2. Business
--- ---
A. Business overview
--- ---

We were incorporated in February 1985 under the laws of the Republic of Korea. LG Electronics and LG Semicon transferred their respective LCD business to us in 1998, and since then, our business has been focused on the research, development, manufacture and sale of products that apply display technologies such as OLED and TFT-LCD. Sorting by major sales product category, television, IT products and mobile and other products accounted for 26%, 43% and 31% of our total sales, respectively, in 2022. Our customers primarily consist of global set makers, and our top ten customers comprised 86% of our total sales revenue in 2022. As a company focused on exports, our overseas sales accounted for approximately 97% of our total sales in 2022. We provide close local support through our overseas sales subsidiaries located in the United States, Germany, Japan, Taiwan, China and Singapore.

We operate key production facilities in Korea, China and Vietnam, and our production capacity is approximately 8.8 million glass sheets per year, as converted into eighth-generation sheets (2200x2500mm). **** In order to expand our production capacity of differentiated and competitive products such as OLED panels, our total capital expenditures on a cash out basis was around ~~W~~5.2 trillion in 2022. We expect our capital expenditure in 2023 will be lower than the amount in 2022 as we strive to secure financial stability.

The major raw materials for display panel production include glass, semiconductors, polarizers, organic matter, backlight units (“BLU”) and printed circuit boards (“PCB”), and the prices of our raw materials may fluctuate as a result of supply and demand in the market as well as changes in our purchase quantity.

As securing production capacity through large scale investments in the display industry requires a long period of time, panel prices may fluctuate due to the imbalance between the increase in production capacity and growth in demand. The sales performance of industry players is differentiated by not only the production capacity of each company but also other competitive differences arising from factors including technology, product development capability, manufacturing efficiency, quality control and customer relationships, along with the price differentiation incorporating such factors. In addition, given the high proportion of our sales overseas, our sales of display panels are denominated mainly in U.S. dollars whereas our purchases of raw materials are denominated mainly in U.S. dollars, Japanese Yen and Chinese Yuan. Accordingly, our profit margins may be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the currencies. We strive to minimize the risk relating to foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and operating cash flow due to exchange rate fluctuations.

Our research and development expenses represent approximately 9% of our sales, and we are continually creating customer value through systematic R&D activities for new products and technologies. Leveraging our competitive R&D activities, we are leading the display market by providing differentiated values in display panel products utilizing our OLED and TFT-LCD technologies for various uses including television, IT and mobile products, as well as automobiles and industrial uses.

B. Industry
--- ---
(1) Industry characteristics
--- ---
From the supply perspective, the display panel industry is technology- and capital-intensive in nature and<br>requires mass production through achieving an economy of scale.
--- ---
From the demand perspective, the display panel industry tends to demonstrate a high level of volatility depending<br>on the global macroeconomic conditions, major regional sales events and/or seasonal factors.
--- ---
Despite an increased risk of reduced confidence of investors and decreased consumption of display products due to<br>the gradual transition towards living with COVID-19 and increasing uncertainty in the global macroenvironment, there are continued opportunities in the display market to meet changes in consumer lifestyle and<br>specific consumer needs.
--- ---
In the market for television display panels, new market opportunities are expected to arise from the expansion of<br>viewable content (including via over-the-top services) and more diversified uses of television (such as enjoying games and music).
--- ---
In the market for traditional IT products such as laptops and desktop monitors, growth opportunities for new<br>offerings such as gaming products and portable products are expected to increase due to sustained lifestyle changes, including partially remote work arrangements and education methods, as well as the continually expanding demand for digital content<br>production and consumption.
--- ---
The market for products using plastic OLED products that offer superior performance through design flexibility, low-power consumption and high resolution is growing due to increased use of smartphones for mobile contents and gaming purposes with the development of 5G communication infrastructure.
--- ---
(2) Growth Potential
--- ---
We are strengthening our business base with a focus on customer value and developing new markets under our<br>strategic plan to transition our business to center around OLED, which has a strong future growth potential. With respect to large-sized display panels, we are focusing on securing OLED dominance in the market<br>through differentiated products such as “OLED.EX” and “Cinematic Sound” OLED display panels while leading the expansion into new business areas, such as transparent OLED display panels and gaming display panels. In the small-sized display panel business, we are further expanding our production capacity by securing stable operating capabilities for 6th generation plastic OLED smartphone displays while continuing to grow our small-<br>and medium-sized OLED business in other product lines, including automotive display panels. We are also striving to create new markets by commercializing automotive sound solutions and preparing for the<br>development of augmented virtuality and virtual reality markets. Furthermore, in the medium-sized display panel business, we are increasing the proportion of premium products such as high resolution and wide<br>screen products based on IPS and Oxide technologies.

(3) Cyclicality
The display panel business is characterized by being highly cyclical and sensitive to fluctuations in the general<br>economy. The industry experiences recurring volatility caused by imbalances between supply and demand due to capacity expansion and changing production utilization rates within the industry.
--- ---
Macroeconomic factors and other causes of business cycles can affect the rate of growth in demand for display<br>panels. Accordingly, if supply exceeds demand, average selling prices of display panels may decrease. Conversely, if growth in demand outpaces growth in supply, average selling prices may increase.
--- ---
(4) Market conditions
--- ---
Most display panel manufacturers are located in Asia as set forth below. Competition in the TFT-LCD sector is intensifying amid investments in new fabrication facilities led by Chinese panel manufacturers. In response, Korean panel manufacturers are continuing their efforts to maintain their market<br>leadership and differentiate themselves by transitioning their business focus to OLED products and upgrading their TFT-LCD businesses.

7. Risk Management and Derivative Contracts
--- ---
A. Risk management
--- ---
(1) Major market risks
--- ---

Our business is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. Accordingly, we operate a risk management system that identifies and analyzes these risks while monitoring and managing risk level by establishing appropriate risk controls in order to ensure that such risks do not exceed certain threshold levels.

Market risk refers to the risk that income from the financial instruments that we hold or the fair value of such financial instruments will fluctuate due to fluctuations in market prices, such as exchange rates, interest rates and prices of equity securities. The objective of our market risk management system is to manage and control our exposure to market risk within an acceptable level while optimizing our profit levels.

(2) Risk management method

As the average selling prices of OLED and TFT-LCD panels can continue to decline over time irrespective of industry-wide cyclical fluctuations, we may find it hard to manage risks associated with certain factors that are outside our control. However, we counteract such declines in average selling prices by increasing the proportion of high value added panels in our product mix while also implementing various cost reduction measures.

In addition, in order to manage our risk against foreign currency fluctuations, we eliminate such risk by adopting a policy of maintaining our net exposure risk within an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates, when necessary, to address short-term imbalances in the inflow and outflow of foreign currency funds. We also continually monitor our currency position and risk for other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, and when needed, we may from time to time enter into cross-currency interest rate swap contracts and foreign currency forward contracts. Furthermore, we have adopted a policy aimed at minimizing uncertainty and financial costs arising from interest rate fluctuations and manage our interest rate risk through periodic monitoring of interest rate trends and adoption of appropriate countermeasures.

Table of Contents
B. Derivative contracts
(1) Currency risks
--- ---
We are exposed to currency risks on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in currencies other than<br>in Won, our functional currency. These currencies are primarily the U.S. dollar, the Chinese Yuan and the Japanese Yen.
--- ---
Interest on borrowings is denominated in the currency of the borrowing. Generally, borrowings are denominated in<br>currencies that match the cash flows generated by our underlying operations, primarily in Won, the U.S. dollar and the Chinese Yuan.
--- ---
During the reporting period, we have entered into a forward currency contract with a short U.S. dollar position<br>in order to hedge the risk of fluctuations in future cash flows resulting from exchange rate fluctuations in expected export transactions. As of the end of the reporting period, there were no derivative contracts to which we applied cash flow hedge<br>accounting. The amount transferred from other components of equity to profit or loss (product revenue) during the reporting period due to the realization of the anticipated export transaction was ~~W~~212,956 million.<br>
--- ---
As of the end of the reporting period, in order to avoid risks of interest rate fluctuations and exchange rate<br>fluctuations on foreign currency denominated borrowings with floating interest rates, we entered into an aggregate of $2,430 million in Won/US dollar cross currency swap agreements with Standard Chartered Bank and others, for which we have not<br>applied hedge accounting.
--- ---
Any rights or obligations arising from derivative contracts that do not apply hedge accounting are measured at<br>fair value and are accounted for as assets and liabilities, whereas any resulting valuation gain or loss is recognized as profit or loss at the time such valuation gain or loss is incurred.
--- ---
We recognized a net gain on valuation of derivative instruments in the amount of<br>~~W~~121 billion with respect to our foreign exchange derivative instruments held during the reporting period.
--- ---
(2) Interest rate risks
--- ---
Our exposure to interest rate risks relates primarily to our floating rate long term loan obligations. We have<br>established and are managing interest rate risk policies to minimize uncertainty and costs associated with interest rate fluctuations by monitoring cyclical interest rate fluctuations and enacting countermeasures.
--- ---
As of the end of the reporting period, we entered into an aggregate face value of US$1,730 million<br>(equivalent to Won 2,192.4 billion) in cross-currency interest swap agreements with Hana Bank and others, and an aggregate of ~~W~~470 billion in interest rate swap agreements with KB Kookmin Bank and others, for<br>which we have not applied hedge accounting. We recognized a net gain on valuation of derivative instruments in the amount of ~~W~~7 billion with respect to our interest rate derivative instruments held during the<br>reporting period.
--- ---
A fundamental transition in benchmark reference rates is taking place globally and some interbank lending rates<br>(“IBORs”) are becoming replaced with new risk-free benchmark rates. In particular, in the case of London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), with the exception of overnight, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month USD LIBOR rates, all rates have been ceased as of December 31, 2021. The aforementioned five USD<br>LIBOR rates will also cease to exist as of June 30, 2023. While none of our financial instruments currently outstanding are tied to LIBOR rates that have been ceased to date, we plan to replace our existing financial instruments tied to LIBOR<br>rates with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). In addition, while Korea Overnight Financing Repo Rate (“KOFR”) was selected as the benchmark reference rate for domestic certificate of deposit interest rates as part of<br>the benchmark reference rate reform, we are not planning to adopt KOFR, as certificate of deposit interest rates are not scheduled to be ceased. Following the transition away from the LIBOR, we are exposed to legal risk associated with amending the<br>contracts for such financial instruments as well as operational risk associated with managing the transition and its impact. We are also exposed to the risk of monitoring the market trend on alternative benchmark reference rates and establishing a<br>risk management strategy accordingly. In order to manage such risks in relation to benchmark reference rate reform, we are assessing the extent to which each contract references IBOR cash flows, whether such contract should be amended and how to<br>manage communication with counterparties on benchmark reference rate transition. Moreover, we have inserted replacement clauses for IBORs that have not yet been converted to alternative benchmark reference rates. However, even if a replacement<br>clause has been inserted, if the interest rate of the financial instrument is still tied to an IBOR, we consider such financial instrument as not yet having been converted. See Note 27 of the notes to our consolidated annual financial statements<br>included elsewhere in this report for further information.

11. Environmental and Safety Matters

In order to minimize the environmental impact of our business activities, we are actively responding to environmental regulations applicable to our products and business sites.

