.

 

  1)

Operational risk management

The Group has established and operated a group operational risk management system to cope with new Basel III global regulations, which is implemented since 2023, and the management of operational risks follows the procedures for risk recognition, evaluation, measurement, monitoring and reporting, risk control and mitigation.

 

  2)

Operational risk measurement

The Group measures operational risk capital using the Basel III standardized approach. This approach calculates the required operational risk capital by multiplying the Business Indicator Component (BIC), which represents the scale of operations, with the Internal Loss Multiplier (ILM), which reflects the magnitude of actual historical internal losses relative to the scale of operations.

Operational risk limits are set with the approval of the Risk Management Committee. The Group regularly calculates the operational risk capital and reports any limit breaches to the management and the Risk Management Committee.

Since a reduction in the size of internal loss events leads to a decrease in operational risk capital, it is important to prevent loss events in advance. Accordingly, the Group conducts operational risk management activities using tools such as Risk Control Self-Assessment (RCSA), Key Risk Indicators (KRI), and loss data. Additionally, to ensure continuity of operations in emergency situations such as disasters, the Bank has established a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and conducts annual simulation drills.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

(1)

The fair value hierarchy

The fair value hierarchy for financial instruments is determined by the amount of observable market data. The specific financial instruments characteristics and market condition such as the existence of the transactions among market participants and transparency are reflected to the market observable inputs. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Group maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value of its financial assets and financial liabilities. Fair value is measured based on the perspective of a market participant. As such, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Group’s own assumptions reflect those that market participants would use for measuring the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

The fair value measurement is described in the one of the following three levels used to classify fair value measurements:

 

   

Level 1—fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The types of financial assets or liabilities generally included in Level 1 are publicly traded equity securities, derivatives, and debt securities issued by governmental bodies.

 

   

Level 2—fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). The types of financial assets or liabilities generally included in Level 2 are debt securities not traded in active markets and derivatives traded in OTC but not required significant judgment.

 

   

Level 3—fair value measurements are those derived from valuation technique that include inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The types of financial assets or liabilities generally included in Level 3 are non-public securities and derivatives and debt securities of which valuation techniques require significant judgments and subjectivity.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Group’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to a fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of inherent factors of the asset or liability.

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023

 

Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL, financial liabilities at FVTPL designated as upon initial recognition, financial assets at FVTOCI, and derivative assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value. Fair value is the amount that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Financial instruments are measured at fair value using a quoted market price in active markets. If there is no active market for a financial instrument, the Group determines the fair value using valuation methods. Valuation methods and input variables for each type of financial instruments are as follows:

 

  1)

Valuation methods and input variables for each type of financial instrument classified into level 2 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:

 

    

Valuation methods

  

Input variables

Debt securities

  

Fair value is measured by discounting the future cash flows of debt securities applying the risk-free market rate with credit spread and LSMC and Hull-White model.

  

Risk-free market rate, credit spread, discount rate originated from credit grade, volatility of stock and volatility of interest rate

Equity securities and beneficiary certificates

  

The beneficiary certificates are measured at net asset value method, DCF model(Discounted Cash Flow Model), Binomial Tree model and T-F model.

  

Values of underlying assets such as bond, discount rate, volatility of stock, terminal growth rate etc.

Derivatives

  

Fair value is measured by models such as option model.

  

Discount rate, volatility, exchange rate, stock prices, fair value originated from forward price etc.

Loans

  

The future cash flows of debt instruments are measured at a discount by applying the market interest rate applied to entities with similar creditworthiness to the debtor.

  

Risk-free market rate and credit spread

Deposits due to customers

  

Fair value is measured by Hull-White model.

  

Swaption Volume etc.

 

  2)

Valuation methods and input variables for each type of financial instrument classified into level 3 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:

 

    

Valuation methods

  

Input variables

Loans

  

Fair value is measured by using the DCF model (Discounted Cash Flow Model) and LSMC(Hull-White).

  

Risk-free market rate, credit spread, discount rate, volatility of stock

Stocks, capital contributions and Beneficiary certificates

  

Among DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) Model, FCFE (Free Cash Flow to Equity) Model, Comparable Company Analysis, Dividend Discount Model, Risk-adjusted Rate of Return Method, Net Asset Value Method, LSMC, Binomial Tree Model, Hull-White and Precedent Transactions model, one or more methods are used given the characteristic of the subject of fair value measurement.