18

Table of Contents
A. Business environment management

We have installed and operate various types of prevention facilities to minimize the emission of environmental pollutants generated in our production process. With respect to air and water pollutants, we set and manage our internal standard at 70% of the permitted levels under the regulatory emission standards. In addition, in order to establish a resource circulation system, we operate a proprietary system to monitor waste from its generation to treatment, have developed waste treatment technology and identified suitable recycling companies to reduce the amount of waste we generate and maximize recycling.

We are subject to a variety of environmental laws and regulations, and operations at our manufacturing plants are subject to regulation and periodic scheduled and unscheduled on-site inspections by the Ministry of Environment and local environmental protection authorities. The primary types of environmental laws applicable to us include the following:

(1) Environmental pollutant emission regulations: Clean Air Conservation Act, Water Quality Conservation Act,<br>Wastes Control Act, Environmental Impact Assessment Act, etc.
(2) Greenhouse gas emission management: Framework Act on Carbon Neutral and Green Growth to Respond to Climate<br>Crisis, Act on the Allocation and Trading of Greenhouse Gas Emission Permits, etc.
--- ---
(3) Other workplace environment management: Chemicals Control Act, Chemicals Registration and Evaluation Act, Soil<br>Environment Conservation Act, etc.
--- ---

In addition, as we were designated a target company for the greenhouse gas emission trading system in 2015, we allocate and monitor our greenhouse gas emissions every year. In order to continually promote the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, we have set a medium- to long-term goal to reduce the emission level by continually investing in facility improvements and monitoring our emission levels.

In accordance with the Framework Act on Carbon Neutral and Green Growth to Respond to Climate Crisis, we implemented the greenhouse gas emission and energy consumption target system from 2012 to 2014. In 2015, we implemented the greenhouse gas trading system, under which we are responsible to meet our emission targets based on the emission credits allocated to us by the Ministry of Environment of the Korean government. As a result, we have been investing in additional equipment and there may be other costs associated with meeting reduction targets, which may have a negative effect on our profitability or production activities.

In connection with the greenhouse gas emission and energy reduction target system, we submitted a statement of our 2021 domestic emissions and energy usage to the Korean government in March 2022 after it was certified by EQA, a government-designated certification agency. The table below sets forth yearly levels of our greenhouse gases emissions and energy usage in the statement submitted to the Korean government:

(Unit: thousand tons of CO2 equivalent; Tetra Joules)

Category 2021 2020 2019
Greenhouse gases 4,784 4,748 5,885
Energy 60,927 56,668 62,776

Note: Our greenhouse gas emission and energy usage in 2021 was determined upon assessment by the Ministry of Environment, and our greenhouse gas emission and energy usage in 2022 will be updated after the Korean government’s verification and confirmation process.

The decrease in greenhouse gas emissions in 2020 compared to 2019 was due primarily to the introduction of a reduction facility that decomposes fluorinated greenhouse gases used in our manufacturing process, resulting in an overall decrease in emission levels.

Since we were designated as a target company for the greenhouse gas emission trading system in 2015, we receive greenhouse gas emission allowances from the government and at the same time submit our greenhouse gas emission calculations and specifications to the government every year. In order to continually promote the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, we have set a mid-term goal to reduce the emission level from 2014 to 2030 by 40% and a medium- to long-term goal to reduce the emission level from 2014 to 2050 by 90%. To achieve this, we are continually investing in facility improvements and monitoring our emission levels.

19

Table of Contents

We are making extensive investments to replace SF6 gas, which is the main component of greenhouse gases, with NF3 gas. In addition, as a short-term strategy, we are actively implementing measures in compliance with the emission trading system. In 2021, we reduced our carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emission levels by 1.71 million tons, and our carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emission level in 2021 was 4.78 million tons, which was 2.95 million tons, or 38%, less than our carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emission levels in 2014 (7.73 million tons).

As our medium- to long-term goal, we are developing and integrating high-efficiency greenhouse gas emission reduction technology (above 95% reduction efficiency level) into our manufacturing process. We are also seeking to develop low-carbon and environment-friendly alternative gas. Moreover, we will continue to accelerate our transition to recyclable energy and develop low-electricity/environment-friendly products.

Through the implementation of an environmental and energy management system, we are continuously making efforts to minimize environmental impact and reduce energy usage in all aspects of our business process. Accordingly, we have acquired and currently operate the environmental management system ISO14001 for all of our domestic and overseas production sites, and we have also obtained energy management system ISO 50001 certifications for our domestic business sites and overseas subsidiaries in Nanjing, Guangzhou, and Yantai in order to build a sustainable management system. In addition, we have established company-wide safety, healthy, energy and environment management policies and manuals, which are regularly updated based on international standards. We also conduct systematic management of our business process in accordance with international standards through annual follow-up and renewal audits.

In recognition of our efforts, we were awarded the highest level, Leadership A, and received the grand prize award at the CDP Water Korea Best Awards in 2016 from the Carbon Disclosure Project, which was presided over by the Carbon Disclosure Project Korea Committee. Since then, we have continued to maintain our excellence in water conservation activities and received Leadership A recognition from 2018 to 2021. In addition, we have also received the Carbon Management Honors Club award from 2017 to 2020 and the Carbon Management Sector Honors every year since 2016 in recognition of our continued greenhouse gas emission reduction activities. Moreover, in recognition of our efforts to improve our recycling rate and reduce waste, we received a citation in 2020 for being a leading resource circulation company from the Minister of Environment.

In addition, in recognition of our efforts toward recycling rate improvement and waste reduction, we were nominated as a leading company with an excellent performance in resource circulation and received a commendation from the Minister of Environment in 2020. Our overseas subsidiary in Yantai earned Platinum Zero Waste to Landfill (“ZWTL”) validation in 2021, and all of our domestic production facilities earned Gold ZWTL validation (above 95% recycling rate), and our overseas subsidiary in Nanjing earned Platinum validation in 2022. In 2022, we introduced a resource recirculation recognition program in accordance with the Korean government’s waste management policy and received circular resource certification on eight types of our discarded trays and vinyl. We will continue our efforts to reinforce our resource circulation program by minimizing waste and maximizing recycling rate.

Moreover, in line with the global trend for environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) management, we earned Gold rating (which recognizes top 5% companies) in the ESG assessment conducted by global research center EcoVadis. We have continued to pursue ESG management activities based on the spirit of “value creation for consumers” and “human-first management,” and we plan to obtain further recognition for our eco-friendly management and share relevant information with the stakeholders.

B. Product environment management

In the case of the European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2011/65/EU, with the adoption of Directive (EU) 2015/863 in 2016, four additional substances (four phthalate substances) have been added to the six already restricted substances, which additional restrictions became effective as of July 22, 2019. In order to address the latent risk elements of the four phthalate substances that became restricted in 2019 and to establish a more stable management system, we implemented in 2016 a preemptive response process with respect to such four phthalate substances. In implementing this process, we collaborated with external agencies to ascertain regulatory trends and establish our response strategy, and we formulated and applied effective management measures through the collaborative efforts of our development, procurement and quality teams.

While Beryllium (Be) has not been designated internationally as a mandatorily restricted substance, it has continued to be the subject of discussion for restriction, and certain of our customers have designated it as a restricted substance not to be used in products. Accordingly, we have completed verification of the parts used in products for customers who have banned the use of Beryllium. We have also conducted verification of the parts used in products for all customers who are expected to implement a ban and we have established a Beryllium verification process for parts in development. Through such efforts, we have established a voluntary hazardous substance response process that can be expanded to products for all customers, not only those who have requested a response.

In response to the continued strengthening of regulations governing environmentally-regulated substances, we operate our own verification process for such substances in accordance with international standards. Moreover, we participated in reforming IEC 62321, an international testing standard published by the International Electrotechnical Commission and used by RoHS, and the commission adopted our halogen-free combustion ion chromatography method in as IEC 62321-3-2, which was published in June 2013. In 2017, in a joint effort with the global product testing/accreditation agency SGS, we became the first display panel company to develop Eco Label, an environmentally friendly accreditation program for television display modules, and have since continuously received the SGS Eco Label accreditation for our OLED television models. For the IPS Nano Color for LCD, we received the Quality & Performance Mark from Intertek, a global product testing/accreditation agency, by applying a technology to eliminate cadmium (Cd) and indium phosphide (InP). In 2018, we became the first display panel company to receive the “Green Technology Certification” from the Korean Ministry of Science and ICT for improving the light efficiency technology of OLED to promote energy use reduction. In 2021, we received the “Green Technology Certification” from the Korean Ministry of Science and ICT for our advanced incell touch display technology, an eco-friendly technology with touch-sensing electrodes and transmission lines that reduce carbon emissions and the use of rare metals. We also obtained an eco-friendly certification from TUV SUD, a globally recognized accreditation agency, for excellence in resource circulation and non-use of specific hazardous substances in our OLED television and PO mobile models, following our co-development of such certification program with such agency. In 2022, we became the first company in the industry to receive the SGS Eco Mark accreditation for our automotive display products utilizing plastic OLED and low-temperature polycrystalline silicon LCD, in recognition for the reduction of their power consumption by a maximum of 39% by increasing luminous efficiency of their organic elements, improving their liquid crystal transmittance rate, and minimizing hazardous substances. We also obtained the SGS performance accreditation for our IT display products applying antibacterial films.

In November 2018, in connection with the occurrence of a safety accident in June 2017, the trial court (Goyang Branch of Uijeongbu District Court) ordered a fine of ~~W~~3.0 million on each of us and our chief production officer on the basis of violation of certain provisions of the Industrial Safety and Health Act, which fines were paid in full after such order was confirmed on November 5, 2020. In order to prevent such accidents from occurring again, we are strengthening our safety management standards and training for our employees.

In May 2020, we received a warning from Daegu Regional Environmental Office regarding a safety incident that occurred in April 2020 in violation of Article 13-1 of the Chemical Control Act. In addition, in connection with another safety incident that occurred in May 2020, we were assessed an administrative penalty of ~~W~~1.44 million in May 2020 and an improvement order in June 2020, in each case by Daegu Regional Environmental Office, for a violation of Article 13-2 of the Chemical Control Act. We subsequently paid such fine, and we also submitted a report of compliance with such improvement order in July 2020. Regarding these two incidents, Gimcheon Branch of Daegu District Court issued a summary order to assess fines of ~~W~~3 million on each of us and two of our employees (the former head of safety and health management at our Gumi facilities and a former working level staff), which order was subsequently confirmed. In order to prevent recurrence, we are exerting continual efforts to treat safety as a top priority management objective, including by strengthening our safety management standards and employee training efforts.

In May 2020, we were assessed a fine of ~~W~~1.44 million by the National Institute of Chemical Safety for our failure to conduct safety training on hazardous chemicals in violation of Article 33 of the Chemicals Control Act, which we subsequently paid. In order to prevent recurrence, we conducted safety training on hazardous chemicals for the relevant personnel and newly established a working process that complies with safety regulations.

In January 2021, an incident involving a leakage of tetramethylammonium hydroxide chemicals occurred during refurbishment of equipment at one of our plants in Paju, causing bodily harm to workers. In December 2021, we and certain of our employees were prosecuted for violating the Industrial Safety and Health Act and the Chemicals Control Act. In January 2023, the Goyang Branch of the Uijeongbu District Court ordered a fine of ~~W~~20 million. The prosecution has filed an appeal with respect to the prosecuted employees, which process is currently pending. In order to prevent recurrence, we are exerting continual efforts to treat safety as a top priority management objective, including by strengthening our safety management standards and employee training efforts.

In January 2021, we were audited by the Ministry of Employment and Labor in connection with the occurrence of a safety accident and found to be in violation of Article 114-1 of the Industrial Safety and Health Act relating to supervisory obligations with respect to the posting of safety information material and employee education. As a result, we were issued a corrective order and assessed a fine of ~~W~~122.6 million, which we subsequently paid. We submitted a report on the implementation of the corrective order as of October 1, 2021.

In April 2021, we were assessed a fine of ~~W~~1.2 million by the Paju Fire Station for failure to preserve regular inspection records of firefighting facilities related to the joint fire inspection by Gyeong-gi-Province Fire and Disaster Headquarters in violation of Article 18-1 of the Act on Safety Control of Hazardous Substances, which we subsequently paid. As a result, we have been conducting regular inspections of dangerous substances according to the inspection checklist related to this, and have taken measures to consult with relevant administrative agencies to the extent there are any ambiguous regulations related to performing inspections in order to prevent any legal issues.

On March 3, 2022, an accident occurred at our contracted construction site in Paju, resulting in injuries of four LS Cable & System workers. Authorities are currently investigating the exact cause of the accident and we plan to actively cooperate with the investigation of related organizations to determine the cause.

In April 2022, the Han River Basin Environmental Office ordered a fine of ~~W~~2.4 million on us for a violation of Provision 1 of Article 31 of the Chemical Control Act and other applicable law. We paid the fine and established procedures to manage scheduling and documentation and guarantee timely subcontract declaration that follows regulations by the department in charge.

In April 2022, following a relevant department’s delay in reporting an industrial accident (dated February 12, 2022) to the company by over a month, we were assessed a fine of ~~W~~5.6 million for a violation of Provision 3 of Article 57 of the Industrial Safety and Health Act and other applicable law. We paid the fine and provided a company-wide notice and training to promote immediate reporting upon the occurrence of similar incidents and to prevent such delays in the future. We also took personnel actions relating to relevant employees.

In May 2022, after a regular facility inspection following an industrial accident at the site, the trial court (Goyang Branch of Uijeongbu District Court) ordered a fine of ~~W~~5 million on each of us and one employee (Executive Director and On-site Safety Manager, Incumbent, 23 years of service) for a violation of certain provisions of the Industrial Safety and Health Act. We are strengthening our safety management standards and employee training program to prevent industrial accidents.

On December 15, 2022, under Article 17-2 of the Act on the Allocation and Trading of Greenhouse-gas Emission Permits, the Ministry of Environment ordered a fine of ~~W~~1.6 million on us for failure to timely submit a report on the cancellation of allocation of emission rights (when a designated business entity shuts down a part or the entirety of its production site and if the such site’s greenhouse gas emission is less than 50% of the allocated quota due to the closure, shutdown, or discontinuation of operation of its facilities, the designated business shall report to a relevant agency within a month of such shut down). We paid the fine and established procedures to prevent the recurrence of similar events, including regular monthly monitoring of site closures and changes in emissions.

These forward-looking statements reflect our current views as of the date of this report with respect to future events and are not a guarantee of future performance or results. Actual results may differ materially from information contained in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors beyond our control.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us in this report are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.

B. Overview

While the display industry has traditionally been subject to cyclical fluctuations between periods of downturns and recoveries, the industry has experienced an unprecedented level of a decrease in market demand and a decline in price since 2022 to date. In 2022, the decrease in demand for major display products was exacerbated by weaker consumption levels due to deteriorating microeconomic conditions. Due to these reasons, inventory adjustment in downstream industries continued over the course of the year, which adversely affected our key segments of high-end television and IT display panels. Our sales revenue in 2022 was ~~W~~26.2 trillion, representing a decrease of 12% from the previous year, and our operating loss amounted to ~~W~~2.1 trillion. Our EBITDA (which represents the sum of operating profit, depreciation expenses and amortization expenses) amounted to ~~W~~6.7 trillion in 2021, and as a result of our recording of operating loss, ~~W~~2.5 trillion in 2022.

With the awareness that the unfriendly market environment can continue for a prolonged period of time, we have been prioritizing and focusing on enhancing our business profile and restoring financial soundness.

In order to enhance our business profile, we are in the process of optimizing our operational structure by advancing market-sensitive product lines such as TFT-LCD television panels and responding to market fluctuations by increasing our focus on higher value-added products. We are also continually expanding our order-based business (such automotive panels and plastic OLED panels for mobile products), which allow for more stable management of investment, logistics and price levels through customer contracts. The proportion of such order-based businesses in our total sales revenue increased to approximately 30% in 2022, and we anticipate that the proportion of such order-based business will reach 40% of our total sales revenue in 2023 and 50% in 2024. Utilizing new and differentiated approaches, we are continually developing potential customers for new product segments, such as the transparent OLED and gaming display panels, that have high potential for future growth.

As for our LCD television business, which we believe to have become sensitive to market conditions and generally allow for fewer opportunities for product differentiation, we have been executing our exit strategy. In 2022, we ceased production at our P7 facility (where we produced seventh generation TFT-LCD panels for televisions), which had a capacity of 15,000 substrates per month, and reduced our production capacity of eighth generation TFT-LCD panels for televisions by approximately 50% at our manufacturing facilities in China. As a result of such reorganization of our business profile, our sales revenue from OLED products increased from 32% of our total sales revenue in 2021 to 40% in 2022, and we expect such proportion to exceed 50% in 2023.

Furthermore, in 2022, we have continually engaged in activities to restore our financial soundness by reducing our inventory and strengthening our working capital, and we also raised financing for transforming our business profile to become more focused on OLED products. In particular, to respond to sluggish demand and to secure flexibility in our business operations, we implemented significant readjustment in our production levels and reduced our inventory in the fourth quarter by ~~W~~1.6 trillion compared to the previous quarter.

C. Financial condition and results of operations
(1) Changes in Political, Economic, Social, Competitive and Regulatory Environment
--- ---

Our industry is subject to cyclical fluctuations, including recurring periods of capacity increases, that may adversely affect our results of operations.

Display panel manufacturers are vulnerable to cyclical market conditions. Intense competition and expectations of growth in demand across the industry may cause display panel manufacturers to make additional investments in manufacturing capacity on similar schedules, resulting in a surge in capacity when production is ramped up at new fabrication facilities. During such surges in capacity growth, as evidenced by past experiences, customers can exert strong downward pricing pressure, resulting in sharp declines in average selling prices and significant fluctuations in the panel manufacturers’ gross margins. Conversely, demand surges and fluctuations in the supply chain can lead to price increases.

We address overcapacity issues by, in the short-term, adjusting the utilization rates of our existing fabrication facilities based on our assessment of industry inventory levels and demand for our products and, in the mid- to long-term, by fine-tuning our investment strategies relating to product development and capacity growth in light of our assessment of future market conditions.

From time to time, we have been affected by overcapacity in the industry relative to the general demand for display panels which, together with uncertainties in the current global economic environment, has contributed to a general decline in the average selling prices of a number of our display panel products. However, in light of our ongoing efforts to continue increasing in our product mix the proportion of higher-priced OLED panels, coupled with an increase in the market price of TFT-LCD panels in 2020 attributable to an increase in demand for television and IT products due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our average revenue per square meter of net display area increased by 7.3% from ~~W~~791,900 in 2020 to ~~W~~849,481 in 2021. However, due to an increase in the supply capacity from global panel makers and weaker demand for television and IT products due to rising inflationary pressure and an increasing level of uncertainty in the global economy, our average revenue per square meter of net display area decreased by 2.4% to ~~W~~829,413 in 2022.

While we believe that overcapacity and other cyclical issues in the industry are best addressed by increasing the proportion of high margin, differentiated products based on newer technologies that are tailored to our customers’ evolving requests, we cannot provide any assurance that an increase in demand, which helped to mitigate the impact of industry-wide overcapacity in the past, will occur or continue in the future. We will respond to the overcapacity issues in the industry through close monitoring. However, construction of new fabrication facilities and other capacity expansion projects in the display panel industry are undertaken over an extended period of time. Therefore, even if overcapacity issues persist in the industry, there may be continued capacity expansion in the near future due to pre-determined capacity projects in the industry that were undertaken in past years. Any significant industry-wide capacity increases that are not accompanied by a sufficient increase in demand could further drive down the average selling price of our panels, which would negatively affect our results of operations.

Any decline in prices may be compounded by a seasonal weakening in demand growth for end products such as personal television, IT, mobile and other application products. Furthermore, once the differentiated products that had a positive impact on our performance mature in their technology cycle, if we are not able to develop and commercialize newer products to offset the price erosion of such maturing products in a timely manner, our ability to counter the impact of cyclical market conditions on our gross margins may be further limited. Future downturns resulting from any large increases in capacity or other factors affecting the industry may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

When there is deterioration in market conditions, we may record impairment losses of our tangible and intangible assets. In 2022, due to increased volatility in the display industry market as a result of deteriorating and uncertain global economic conditions, we performed impairment tests for tangible and intangible assets related to our large-size OLED panel business. See Note 10 of the notes to our consolidated annual financial statements included elsewhere in this report for further information. We cannot provide any assurance that we will not have to record additional impairment losses of tangible or intangible assets in light of any future economic downturns that may materially and negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations .

A global economic downturn may result in reduced demand for our products and adversely affect our profitability.

In recent years, an economic downturn caused by difficulties affecting the global financial sectors, adverse conditions and volatility in the worldwide credit and financial markets, and fluctuations in oil and commodity prices have collectively increased the uncertainty of economic prospects in general and have adversely affected the global and Korean economies. The recent global economic downturn has adversely affected demand for consumer products featuring display panels manufactured by our customers in Korea and overseas, including televisions, IT products (comprising notebook computers, desktop monitors and tablets) and mobile and other application products utilizing display panels, which in turn may lead them to reduce or plan reductions of their production.

The prospects for the global economy remain uncertain, especially in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine that began in 2022. We cannot provide any assurance that demand for our products can be sustained at current levels in future periods or that the demand will not decrease again in the future due to economic downturns which may adversely affect our profitability. We may decide to adjust our production levels in the future subject to market demand for our products, the production level in the display panel industry, any significant issues in our supply chain and global economic conditions in general. Any decline in demand for display panel products may adversely affect our business, results of operations and/or financial condition.

Earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, infectious diseases and other natural calamities could materiallyadversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

As our main production facilities are concentrated in Korea, China and Vietnam and we are heavily dependent on certain countries including Korea, Japan and the United States for our major equipment, components and raw materials, any natural calamity that escalate in such regions may have an impact on our production. Our supply chain is generally concentrated in Northeast Asia, and there may be delays in the supply of raw materials, components and manufacturing equipment as well as disruptions in our production levels if unforeseen natural calamities occur in the future.

The average selling prices of display panels have declined in general with time irrespective of industry-wide cyclical fluctuations as a result of, among other factors, enhancements in productivity through technological advancements and cost reductions. While such trend may continue in the future, fluctuations that are not consistent with past trends may emerge to the extent new technologies such as OLED expand or the production levels of higher value-added and differentiated products increase. Although we may be able to take advantage of the higher selling prices typically associated with new products and technologies when they are first introduced in the market, such prices may decline over time, and in certain cases, very rapidly, as a result of market competition or otherwise. If we are unable to effectively anticipate and counter the price erosion that accompanies our products, or if the average selling prices of our panels decrease faster than the speed at which we are able to reduce our manufacturing costs, our gross margin would decrease and our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

We operate in a highly competitive environment and we may not be able to sustain ourcurrent market position.