  

Risk-free market rate, market risk premium, corporate Beta, stock prices, volatility of underlying asset, discount rate originated from credit grade, volatility of interest rate, volatility of real estate value, terminal growth rate, PBR, PSR etc.

Derivatives

  

Fair value is measured by models such as option model.

  

Discount rate, volatility, exchange rate, stock price, etc.

Others

  

The fair value of the underlying asset, after calculating the fair value using the DCF model, etc., considering the price and volatility of the calculated underlying asset, is calculated using the binomial tree, which is commonly used valuation techniques in the market.

  

Stock price, volatility of underlying assets, etc.

Sensitivity analysis results on reasonable fluctuation of the significant unobservable input variables for the fair value of Level 3 financial instruments are as follows.

The sensitivity analysis of the financial instruments has been performed by classifying with favorable and unfavorable changes based on how changes in unobservable assumptions would have effects on the fluctuations of financial instruments’ value. When the fair value of a financial instrument is affected by more than one unobservable assumption, the below table reflects the most favorable or the most unfavorable changes which resulted from varying the assumptions individually. The sensitivity analysis was performed for two types of level 3 financial instruments: (1) interest rate related derivatives, currency related derivatives, equity related derivatives, and loans of which fair value changes are recognized as net income; (2) equity securities of which fair value changes are recognized as other comprehensive income.

Meanwhile, among the financial instruments that are classified as Level 3 amounting to 5,941,640 million Won and 5,484,098 million Won as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, equity instruments of 4,711,896 million Won and 4,704,747 million Won whose carrying amount are considered to represent the reasonable approximation of fair value are excluded from the sensitivity analysis.

The sensitivity on fluctuation of input variables by financial instruments as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

Fair value changes of equity related derivatives assets and liabilities are calculated by increasing or decreasing correlation or volatility, which are major unobservable variables, by 10% each, respectively.

(*2)

Fair value changes are calculated by increasing or decreasing growth rate (0%p~1%p) and discount rate or liquidation value (-1%p~1%p), which are major unobservable variables.

(*3)

Fair value changes of equity securities are calculated by increasing or decreasing stock price (-10%~10%) and volatility (-10%p~10%p), which are major unobservable variables.

(*4)

Fair value changes of equity securities are calculated by increasing or decreasing growth rate (-1%p~1%p) and discount rate (-1%p~1%p) or liquidation value (-1%p~1%p), which are major unobservable variables.

(*5)

Even if the sensitivity analysis of the capital contributions and beneficiary certificates among equity securities is not possible in practice, fair value changes of beneficiary certificates and other securities whose major unobservable variables are composed of the real estate are calculated by increasing or decreasing price fluctuation rate of real estate and discount rate which are underlying assets and discount rate by 1%p.

(*6)

Fair value changes of equity securities are calculated by increasing or decreasing correlation between growth rate and discount rate, which are unobservable variables.

The fair values of financial instruments are measured using quoted market price in active markets. In case there is no active market for financial instruments, the Group determines the fair value by using valuation methods. Valuation methods and input variables for financial assets and liabilities that are measured at amortized cost are given as follows:

 

    

Valuation methods

  

Input variables

Securities at amortized cost

  

The fair value is measured by discounting the projected cash flows of debt securities by applying risk-free market rate with credit spread.

  

Risk-free market rate and credit spread

Loans and other financial assets at amortized cost

  

The fair value is measured by discounting the projected cash flows of loan products by applying the market discount rate that has been applied to a proxy company that has similar credit rating to the debtor.

  

Risk-free market rate, credit spread and prepayment rate

Deposits due to customers, borrowings, debentures and other financial liabilities

  

The fair value is measured by discounting the projected cash flows of debt products by applying the market discount rate that is reflecting credit rating of the Group or the market discount rate used for similar in products.

NET DEFINED BENEFIT LIABILITY (ASSET)

The retirement benefit of the Group is based on the defined benefit retirement pension plan.