The display panel industry is highly competitive. We have experienced pressure on the prices and margins of our major products due largely to additional capacity from panel makers in Korea, Taiwan, China and Japan.

Some of our competitors may currently, or at some point in the future, have stronger financial positions and/or greater sales and marketing, manufacturing, research and development or technological resources than we do. In addition, our competitors may be able to manufacture panels on a larger scale or with greater cost efficiencies than we do and we anticipate increases in production capacity in the future by other display panel manufacturers using similar display panel technologies as us. Any price erosion resulting from strong global competition or additional industry capacity may materially affect our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, consolidation within the industry in which we operate may result in increased competition as the entities emerging from such consolidation may have greater financial, manufacturing, research and development and other resources than we do, especially if such mergers or consolidations result in vertical integration and operational efficiencies.

Our ability to compete successfully also depends on factors both within and outside our control, including product pricing, performance and reliability, our relationship with customers, successful and timely investment and product development, success or failure of our end-brand customers in marketing their brands and products, component and raw material supply costs, and general economic and industry conditions. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to maintain a competitive advantage with respect to all these factors and, as a result, we may be unable to sustain our current market position.

Our ability to compete successfully depends on many factors, including the price of our products, execution capability, reliability, customer relationship, effective and timely investment and product development, successful marketing of our customers’ products that feature our panels, cost of raw materials and component parts, and general industry and economic conditions. We may be able to control some of these factors, but there are factors that are outside of our control. We cannot provide assurance that we will gain a competitive advantage in this environment, and we may not maintain our current status in the market.

Our industry is affected by market conditions that are often outside the control of manufacturers. Our results of operations may fluctuate significantly from period to period due to a number of factors, including seasonal variations in consumer demand, capacity ramp-up by competitors, industry-wide technological changes, the loss of a key customer and the postponement, rescheduling or cancellation of large orders by a key customer, any of which may or may not reflect a continued trend from one period to the next. As a result of these factors and other risks discussed in this section, you should not rely on period-to-period comparisons to predict our future performance.

Our financial condition may be adversely affected if we cannot introduce new products to adapt to rapidly evolving customer needs on a timely basis.

Our success will depend greatly on our ability to respond quickly to rapidly evolving customer requirements and to develop and efficiently manufacture new and differentiated products in anticipation of future demand. A failure or delay on our part to develop and efficiently manufacture products of such quality and technical specifications that meet our customers’ evolving needs may adversely affect our business.

Close cooperation with our customers to gain insights into their product needs and to understand general trends in the end-product market is a key component of our strategy to produce successful products. In addition, when developing new products, we often work closely with equipment suppliers to design equipment that will make our production processes for such new products more efficient. If we are unable to work together with our customers and equipment suppliers, or to sufficiently understand their respective needs and capabilities or general market trends, we may not be able to introduce or efficiently manufacture new products in a timely manner, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial situation.

In addition, product differentiation, especially the ability to develop and market differentiated products that command higher prices in a timely manner, has become a key competitive strategy in the display panel market. This is because the growth in demand is led by a timely introduction of end products with specifications tailored to the customers’ needs and employing newer technologies at appropriate price levels. Accordingly, we have focused our efforts on developing and marketing differentiated specialty products, such as OLED.Ex, transparent OLED display panels and gaming-specialized display panels. We also strive to deliver differentiated values to meet our consumers’ demand for various display panels including (i) panels utilizing ultra-high definition, or Ultra HD, technology with low-power consumption oxide TFT backplanes, (ii) Advanced High-Performance In-Plane Switching, or AH-IPS, panels for tablet computers, notebook computers, desktop monitors, and (iii) plastic OLED display panels for smartphones, automotive products and wearable devices.

We have developed sales and marketing strategies to respond to an increase in demand for differentiated new products in consumer electronics and other markets. However, we cannot provide assurance that the differentiated products we develop and market will be responsive to our end customers’ needs nor that our products will promote market growth in consumer electronics or other markets.

Problems with product quality,including defects, in our products could result in a decrease in customers and sales, unexpected expenses and loss of market share.

Our products are manufactured using advanced, and often new, technology and must meet stringent quality requirements. Products manufactured using advanced and new technology, such as our OLED technology, may contain undetected errors or defects, especially when first introduced. For example, our latest display panels may contain defects that are not detected until after they are shipped or installed because we cannot test for all possible scenarios. Such defects could cause us to incur significant re-designing costs, divert the attention of our technology personnel from product development efforts and significantly affect our customer relations and business reputation. In addition, future product failures could cause us to incur substantial expense to repair or replace defective products.

We recognize a provision for warranty obligations based on the estimated costs that we expect to incur under our basic limited warranty for our products, which covers defective products and is normally valid for a certain period from the date of purchase. The warranty provision is largely based on historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and therefore we cannot provide assurance that the provision would be sufficient to cover any surge in future warranty expenses that significantly exceed historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims. In addition, if we deliver products with errors or defects, or if there is a perception that our products contain errors or defects, our credibility and the market acceptance and sales of our products could be harmed. Widespread product failures may damage our market reputation and reduce our market share and cause our sales to decline.

(2) Results of operations

In 2022, demand for our major products declined in light of worsening macroeconomic environment, and inventory adjustment in the downstream industries continued. Weak demand for products widely used by general consumers continued over the year, and demand for products generally tailored to corporations as well as high-end products, which had shown a relatively stable demand, also weakened in the second half of the year. Overall, the market condition of the display industry deteriorated, coupled with a continued decrease in the price of display panels, throughout the course of the year. Accordingly, our revenue decreased by 12% compared to the previous year and we recorded a net loss in 2022.

By products:

Television. We decided to scale down our TFT-LCD television<br>business, which has grown less competitive in light of the worsening overcapacity in the industry. The sales of OLED television downstream products, which recorded a high growth rate in between 2020 and 2021, have also shown slowing growth in 2022<br>due to a decline in overall consumer confidence levels as a result of the war between Russia and Ukraine, increases in interest rates, and rising inflationary pressure. These factors have led to inventory adjustment in the downstream industries, and<br>we have also significantly adjusted our production levels to reflect the sales of downstream products and enhance the production efficiency of our OLED fabrication facilities. As a result of our decreased sales volume due to weak demand and the<br>decline in the market price of TFT-LCD panels, the revenue from our television business decreased by 26% in 2022 compared to 2021.
IT. The sales of IT products significantly increased in 2020 and 2021, as the COVID-19 pandemic shaped an environment for remote work and online education arrangements. However, in 2022, the sales of our IT products showed negative growth due to a decline in overall consumer confidence levels<br>as a result of the deteriorating in the macroeconomic conditions as well as the tapering of the prior impact of the COVID-19. The revenue from our IT products decreased by 10% in 2022 compared to 2021 due to a<br>decline in the sales of, and inventory reduction policies in, the downstream industries, as well as a continual decline in the market price of display panels. However, amid these challenging circumstances, we have maintained a relatively large<br>market share in the high-end display market with differentiated products equipped with high-value technologies, such as oxide TFT, IPS, and high-resolution technologies.
--- ---
Mobile. Despite some delays in the shipment of smartphone displays equipped with new technologies, our<br>revenue from mobile and other products increased by 3% in 2022 compared to 2021mainly due to growth in our smart watch and automotive segments. In particular, our automotive business, which has emerged as our new growth engine, our revenue increased<br>by 20% in 2022 compared to 2021, and it accounted for 7% of our total revenue in 2022 compared to 5% in 2021.

In response to the rapidly changing market conditions, we are continually implementing measures to enhance our business profile. We are also gradually increasing the proportion of our order-based business, which is subject to less volatility and allows us to secure more stable sources of demand. In addition, we plan to continue to target new markets through products that we show strengths in, such as gaming and transparent displays, and to establish a stable profit structure by strengthening our product portfolio.

Our total assets amounted to ~~W~~35,686 billion as of December 31, 2022, representing a decrease of ~~W~~2,468 billion from the end of the previous year, mainly due to decreases in our net trade accounts and notes receivable and inventory.

Net trade accounts and notes receivable as of December 31, 2022 amounted to ~~W~~2,359 billion, representing a decrease of ~~W~~2,216 billion from net trade accounts and notes receivable as of December 31, 2021, mostly reflecting deteriorating macroeconomic conditions and inventory adjustment in downstream industries. Although the value of our appropriate inventory volume would otherwise have increased due to the expansion of our OLED business, our inventory decreased by ~~W~~477 billion from the end of the previous year to ~~W~~2,873 billion as of December 31, 2022, as we strived to minimize our actual inventory levels and significantly adjusted our production levels in order to restore our financial soundness. The book value of our property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 2022 was ~~W~~20,947 billion, representing an increase of ~~W~~388 billion from the book value of our total property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 2021. The increase was due mainly to the effects of our investments for expansion of our production capacity of differentiated and competitive products centered on our OLED technology and foreign exchange effect from depreciation of the Korean won, which more than offset the effects of depreciation and impairment loss from the OLED television business unit.

Our total liabilities amounted to ~~W~~24,367 billion as of December 31, 2022, representing an increase of ~~W~~975 billion from the end of the previous year, which increase was mainly due to an increase in our borrowings for raising funds for investments in our OLED production facilities in order to strengthen our future competitiveness. Our trade accounts and notes payable amounted to ~~W~~4,062 billion as of December 31, 2022, representing a decrease of ~~W~~752 billion from the end of the previous year, which decrease was mainly due to the downscaling of our production of TFT-LCD television panels and significant adjustment in our production levels in line with the sales of downstream products.

Our total equity decreased by ~~W~~3,443 billion to ~~W~~11,319 billion as of December 31, 2022 from the end of the previous year, which mainly reflected our net loss attributable to the owners of the company of ~~W~~3,072 billion for the year.

(4) Dependence on Key Customers

We sell our products to a select group of key customers, including our largest shareholder, and any significant decrease in their order levels willnegatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.

A substantial portion of our sales is attributable to a limited group of end-brand customers and their designated system integrators. Sales attributed to our end-brand customers are for their end-brand products and do not include sales to these customers for their system integration activities for other end-brand products, if any. Our top ten end-brand customers, including LG Electronics Inc., our largest shareholder, together accounted for approximately 85% of our sales in 2020, 86% in 2021 and 86% in 2022.

We benefit from the strong collaborative relationships we maintain with our end-brand customers by participating in the development of their products and gaining insights about levels of future demand for our products and other industry trends. Customers trust our ability to supply differentiated and quality products even during downturns in the industry, and we benefit from the brand recognition of our customers’ end products. The weakening of our ties with these end-brand customers, as a result of their entering into strategic supplier arrangements with our competitors or otherwise, would thus result in reduced sales and the loss of the aforementioned benefits. We cannot provide assurance that a select group of key end-brand customers, including our largest shareholder, will continue to place orders with us in the future at the same levels as in prior periods, or at all.

We expect that we will continue to be dependent upon LG Electronics and its affiliates for a significant portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future. Our results of operations and financial condition could therefore be affected by the overall performance of LG Electronics and its affiliates. Further details of our transactions with LG Electronics and its affiliates are described in Note 30 of the notes to our consolidated annual financial statements of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Our revenue depends on continuing demand for IT products (comprising notebook computers, desktop monitors and tablet computers), televisions and mobile andother application products with panels of the type we produce. Our sales may not grow at the rate we expect if consumers do not purchase these products.

Currently, our total sales are derived principally from customers who use our products in IT products (comprising notebook computers, desktop monitors and tablet computers), televisions and mobile and other application products with display devices. In particular, a substantial percentage of our sales is derived from end-brand customers, or their designated system integrators, who use our panels in their IT products, which accounted for 41.8%, 41.7% and 42.5% of our total revenue in 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. A substantial portion of our sales is also derived from end-brand customers, or their designated system integrators, who use our panels in their televisions, which accounted for 27.7%, 31.7% and 26.5% of our total revenue in 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively, and those who use our panels in their mobile and other applications, which accounted for 30.5%, 26.6% and 31.0% of our total revenue in 2020, 2021 and 2022 (sales revenues for 2022 exclude forward exchange hedging loss of ~~W~~213 billion for currency risk management of expected export transactions, which has been reclassified to revenue), respectively. Due to the structure of our sales, we will continue to be affected by demand from the IT products industry (comprising the personal computer and tablet computer industries), television industry and the mobile device industry. Any downturn in any of such industries in which our customers operate may result in reduced demand for our products, which may in turn result in reduced revenue, lower average selling prices and/or reduced margins.

(5) Changes in Manufacturing Costs and Difficulties in Securing Supply of Raw Material

If we cannot maintain high capacity utilization rates, our profitability will be adversely affected.

The production of display panels entails high fixed costs resulting from considerable expenditures for the construction of complex fabrication and assembly facilities and the purchase of costly equipment. We aim to realize a higher gross margin and strive to maintain high capacity utilization rates so that we can allocate fixed costs over a greater number of panels produced. However, due to fluctuating demand for our products or overcapacity in the display industry, we may need to adjust utilization rates to a level that is lower than optimal and reduce production. As such, we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to maintain high capacity utilization rates in the future due to possibilities of fluctuation in market and industry conditions.

Limited availability of raw materials, components and manufacturing equipment could materially andadversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our production operations are partly dependent on obtaining adequate supplies of quality raw materials and components on a timely basis. As a result, it is important for us to control our raw material and component costs and reduce the effects of fluctuations in price and availability. In general, we source most of our raw materials as well as key components, such as glass substrates, driver integrated circuits, polarizers and color filters used in both our TFT-LCD and OLED products, backlight units and liquid crystal materials used in our TFT-LCD products and emission materials used in our OLED products, from two or more suppliers for each key component. However, we may establish a working relationship with a single supplier if we believe it is advantageous to do so due to performance, quality, support, delivery, capacity, price or other considerations. We may experience shortages in the supply of these key components, as well as other components or raw materials, as a result of, among other things, anticipated capacity expansion in the display industry or our dependence on a limited number of suppliers. Our results of operations would be adversely affected if we were unable to obtain adequate supplies of high-quality raw materials or components in a timely manner or make alternative arrangements for such supplies in a timely manner.

We have purchased, and expect to purchase, a substantial portion of our equipment from a limited number of qualified foreign and local suppliers. From time to time, increased demand for new equipment may cause lead times to extend beyond those normally required by the equipment vendors. The unavailability of equipment, delays in the delivery of equipment, or the delivery of equipment that does not meet our specifications, could delay implementation of our expansion plans and impair our ability to meet customer orders. This could result in a loss of revenue and cause financial stress on our operations.

(6) Intangible Assets, Including Intellectual Property, and Research and Development Activities<br>

Our business relies on our patent rights which may be narrowed in scope or found to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable.

Our success will be affected, to a significant extent, by our ability to obtain and enforce our patent rights both in Korea and worldwide. The coverage claimed in a patent application can be significantly reduced before a patent is issued, either in Korea or abroad. Consequently, we cannot provide assurance that any of our pending or future patent applications will result in the issuance of patents. Patents issued to us may be subjected to further proceedings limiting their scope and may not provide significant proprietary protection or competitive advantage. Our patents also may be challenged, circumvented, invalidated or deemed unenforceable. In addition, because patent applications in certain countries generally are not published until more than 18 months after they are first filed, and because publication of discoveries in scientific or patent literature often lags behind actual discoveries, we cannot be certain that we were, or any of our licensors was, the first creator of inventions covered by pending patent applications, that we or any of our licensors will be entitled to any rights in purported inventions claimed in pending or future patent applications, or that we were, or any of our licensors was, the first to file patent applications on such inventions.

Furthermore, pending patent applications or patents already issued to us or our licensors may become subject to dispute, and any dispute could be resolved against us. For example, we may become involved in re-examination, reissue or interference proceedings and the result of these proceedings could be the invalidation or substantial narrowing of our patent claims. We also could be subject to court proceedings that could find our patents invalid or unenforceable or could substantially narrow the scope of our patent claims. In addition, depending on the jurisdiction, statutory differences in patentable subject matter may limit the protection we can obtain on some of our inventions.

Failure to protect our intellectual property rights couldimpair our competitiveness and harm our business and future prospects.

We believe that developing new products and technologies that can be differentiated from those of our competitors is critical to the success of our business. We take active measures to obtain international protection of our intellectual property by obtaining patents and undertaking monitoring activities in our major markets. However, we cannot assure you that the measures we are taking will effectively deter competitors from improper use of our proprietary technologies. Our competitors may misappropriate our intellectual property, disputes as to ownership of intellectual property may arise and our intellectual property may otherwise become known or independently developed by our competitors.

Table of Contents

Any failure to protect our intellectual property could impair our competitiveness and harm our business and future prospects.

We also partially rely on technology provided by third parties and our business will suffer if we are unable torenew our licensing arrangements with them.

From time to time, we have obtained licenses for patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights to process and device technologies used in the production of our display panels. We have entered into key licensing arrangements with third parties, for which we have made, and continue to make, periodic license fee payments. In addition, we also have cross-license agreements with certain other third parties. **** These agreements terminate upon the expiration of the respective terms of the patents.

If we are unable to renew our technology licensing arrangements on acceptable terms, we may lose the legal protection to use certain of the processes we employ to manufacture our products and be prohibited from using those processes, which may prevent us from manufacturing and selling certain of our products, including our key products. In addition, we could be at a disadvantage if our competitors obtain licenses for protected technologies on more favorable terms than we do.

In the future, we may also need to obtain additional patent licenses for new or existing technologies. We cannot provide assurance that these license agreements can be obtained or renewed on acceptable terms or at all, and if not, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.

We rely upon trade secrets and other unpatented proprietary know-how to maintain our competitiveposition in the display panel industry and any loss of our rights to, or unauthorized disclosure of, our trade secrets or other unpatented proprietary know-how could negatively affect our business.

We also rely upon trade secrets, unpatented proprietary know-how and information, as well as continuing technological innovation in our business. The information we rely upon includes price forecasts, core technology and key customer information. We enter into confidentiality agreements with each of our employees and consultants upon the commencement of an employment or consulting relationship. These agreements generally provide that all inventions, ideas, discoveries, improvements and copyrightable material made or conceived by the individual arising out of the employment or consulting relationship and all confidential information developed or made known to the individual during the term of the relationship is our exclusive property. We cannot provide assurance that these types of agreements will be fully enforceable, or that they will not be breached. We also cannot be certain that we will have adequate remedies for any such breach. The disclosure of our trade secrets or other know-how as a result of such a breach could adversely affect our business. Also, our competitors may come to know about or determine our trade secrets and other proprietary information through a variety of methods. Disputes may arise concerning the ownership of intellectual property or the applicability or enforceability of our confidentiality agreements, and there can be no assurance that any such disputes would be resolved in our favor. Furthermore, others may acquire or independently develop similar technology, or if patents are not issued with respect to technologies arising from our research, we may not be able to maintain information pertinent to such research as proprietary technology or trade secrets and that could have an adverse effect on our competitive position within the display panel industry.

We have designated R&D organizations for our research and development activities.

Our research organizations consist of the infrastructure technology research center, next-generation technology research center and their designated departments, all of which are overseen by our chief technology officer. Our research organizations conduct research on differentiated and next-generation technologies and basic infrastructure technology as well as enhances our competitiveness by conducting research that is geared toward future product development. Our development organization comprises of groups and departments dedicated to the development of a wide range of television, IT and mobile products, including product-specific circuits, instrument/optics and panel design.

Our research and development related expenditures amounted to ~~W~~2,432 billion in 2022, which represented an increase of ~~W~~305 billion from 2021, as we have continually made investments that seek to strengthen our capabilities for our future businesses.

The book value of our intangible assets increased by ~~W~~108 billion compared to the previous year to ~~W~~1,753 billion as of December 31, 2022.

(7) Sensitivity to Exchange Rates and Inflation

There has been considerable volatility in foreign exchange rates in recent years, including rates between the Korean Won and the U.S. dollar, between the Korean Won and the Chinese Yuan and between the Korean Won and the Japanese Yen. To the extent that we incur costs in one currency and make sales in another, our profit margins may be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the two currencies.

Our sales of display panels are denominated mainly in U.S. dollars, whereas our purchases of raw materials are denominated mainly in U.S. dollars, Japanese Yen and Chinese Yuan. Our expenditures on capital equipment are primarily denominated in Korean Won, U.S. dollars, Chinese Yuan and Japanese Yen. Accordingly, fluctuations in exchange rates, in particular between the U.S. dollar and the Korean Won, between the Japanese Yen and the Korean Won as well as between the Chinese Yuan and the Korean Won, affect our pre-tax income, and in recent years, the value of the Won relative to the U.S. dollar, Chinese Yuan and Japanese Yen has fluctuated widely. Although a depreciation of the Korean Won against the U.S. dollar increases the Korean Won value of our export sales and enhances the price-competitiveness of our products in foreign markets in U.S. dollar terms, it also increases the cost of imported raw materials and components in Korean Won terms and our cost in Korean Won of servicing our U.S. dollar denominated debt. A depreciation of the Korean Won against the Chinese Yuan or Japanese Yen increases the Korean Won cost of our Chinese Yuan- or Japanese Yen-denominated purchases of equipment, raw materials or components, as applicable, but has relatively little impact on our sales as most of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. In addition, continued exchange rate volatility may also result in foreign exchange losses for us. Although a depreciation of the Korean Won against the U.S. dollar, in general, has a net positive impact on our results of operations that more than offsets the net negative impact caused by a depreciation of the Korean Won against the Chinese Yuan or Japanese Yen, we cannot provide assurance that the exchange rate of the Korean Won against foreign currencies will not be subject to significant fluctuations, or that the impact of such fluctuations will not adversely affect the results of our operations.

(8) Impairment Loss

The carrying amounts of our non-financial assets, other than assets arising from employee benefits, inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

In light of our decision to exit from the TFT-LCD television display panel business and shifts in our business strategies, we newly segregated our large-sized OLED business as a separate cash generating unit (“CGU”). As a result, our CGUs consist of the “Display CGU,” “Display (Large OLED) CGU” and “Display (AD PO) CGU” (relating to our plastic OLED business) as of the end of the reporting period.