Employees and directors with one or more years of service are entitled to receive a payment upon termination of their employment, based on their length of service and rate of salary at the time of termination. The assets of the plans are measured at their fair value at the end of reporting date. The plan liabilities are measured using the projected unit method, which takes account of projected earnings increases, using actuarial assumptions that give the best estimate of the future cash flows that will arise under the plan liabilities.

The Group is exposed to various risks through defined benefit retirement pension plan, and the most significant risks are as follows:

 

Volatility of asset

   The defined benefit obligation was estimated with a discount rate calculated based on blue chip corporate bonds earnings. A deficit may occur if the rate of return of plan assets falls short of the discount rate.

Decrease in profitability of blue chip bonds

   A decrease in profitability of blue chip bonds will be offset by some increase in the value of debt securities that the employee benefit plan owns but will bring an increase in the defined benefit obligation.

Risk of inflation

   Defined benefit obligations are related to inflation rate; the higher the inflation rate is, the higher the level of liabilities. Therefore, deficit occurs in the system if an inflation rate increases.

Overview of the Group’s hedge accounting

 

  1)

Fair value hedge

As of September 30, 2024, the Group has applied fair value hedge on fixed interest rate foreign currency denominated debentures amounting to 3,459,230 million Won, and local currency debentures amounting to 284,541 million Won. The purpose of the hedging is to avoid fair value volatility risk of fixed interest rate foreign and local currency denominated debentures derived from fluctuations of market interest rate, and as such the Group entered into interest rate swap agreements designated as hedging instruments.

Pursuant to the interest rate swap agreement, by swapping the calculated difference between the fixed interest rate and floating interest rate applied to the nominal value, the fair value fluctuation risk is hedged as the foreign currency denominated debentures and local currency debentures fixed interest rate terms are converted to floating interest rate. Pursuant to the interest rate swap agreement, hedge ratio is determined by matching the nominal value of hedging instrument to the face value of the hedged item.

In this hedging relationship, only the market interest rate fluctuation, which is the most significant part of the fair value change of the hedged item, is designated as the hedged risk, and other risk factors including credit risk are not included in the hedged risk. Therefore, the ineffective portion of the hedge could arise from fluctuations in the timing of the cash flow of the hedged item, price margin set by counterparty of hedging instrument, and unilateral change in credit risk of any party of hedging instrument.

The interest rate swap agreements and the hedged items are subject to fluctuations in the underlying market rate of interest and the Group expects the fair value of the interest rate swap contract and the value of the hedged item to generally change in the opposite direction.

The fair value of the interest rate swap at the end of the reporting period is determined by discounting future cash flows estimated by using the yield curve at the end of the reporting period and the credit risk embedded in the contract and the average interest rate is determined based on the outstanding balance at the end of the reporting period. The variable interest rate applied to the interest rate swap is Compounding SOFR and CD 3M plus spread. In accordance with the terms of each interest rate swap contract designated as a hedging instrument, the Group receives interest at a fixed interest rate and pays interest at a variable interest rate.

Cash Flow Hedge

As of the September 30, 2024, the Group has applied cash flow hedge debentures on local currency amounting to 139,977 million Won, debentures on foreign currency amounting to 1,036,482 million Won. The Group’s hedging purpose is to avoid changes in cash flow related to interest and principal of Korean won-denominated floating rate bonds and foreign currency-issued bonds due to changes in interest rates and exchange rates. To achieve this purpose, the group enters into interest rate swap and currency swap contracts, designating them as hedging instruments.

By exchanging a predetermined nominal amount as set forth in the interest rate swap contract adjusted by the differences between the fixed and variable interest rates, the variable interest rate terms of the Korean won-denominated variable rate bond are converted to fixed interest rate terms, thereby eliminating the cash flow volatility risk. In addition, this also means a payment of predetermined principal amount as set forth in the currency swap adjusted by fixed interest rate, an exchange of an amount calculated by applying variable interest rate to USD or applying fixed interest rate to USD, and an exchange of the principal denominated in KRW and principal denominated in foreign currency at maturity eliminating cash flow fluctuation risk on principal and interest. The hedge ratio is determined by matching the nominal amount of the hedging instrument to the face amount of the hedged item in accordance with interest rate swap and currency swap.