We tested for impairment with respect to the Display CGU and the Display (Large OLED) CGU during the reporting period. With respect to the Display (AD PO) CGU, for which we recognized impairment loss for the first time in 2019, we did not test for impairment as we did not identify any indication of impairment (or reversal thereof) during the reporting period.

41

Table of Contents

Impairment tests were reviewed and evaluated by third parties in accordance with applicable standards and procedures. As a result of such tests, we did not recognize any impairment loss with respect to the Display CGU, as its recoverable amount exceeded its book value. However, in the case of Display (Large OLED), in light of weaker demand for high-end televisions and a downward adjustment in our forecast for future demand in light of the economic downturn, we recognized an impairment loss of ~~W~~1,330,529 million, which constituted a part of our other non-operating expenses, in 2022. Although our loss for the period increased due to the recognition of such impairment loss, we expect that recognition of such loss will have a positive impact in the future by reducing future uncertainty relating to the affected business. The following table provides a summary of impairment loss as part of our non-operating expenses recognized by applicable CGU(s) in 2022:

(Unit: in millions of won)

CGU Impairment Loss on Property, Plant and<br>Equipment Impairment Loss on Intangible Assets Total
Display (Large OLED) 1,236,563 93,966 1,330,529

See Note 10(4) of the notes to our consolidated annual financial statements included elsewhere in this report for further information regarding our impairment loss.

(9) Changes in Organization and Business Reorganization

In order to secure the fundamental competitiveness of our businesses and to seek sustainable growth, we are accelerating the transition of our business focus to the OLED business, while simultaneously pursuing activities to restructure our LCD business. In light of the downscaling of our TFT-LCD television business, we have repositioned our personnel who were previously involved in the TFT-LCD television business unit to the OLED business unit, for an optimal business structure tailored to our future business. From the overall organizational level, we established an organizational structure geared towards providing value innovations to customers, and we are in the process of rationalizing the organizational structure and reorganizing our business units in order to achieve differentiated competitive strengths and enhanced profitability of our OLED business.

D. Liquidity and capital resources
(1) Liquidity
--- ---

Our main source for the procurement of funds include operations and financing activities. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to ~~W~~3,542 billion and ~~W~~1,825 billion, respectively. Short-term deposits in banks increased by ~~W~~979 billion from ~~W~~743 billion as of December 31, 2021 to ~~W~~1,723 billion as of December 31, 2022 mainly due to an increase in restricted cash deposits in connection with secured borrowings from our subsidiaries.

Our primary use of cash has been to fund capital expenditures related to the expansion and improvement of our production capacity with respect to existing and newly developed products, including the construction and ramping-up of new, or in certain cases, expansion or conversion of existing, fabrication facilities and production lines and the acquisition of new equipment. We also use cash flows from operations for our working capital requirements and servicing our debt payments. We expect our cash requirements for 2023 to be primarily for capital expenditures and repayment of maturing debt.

The details of the consolidated cash and cash equivalents and deposits in banks as of December 31, 2021 and 2022 are as follows:

Net current assets (4,517,485 ) (807,750 ) (3,709,735 ) (459.3)%

We have established short-, mid- and long-term management strategies to continually monitor our cash flows. In addition, we have a sufficient level of cash and cash-equivalent assets to respond to unexpected liquidity risks in the future. Moreover, we are actively managing our liquidity levels by securing committed credit lines from financial institutions and establishing global pooling arrangements with overseas subsidiaries.

(2) Financial liabilities and capital resources

We need to observe certain financial and other covenants under the terms of our debt obligations, the failure to comply with which would put us in defaultunder such debt obligations.

We are subject to financial and other covenants, including maintenance of credit ratings and terms related to specific financial items such as financial ratios, under certain of our debt obligations. **** If we experience an event of default due to our failure to comply with the applicable covenants, the principal amount and interest of our debt instruments may be subject to early repayment.

As of December 31, 2022, we are in compliance with the terms of our debt instruments, and our financial liabilities and capital resources are as follows:

(a) Financial liabilities

Our financial liabilities amounted to ~~W~~15,112 billion in 2022, representing an increase of ~~W~~2,339 billion from 2021. Such increase was mainly attributable to increased borrowing to raise funds for investment in our facilities.

(3) Cash usage
--- ---

Our management constantly monitors our working capital, and we have historically been able to satisfy our cash requirements from cash flows from operations and debt financing. As of December 31, 2022, we believe that we have sufficient working capital for our present requirements.

Our ability to satisfy our cash requirements from cash flows from operations and financing activities will be affected by our ability to maintain and improve our margins and, in the case of external financing, market conditions, which in turn may be affected by several factors outside of our control. Therefore, we re-evaluate our capital requirements regularly in light of our cash flows from operations, the progress of our expansion plans and market conditions. To the extent that we do not generate sufficient cash flows from our operations to meet our capital requirements, we may rely on other financing activities, such as external long-term borrowings and securities offerings, including the issuance of equity, equity-linked and other debt securities.

Our net cash provided by operating activities amounted to ~~W~~5,753 billion in 2021 and ~~W~~3,011 billion in 2022. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities in 2022 compared to 2021 was mainly attributable to a decrease in cash collected from our customers primarily a result of a decrease in our sales revenue.

Our net cash used in investing activities amounted to ~~W~~4,263 billion in 2021 and ~~W~~6,700 billion in 2022. Net cash used in investing activities were primarily in relation to the construction of our new facilities and the expansion and conversion of our existing production facilities, which amounted to ~~W~~3,141 billion in 2021 and ~~W~~5,079 billion in 2022. Such amounts in turn primarily reflected the substantial capital expenditures we have made in connection with investments in order-based businesses, including the planned expansion of our plastic OLED-focused production facility by 2023 and IT panel production facilities by the first quarter of 2024, as well as capital investments in the ordinary course. In 2023, we plan to focus on making capital investments in the ordinary course and investments relating to our order-based businesses, and we expect that our total capital expenditures will be lower compared to 2022. We intend to fund our capital requirements associated with our expansion and construction projects with cash flows from operations and financing activities, such as external long-term borrowings. However, our overall expenditure levels and our allocation among projects are subject to many uncertainties, including the general economic conditions, fiscal policies, government regulations and competitive landscape.

Our net cash used in financing activities amounted to ~~W~~2,466 billion in 2021 and our net cash provided by financing activities amounted to ~~W~~1,946 billion in 2022. The net cash provided (used) by financing activities in 2021 and 2022 primarily reflect long-term borrowings incurred and repaid during such periods.

We are a defendant in two separate civil lawsuits (comprising one damages claim in the United Kingdom filed by private plaintiffs and one damages claim in Israel filed by private plaintiffs) filed against us and certain other TFT-LCD panel manufacturers in connection with alleged anticompetitive behavior of the defendants. In each of these cases, the amount being sought has not been determined, and no trial has been scheduled. While the expected outcome of each of these cases is unclear, we do not believe that any of these cases would have a material effect on our financial conditions. In addition, another civil lawsuit (an unjust enrichment claim in the United States filed by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) that had been filed against us and certain other defendants, which also related to the same alleged anticompetitive behavior of the defendants, was dismissed by the court in October 2022.

Independent Auditors’ Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

LG Display Co., Ltd.:

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of LG Display Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements comprising significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in the Republic of Korea, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

(i) Determination of cash generating unit (CGU) and impairment assessment for Display (Large OLED) CGU<br>

As discussed in Notes 3(k)(ii), 9 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Group’s non-financial assets which consist of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets amount to ~~W~~22,699,890 million as of December 31, 2022. The Group changed its identification of CGU from Display CGU and Display (AD PO) CGU to Display (Large OLED) CGU, Display CGU and Display (AD PO) CGU due to withdrawal of the domestic LCD TV business and the reorganization of the related businesses in 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Group recognized impairment loss of ~~W~~1,330,529 million relating to the Display (Large OLED) CGU. The recoverable amount used by the Group in impairment assessment of the Display (Large OLED) CGU is value in use based on discounted cash flow model.

We identified determination of CGU and impairment assessment for Display (Large OLED) CGU as a key audit matter because determination of CGU requires significant judgement in assessing the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets. In addition, revenue and operating expenditures for the forecast period, discount rate and terminal growth rate used to estimate value in use for impairment assessment of Display (Large OLED) CGU involve significant judgement and minor changes to those assumptions would have a significant effect on the results of the Group’s impairment assessment of Display (Large OLED) CGU.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this key audit matter.

Table of Contents
We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the<br>Group’s non-financial assets impairment assessment process, including controls related to determination of CGU, and development of revenue and operating expenditures forecasts, discount rate and terminal<br>growth rate assumptions for Display (Large OLED) CGU.
We evaluated the Group’s determination of CGU by assessing the basis for identifying the smallest<br>identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets and considering the relevant factors specified by relevant accounting standards.
--- ---
We tested the Group’s businesses inter-dependencies analysis, by inspection of document as to how the Group<br>monitors operations and makes decisions about continuing or disposing of assets and operations.
--- ---
For the impairment assessment of Display (Large OLED) CGU, we compared the Group’s historical revenue and<br>operating expenditures forecasts to actual results to assess the Group’s ability to accurately forecast.
--- ---
We evaluated the revenue and operating expenditures forecasts used to determine the value in use by comparison<br>with the financial budgets approved by the board of directors.
--- ---
We performed sensitivity analysis over discount rate and terminal growth rate assumptions used to estimate value<br>in use for impairment assessment of Display (Large OLED) CGU to assess the impact of changes in those assumptions on the Group’s impairment assessment.
--- ---
We involved our valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted us in the following:<br>
--- ---
testing discount rate by comparing it against independently developed rate using publicly available market data<br>for comparable entities; and
--- ---
testing revenue, operating expenditures forecasts and terminal growth rate by comparing them against analyst<br>reports, industry reports and historical performance of the Group.
--- ---
(ii) Assessment of recognition of deferred tax assets
--- ---

As discussed in Notes 3(s) and 25 to the consolidated financial statements, the deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unrecognized tax credit carryforwards can be utilized. The Group had ~~W~~2,645,077 million of deferred tax assets and ~~W~~660,670 million of unrecognized tax credit carryforwards, as of December 31, 2022, primarily related to Korea.

We identified the assessment of the recognition of deferred tax assets as a key audit matter because it involves high degree of subjective management judgment in estimating future taxable profits over the periods in which the above mentioned differences become deductible and within the periods before the unused tax losses and tax credit carryforwards expire. The subjectivity is primarily driven by the Group’s assumptions in revenue, operating expenditures, which are used to estimate the forecasted taxable income in the future.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address the key audit matter.

We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal control related to the<br>Group’s deferred tax assets recognition process, including control related to the development of assumptions in determining the future taxable income for each year.
We analyzed the Group’s estimates of future taxable income, including analyzing the Group’s forecasted<br>revenue and operating expenditures by comparing them with the financial budgets approved by the board of directors and historical performance.
--- ---
We compared the forecasts of taxable income and utilization of tax losses and tax credit carryforwards made in<br>2021 with the actual results in 2022 to assess the Group’s ability to accurately forecast.
--- ---
We also evaluated the Group’s assessment on the history of realizing deferred tax assets in connection with<br>the unused tax losses carryforwards.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether these consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. ‘Reasonable assurance’ is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to<br>fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is<br>higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are<br>appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
--- ---
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and<br>related disclosures made by management.
--- ---
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on<br>the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, then we<br>are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained<br>up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
--- ---
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the<br>disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
--- ---
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business<br>activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.<br>

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report is In Hye Kang.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

2. Basis of Presenting Financial Statements
(a) Statement of Compliance
--- ---

In accordance with the Act on External Audits of Stock Companies, Etc., these consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”).

The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on January 26, 2023, which will be submitted for approval to the shareholders’ meeting to be held on March 21, 2023.

(b) Basis of Measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the consolidated statement of financial position:

derivative financial instruments at fair value, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss<br>(“FVTPL”), financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), and
net defined benefit liabilities (defined benefit assets) recognized at the present value of defined benefit<br>obligations less the fair value of plan assets
--- ---
(c) Functional and Presentation Currency
--- ---

Each subsidiary’s financial statements within the Group are presented in the subsidiary’s functional currency, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which each subsidiary operates.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Korean won, which is the Controlling Company’s functional currency.

(d) Use of Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with K-IFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Information about judgments made applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes:

Financial instruments (Note 3(e))
Intangible assets (Impairment assessment of non-financial assets,<br>including determination of cash generating unit) (Note 3(k), 10)
--- ---
Deferred tax assets and liabilities (recognition of deferred tax assets) (Note 3(s), 25)

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
--- ---

The significant accounting policies applied in these consolidated financial statements are as follows and they have been consistently applied for all periods presented, except if mentioned otherwise:

(a) Consolidation
(i) Business Combinations
--- ---

The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method except for a combination of entities or businesses under common control. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. If the aggregate sum of consideration transferred and non-controlling interest exceeds the fair value of identifiable net asset, the Group recognizes goodwill; if not, then the Group recognizes gain on a bargain purchase. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity instruments in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1032 and K-IFRS No. 1109. The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognized in profit or loss.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
(a) Consolidation, Continued
--- ---
(ii) Subsidiaries
--- ---

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has right to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.

(iii) Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests (“NCI”) are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date. Profit or loss and other comprehensive income (loss) of subsidiaries are attributed to owners of the Controlling Company and non-controlling interests.

Changes in the Group’s interest in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

(iv) Loss of Control

If the Controlling Company loses control of subsidiaries, the Controlling Company derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the former subsidiaries from the consolidated statement of financial position and recognizes the gain or loss associated with the loss of control attributable to the former controlling interest. Meanwhile, the Controlling Company recognizes any investment retained in the former subsidiaries at its fair value when control is lost.

(v) Associates and joint ventures (equity method investees)

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies. A joint venture is an arrangement in which the parties have joint control, whereby the parties have rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities.

Investments in associates and joint ventures are initially recognized at cost and subsequently accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The carrying amount of investments in associates and joint ventures is increased or decreased to recognize the Group’s share of the profits or losses and changes in the Group’s proportionate interest of the investee after the date of acquisition. Distributions received from an investee reduce the carrying amount of the investment.

If an associate or a joint venture uses accounting policies different from those of the Controlling Company for like transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to the consolidated financial statements. As of and during the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements, no adjustments were made in applying the equity method.

When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest, including any long-term investments, is reduced to nil, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.

(a) Consolidation, Continued
--- ---
(vi) Transactions eliminated on consolidation
--- ---

Intra-group balances and transactions, including income and expenses and any unrealized income and expenses and balance of trade accounts and notes receivable and payable arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with equity-accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

(b) Foreign Currency Transaction and Translation

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate on the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was originally determined. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognized in profit or loss, except for differences arising on an investment in equity instruments designated as at FVOCI and a financial asset and liability designated as a cash flow hedge, which are recognized in other comprehensive income. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Foreign currency differences arising from assets and liabilities in relation to the investing and financing activities including borrowings, bonds and cash and cash equivalents are recognized in finance income (costs) in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) and foreign currency differences arising from assets and liabilities in relation to activities other than investing and financing activities are recognized in other non-operating income (expense) in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency differences are presented in gross amounts in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

If the presentation currency of the Group is different from a foreign operation’s functional currency, the financial position and financial performance of the foreign operation are translated into the presentation currency using the following methods. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, whose functional currency is not the currency of a hyperinflationary economy are translated to the Group’s functional currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to the Group’s functional currency at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions and foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Relevant proportionate shares of foreign currency differences are allocated to the controlling interests and non-controlling interests. When a foreign operation is disposed of in its entirety or partially such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. If the Group disposes part of its interest in a subsidiary but retains control, then the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to NCI. When the Group disposes of only part of an associate or joint venture while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition of that foreign operation is treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation. Thus, they are expressed in the functional currency of the foreign operation and translated at the at each reporting date’s exchange rate.

(c) Cash and cash equivalents
--- ---

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash.

(d) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted-average method, and includes expenditures incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated selling expenses. In the case of manufactured inventories and work-in-process, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on the actual capacity of production facilities. However, the normal capacity is used for the allocation of fixed production overheads if the actual level of production is lower than the normal capacity.

(e) Financial Instruments
(i) Non-derivative financial assets
--- ---

Recognition and initial measurement

Trade receivables and debt instruments issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets are recognized in statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

Classification and subsequentmeasurement

i) Financial assets

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; FVOCI – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investments; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the subsequent reporting period following the change in the business model.

A financial asset is measured as at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and<br>
its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and<br>interest on the principal amount outstanding.

(e) Financial Instruments, Continued
--- ---

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and<br>selling financial assets; and
the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and<br>interest on the principal amount outstanding.
--- ---

On initial recognition of an equity investments that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in OCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured as at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. At initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

ii) Financial assets: business model

The Group makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at a portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The information considered includes:

the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice (these<br>include whether management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash<br>outflows or realizing cash flows through the sale of the assets);
how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Group’s management;<br>
--- ---
the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business<br>model) and how those risks are managed; and
--- ---
the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and<br>expectations about future sales activity.
--- ---

Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transaction that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sale for this purpose.

A financial asset that is held for trading or is managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis is measured at FVTPL.

iii) Financial assets: Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest<br>
--- ---

For the purpose of the assessment, “principal” is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and cost (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as profit margin.

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Group considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Group considers:

contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows:
terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable-rate features;
--- ---
prepayment and extension features; and
--- ---
terms that limit the Group’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g.<br>non-recourse features)
--- ---

A prepayment feature is consistent with the solely payments of principal and interest criterion if the prepayment amount substantially represents unpaid amounts of principal and interest or the principal amount outstanding, which may include reasonable additional compensation for early termination of the contract.

Additionally, for a financial asset acquired at a discount or premium to its contractual par amount, a feature that permits or requires prepayment at an amount that substantially represents the contractual par amount plus accrued but unpaid contractual interest (which may also include reasonable additional compensation for early termination) is treated as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment feature is insignificant at initial recognition.

iv) Financial assets: Subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial assets at FVTPL These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.
--- ---
Financial assets at amortized cost These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in<br>profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
Debt investments at FVOCI These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are<br>recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.

Derecognition

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows of the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred, or it transfers or does not retain substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred asset, and does not retain control of the transferred asset.

If the Group has retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred asset, the Group continues to recognize the transferred asset.

Interestrate benchmark reform

In case the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of a financial asset or financial liability measured at amortized cost changed as a result of interest rate benchmark reform, the Group updates the effective interest rate of the financial asset or financial liability to reflect the change that is required by the reform if both of the following conditions are met:

the change is necessary as a direct consequence of the reform; and
the new basis for determining the contractual cash flows is economically equivalent to the previous basis –<br>i.e. the basis immediately before the change.
--- ---

When changes were made to a financial asset or financial liability in addition to changes to the basis for determining the contractual cash flows required by interest rate benchmark reform, the Group first updates the effective interest rate of the financial asset or financial liability to reflect the change that is required by interest rate benchmark reform. After that, the Group applies the policies on accounting for modifications to the additional changes.

Offset

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the consolidated statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities

The Group classifies financial liabilities into two categories, financial liabilities at FVTPL and other financial liabilities in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of financial liabilities, and recognizes them in the consolidated statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading or designated as such upon initial recognition at FVTPL. After initial recognition, financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss. Upon initial recognition, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

--- ---

Non-derivative financial liabilities other than financial liabilities classified as at FVTPL are classified as other financial liabilities and measured initially at fair value minus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of financial liabilities. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. As of December 31, 2022, non-derivative financial liabilities comprise borrowings, bonds, trade accounts and notes payable, other accounts payable and others.

The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.

(iii) Share Capital

The Group issued common stocks and they are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of common stocks are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of tax effects. Capital contributed in excess of par value upon issuance of common stocks is classified as share premium within equity.

(iv) Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described below.

Hedge Accounting

If necessary, the Group designates derivatives as hedging items to hedge the risk of changes in the fair value of assets, liabilities or firm commitments (a fair value hedge) and foreign currency risk of highly probable forecasted transactions or firm commitments (a cash flow hedge).

On initial designation of the hedge, the Group’s management formally designates and documents the relationship between the hedging instrument(s) and hedged item(s), including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction, together with the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis.

i) Fair value hedges

Change in the fair value of a derivative hedging instrument designated as a fair value hedge and the hedged item is recognized in profit or loss, respectively. The gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instrument at fair value and the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in profit or loss in the same line item of the statement of comprehensive income (loss). The Group discontinues fair value hedge accounting if it does not designate the derivative hedging instrument and the hedged item as the hedge relationship between them anymore; if the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised; or if the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting.

ii) Cash flow hedges
--- ---

When a derivative designated as a cash flow hedging instrument meets the criteria of cash flow hedge accounting, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in profit or loss. The Group discontinues cash flow hedge accounting if it does not designate the derivative hedging instrument and the hedged item as the hedge relationship between them anymore; if the hedging instruments expires or is sold, terminated or exercised; or if the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss in the periods during which the forecasted transaction occurs. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the balance in other comprehensive income is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

The Group is applying cash flow hedge accounting by designating expected foreign currency denominated sales arising from forecast export transactions as hedging items and the derivative instruments related to forward exchange as hedging instruments. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in equity and the amount accumulated in equity is reclassified to revenue in the same period which forecast sales occur.

Embedded derivative

Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the host contract is not a financial asset and certain criteria are met.

Other derivative financial instruments

Other derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value and changes of their fair value are recognized in profit or loss.

(f) Property, Plant and Equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
--- ---

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes an expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labor, any costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located and borrowing costs on qualifying assets.

The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item and recognized in other non-operating income or other non-operating expenses.

(f) Property, Plant and Equipment, Continued
--- ---
(ii) Subsequent costs
--- ---

Subsequent expenditure on an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized as part of its cost only if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

(iii) Depreciation

Land is not depreciated and depreciation of other items of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis, reflecting the pattern in which the asset’s future economic benefits are expected to be consumed by the Group. The residual value of property, plant and equipment is zero.

Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

Estimated<br>useful lives<br>(years)
Buildings and structures 20~40
Machinery 4, 5
Furniture and fixtures 4
Equipment, tools and vehicles 2, 4, 12
Right-of-use<br>assets (*)
(*) The Group depreciates the<br>right-of-use assets from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the<br>right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.
--- ---

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate and any changes are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.