Only interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuation risks, which are the most significant factor in the cash flow fluctuation of the hedged item, are addressed in this hedging relationship, and other risk factors such as credit risk are not subject to hedging. Accordingly, hedge ineffectiveness may arise from price margin set by the counterparty of hedging instruments and unilateral change in credit risk of any party in the transaction.

The interest rate swap, currency swap contract and the hedged item are all affected by the changes in market interest rate and foreign exchange rates which are basic factors. The Group expects that the value of interest rate swap contract, currency swap contract and value of the hedged item will generally fluctuate in opposite direction.

 

  3)

Hedges of Net Investment in Foreign Operations

Foreign currency exposure arises from the Group’s net investments in Woori America Bank, Woori Bank (Cambodia) PLC. Woori Global Markets Asia Limited, which use USD as their functional currency. The risk arises from fluctuations in the spot exchange rate between USD and KRW. This may result in different net investment amounts.

The risk hedged in the net investment hedging is the fluctuation risk of KRW against USD, which may reduce the carrying amount of the Group’s net investments in Woori America Bank, Woori Bank (Cambodia) PLC. and Woori Global Markets Asia Limited.

A portion of the Group’s net investments in Woori America Bank, Woori Bank (Cambodia) PLC. and Woori Global Markets Asia Limited are hedged in USD denominated foreign currency bonds (Carrying amount as of September 30, 2024: USD 863,959,317) and mitigate foreign exchange risk arising from the net assets of subsidiaries. The debenture has been designated as a hedging instrument for the value change of net investments, which arises from fluctuation in the spot exchange rate between USD and KRW.

To evaluate the effectiveness of the hedge, the Group determines the economic relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item by comparing (offsetting) changes in the amount of foreign investments due to spot exchange rate fluctuation and in the carrying amount of the liabilities due to spot exchange rate fluctuation. The Group’s policy is to hedge the net investment amount only within the principal range of the liabilities.

(*1)

As the amount of payment varies according to the base price (the arithmetic average of the weighted average stock price of transactions in the past one week, the past one month, and the past two months) at the date of payment, the fair value is calculated to measure the liability according to the Black Scholes model based on the base price at the time of each settlement.

(*2)

The number of payable stocks is granted at the initial contract date. This is a system in which the number of shares to be granted is determined based on the evaluation results of long-term performance indicators over a total of four years, including the current year, and the final cash compensation is made by reflecting the stock price at the time of payment. Performance is evaluated as long-term performance indication including relative shareholder return, net income, return on equity (ROE), C/I ratio, non-performing loan ratio and job performance.

(*3)

Payment was completed in current period.

 

  2)

The Group accounts for performance condition share-based payments according to the cash-settled method and the fair value of the liabilities is reflected in the compensation costs by re-measuring every closing period. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying amount of the liabilities related to the performance condition share-based payments recognized by the Group amounts to 56,432 million Won and 46,741 million Won, respectively, including the carrying amount of liabilities related to key management of 14,212 million Won and 19,924 million Won, respectively.

Other commitments

 

  1)

As of September 30, 2024, Woori Asset Trust, a subsidiary, has committed to fulfill responsibility for the completion of 13 projects, including a Urban Residential Housing in Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Responsible completion type management land trust is a trust that bears the obligation of responsible completion when the construction company fails to fulfill the obligation of responsible completion, and the obligation to compensate losses to the lending financial institution if Woori Asset Trust fails to fulfill the obligation of responsible completion. As of September 30, 2024, the total amount of PF (Project Financing) loans from PF lending financial institutions invested in the responsible completion type management land trust business is 799,642 million Won. Meanwhile, Woori Asset Trust Co., Ltd. has failed to fulfill the responsibility of the completion of 4 projects including the Neighborhood Living Facilities in Pungdeokcheon-dong, Yongin-si. The total amount of PF limit from PF lending financial institutions invested in projects is 304,500 million Won and the amount of PF loans is 163,543 million Won. The PF limit may be subject to change during the project progress due to reasons such as limit deductions. As of September 30, 2024, Woori Asset Trust has 4 cases, such as the commercial facility in Gyeongan-dong, Gwangju, Gyeonggi, where our company’s guaranteed completion deadlines have passed. Although additional losses may occur in relation to these contracts for liability obligations, these effects were not reflected in the financial statements at the end of the current period because the possibility is not high and the amount of losses cannot be reliably estimated. As of September 30, 2024, the total PF limit of the PF loan financial institutions invested in the concerned project is 217,500 million Won and the PF loan amount is 81,943 million Won. The PF limit may be subject to change during the project progress due to reasons such as limit deductions.

 

  2)

Also, as of September 30, 2024, Woori Asset Trust, a subsidiary, may lend a trust account for a part of the total project cost in relation to 17 debt-type land trust contracts including small-scale reconstruction project of Baekjo Apartment in Galsan-dong, Incheon, and 14 responsibility completion management land trust projects, including Urban Residential Housing in Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The maximum loan amount (unused limit) is 177,321 million Won. Whether or not Woori Asset Trust lends a trust account in relation to the relevant businesses is not an unconditional payment obligation, and it is determined by considering overall matters such as the unique account and the fund balance plan of each trust business.

 

  3)

Pursuant to some contracts related to asset securitization, as of September 30, 2024, Woori Card, a subsidiary, utilizes various prerequisites as triggering events causing early redemption, limiting risks that investors bear due to change in asset quality. Breach of such triggering clause leads to an early redemption of the securitized bonds.

 

  4)

During the prior period, there was an investigation by Fair Trade Commission regarding Loan-To-Value ratio. Woori Bank, a subsidiary, received the review report in January 2024, but cannot reasonably estimate its impact on consolidated interim financial statements.

BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

(1)

General Information

The Group resolved to merge with Korea Foss Securities Co., Ltd. on May 3, 2024, following a resolution by the Board of Directors. This decision is based on maximizing synergy effects through the merger, enhancing competitiveness, improving management efficiency, and achieving sustainable growth.

The Group merged with Korea Foss Securities Co., Ltd. as the surviving company and Woori Investment Bank Co., Ltd. as the dissolving company, with the merger date set as August 1, 2024.

     47,545  
  

 

 

 

 

(*1)

For the trademark item among intangible assets, an impairment adjustment of 10 million KRW was made due to its lack of utility following the launch of Woori Investment & Securities. Additionally, the amount includes 2,613 million KRW recognized for customer relationships as a result of the business combination. This has been identified as a separate identifiable intangible asset and has been valued at fair value using the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method (MEEM). The Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method (MEEM) estimates the future cash flows generated by each intangible asset and deducts the portion of the cash flow attributable to the contribution of other assets. This method then discounts the pure cash flow generated by the intangible asset to its present value.

(*2)

The deferred tax liabilities were recognized by applying the marginal tax rate (20.9%) to the differences between the fair value and the carrying amount of the identifiable assets and liabilities.

 

  2)

Merger Accounting

Legally, the merger is in the form of Korea Foss Securities Co., Ltd., the surviving company, absorbing Woori Investment Bank Co., Ltd, the merged company. However, for accounting purposes, it is treated as a reverse acquisition, where Woori Investment Bank Co., Ltd. is considered to have acquired Korea Foss Securities Co., Ltd.

Goodwill

The goodwill recognized as a result of the business combination is as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

 

     Amount  

Consideration Transferred

     56,240  
Identifiable Net Assets Fair value      47,545  
Non-controlling interests(*)      6,444  

Goodwill

     15,139  

 

(*)

The portion of non-controlling interests is calculated from the fair value of net assets.

The consideration transferred in a business combination includes a control premium paid to acquire Korea Foss Securities Co., Ltd., resulting in the recognition of goodwill. Additionally, the consideration paid for the business combination includes amounts related to expected synergies, increased revenues, and future market growth.

As part of the acquisition, the consolidated company also acquired relationships with Korea Foss Securities Co., Ltd.’s customers. These relationships meet the separability criterion and the recognition requirements for intangible assets, and thus were recognized separately from goodwill.

On October 18, 2024, the Group’s board of directors resolved to pay a quarterly dividend of 180 Won per share (total dividend of 133,657 million Won) with the record date set as September 30, 2024. Dividends were paid in November 2024.