(g) Borrowing Costs

The Group capitalizes borrowing costs, which includes interests and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs, directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset as part of the cost of that asset. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. To the extent that the Group borrows funds specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the Group determines the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization as the actual borrowing costs incurred on that borrowing during the period less any investment income on the temporary investment of those borrowings. The Group immediately recognizes other borrowing costs as an expense.

(h) Government Grants
--- ---

In case there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to a government grant, the government grant is recognized as follows:

(i) Grants related to the purchase or construction of assets

A government grant related to the purchase or construction of assets is deducted in calculating the carrying amount of the asset. The grant is recognized in profit or loss over the life of a depreciable asset as a reduced depreciation expense and cash related to grant received is presented in investing activities in the statement of cash flows.

(ii) Grants for compensating the Group’s expenses incurred

A government grant that compensates the Group for expenses incurred is recognized in profit or loss as a deduction from relevant expenses on a systematic basis in the periods in which the expenses are recognized.

(iii) Other government grants

A government grant that becomes receivable for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or no future related costs is recognized as income of the period in which it becomes receivable.

(i) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. Subsequently, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.

(i) Goodwill

Goodwill arising from business combinations is recognized as the excess of the acquisition cost of a business over the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any deficit is a bargain purchase that is recognized in profit or loss. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

(ii) Research and development

Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Development activities involve a plan or design of the production of new or substantially improved products and processes. Development expenditure is capitalized as intangible assets only if the Group can demonstrate all of the following:

--- ---
the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or<br>sell the intangible asset, and
--- ---
its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.<br>
--- ---

Development projects are divided into research activities and development activities. Expenditures on research activities are recognized in profit or loss and qualifying development expenditures on development activities are capitalized.

The expenditure capitalized includes the cost of materials, direct labor and overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use, and borrowing costs on qualifying assets.

(iii) Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets include intellectual property rights, software, customer relationships, technology, memberships and others. The Group currently has a number of patent license agreements related to product production. When the amount of payments for the entire contract period can be reliably determined, the total undiscounted amount is recognized as intangible assets as intellectual property rights and other account payables, respectively, and the intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the patent license period.

(iv) Subsequent costs

Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific intangible asset to which they relate. All other expenditures, including expenditures on internally generated goodwill and brands, are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

(v) Amortization

Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use. The residual value of intangible assets is zero. However, as there are no foreseeable limits to the periods over which condominium and golf club memberships are expected to be available for use, these intangible assets are regarded as having indefinite useful lives and not amortized.

Amortization periods and the amortization methods for intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed at each financial year-end. The useful lives of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are reviewed at each financial year-end to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support indefinite useful life assessments for those assets. If appropriate, the changes are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.

(j) Investment Property

Property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both is classified as investment property. Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs incurred at the time of acquisition, and subsequently, measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

Subsequent expenditure on an item of investment property is recognized as part of its cost only if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized. All other subsequent expenditures are expensed in the period in which it is incurred.

Among investment properties, land is not depreciated, and investment properties except land are depreciated on a straight-line basis by applying 20 years of the building according to the economic depreciation period. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values of investment properties are reviewed at each reporting period-end and if appropriate, the changes are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.

(i) Financial assets

Financial instruments and contract assets

The Group recognizes loss allowance for financial assets measured at amortized cost and debt investments at FVOCI at the ‘expected credit loss’ (ECL).

The Group recognizes a loss allowance for the life-time expected credit losses except for following, which are measured at 12-month ECLs:

debt instruments that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and
other debt instruments and bank deposits for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the<br>expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.
--- ---

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both qualitative and quantitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment including forward-looking information.

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

(k) Impairment, Continued
--- ---

12-month ECLs are the portion of the ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.

Estimation of expected credit losses

Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured using the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows and the expected contractual cash flows. The expected credit losses are discounted using effective interest rate of the financial assets.

Credit-impaired financial assets

At each reporting period-end, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt instruments at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial<br>difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider;
--- ---
it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or<br>
--- ---
the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.
--- ---

Presentation of loss allowance for ECL in the consolidated statement of financial position

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt instruments at FVOCI, the loss allowance is charged to profit or loss and is recognized in OCI instead of reducing the carrying amount of financial assets in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Write-off

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations for recovering the financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. The Group assess whether there are reasonable expectations of recovering the contractual cash flows from customers and individually assess the timing and amount of write-off. The Group expects no significant recovery from the amount written-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

(k) Impairment, Continued
--- ---
(ii) Non-financial assets
--- ---

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than assets arising from employee benefits, inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill, and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, the recoverable amount is estimated each year.

Recoverable amount is estimated for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Group determines the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit (“CGU”) is the smallest group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. In identifying whether cash inflows from an asset or group of assets are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets, the Group considers various factors including how management monitors the entity’s operations or how management makes decisions about continuing or disposing of the entity’s assets and operations. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is determined as the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. Fair value less costs to sell is based on the best information available to reflect the amount that the Group could obtain from the disposal of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, after deducting the costs of disposal.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of a CGU are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the unit on a pro rata basis.

In respect of assets other than goodwill, impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of accumulated depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized from the acquisition cost. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.

(l) Leases
--- ---

A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

(i) As a lessee

At commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone price. For certain leases, the Group accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component by applying the practical expedient not to separate non-lease components.

The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at of before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option. In that case, the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;<br>
variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the<br>commencement date;
--- ---
amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
--- ---
the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an<br>optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early.
--- ---

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
(l) Leases, Continued
--- ---

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment.

When the lease liability is remeasured, the Group recognizes the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Group recognizes any remaining amount of the remeasurement in profit or loss.

The Group presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in ‘property, plant and equipment’ and lease liabilities in ‘financial liabilities’ in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-term leases. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(ii) As a lessor

When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.

To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Group considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, then the Group applies K-IFRS No. 1115 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

At the commencement date, the Group recognizes assets held under a finance lease in its statement of financial position and present them as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease and recognize finance income over the lease term, based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the lessor’s net investment in the lease.

The Group recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of ‘other revenue’.

(m) Provisions
--- ---

A provision is recognized as a result of a past event, if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.

The risks and uncertainties that inevitably surround events and circumstances are taken into account in reaching the best estimate of a provision. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined at the present value of the expected future cash flows. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.

Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.

The Group recognizes a liability for warranty obligations based on the estimated costs expected to be incurred under its basic limited warranty. This warranty covers defective products and is normally applicable for a warranty period from the date of purchase. These liabilities are accrued when product revenues are recognized. Factors that affect the Group’s warranty liability include historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims on those repairs and cost per claim to satisfy the Group’s warranty obligation. Warranty costs primarily include raw materials and labor costs. As these factors are impacted by actual experience and future expectations, management periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Accrued warranty obligations are included in the current and non-current provisions.

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources, are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated.

(n) Non-current Assets Held for Sale

Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held-for-sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily from sale rather than through continuing use. In order to be classified as held for sale, the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition and its sale is highly probable. The assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as non-current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell on initial classification. The Group recognizes an impairment loss for any subsequent decrease in fair value of the asset (or disposal group) for which an impairment loss was recognized on initial classification as held-for-sale and a gain for any subsequent increase in fair value in profit or losses, up to the cumulative impairment loss previously recognized.

The Group does not depreciate a non-current asset while it is classified as held for sale or while it is part of a disposal group classified as held for sale.

(o) Employee Benefits
--- ---
(i) Short-term employee benefits
--- ---

Short-term employee benefits that are due to be settled within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in profit or loss on an undiscounted basis. The expected cost of profit-sharing and bonus plans and others are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to make payments as a result of past events and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.

(ii) Other long-term employee benefits

The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than pension plans is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods.

(iii) Defined contribution plan

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the period during which services are rendered by employees.

(iv) Defined benefit plan

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than defined contribution plans. The Group’s net obligation in respect of its defined benefit plan is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The fair value of any plan assets is deducted.

The calculation is performed annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid. The Group recognizes all actuarial gains and losses arising from defined benefit plans in retained earnings immediately.

The Group determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Consequently, the net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) now comprises: interest cost on the defined benefit obligation, interest income on plan assets, and interest on the effect on the asset ceiling.

When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Group recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

The Group recognizes expense for termination benefits at the earlier of the date when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the entity recognizes costs for a restructuring involving the payment of termination benefits. If the termination benefits are not expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period, the Group measures the termination benefit with present value of future cash payments.

(p) Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of estimated returns, trade discounts, volume rebates and other cash incentives paid to customers.

The Group recognizes revenue according to the five stage revenue recognition model (

LOGO Identifying the contract

LOGO Identifying performance obligations

LOGO Determining transaction price

LOGO Allocating the transaction price to performance obligations

LOGO Recognizing revenue for performance obligations).

The Group generates revenue primarily from sale of display panels. Product revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control over the Group’s products, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery depending on the terms of the contracts with the customer.

The Group includes return option in the sales contract of display panels with its customers and the consideration receivable from the customer is subject to change due to returns. The Group estimates an amount of variable consideration by using the expected value method which the Group expects to better predict the amount of consideration. The Group includes in the transaction price an amount of variable consideration estimated only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur during the return period when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Group recognizes a refund liability and an asset for its right to recover products from customers if the Group receives consideration from a customer and expects to refund some or all of that consideration to the customer. Sales taxes or value-added taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and are excluded from revenues in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

(q) Operating Segments

An operating segment is a component of the Group that: 1) engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with other components of the group, 2) whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the Group’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in order to allocate resources and assess its performance, and 3) for which discrete financial information is available. Management has determined that the CODM of the Group is the Board of Directors. The CODM does not receive and therefore does not review discrete financial information for any component of the Group. Consequently, no operating segment information is included in these consolidated financial statements. Entity wide disclosures of geographic and product revenue information are provided in Note 18 to these consolidated financial statements.

(r) Finance Income and Finance Costs
--- ---

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested (including debt instruments measured at FVOCI), dividend income, gains on disposal of debt instruments measured at FVOCI and changes in fair value of financial instruments at FVTPL. Interest income is recognized as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date that the Group’s right to receive payment is established.

Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions, gain and losses from financial instruments measured at FVTPL and impairment losses recognized on financial assets. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset.

(s) Income Tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

(i) Current tax

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable profit or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. The taxable profit is different from the accounting profit for the period since the taxable profit is calculated excluding the temporary differences, which will be taxable or deductible in determining taxable profit (tax loss) of future periods, and non-taxable or non-deductible items from the accounting profit.

(ii) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized, using the asset and liability method, in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
(s) Income Tax, Continued
--- ---

The Group recognizes a deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and interests in joint ventures, except to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. A deferred tax asset is recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that the differences relating to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

The Group offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if, and only if the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

(t) Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Controlling Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) data for its common stocks. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Controlling Company by the weighted average number of common stocks outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of common stocks outstanding, adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential common stocks such as convertible bonds and others.

(u) Standards issued but not yet effective

A number of amended standards are effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2022 and earlier application is permitted; however, the Group has not early adopted the amended standards in preparing these consolidated financial statements.

(i) Classification of current/non-current liabilities (K-IFRS<br>No. 1001, ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’.)

The amendments clarify that in order for the borrower to have the right to defer payment of liabilities, it must fulfil the conditions of complying with all contractual compliance at the end of the reporting period. Additionally, the possibility of the borrower exercising the right to defer settlement of liabilities for more than 12 months after the reporting period does not affect the liquidity classification of liabilities. In addition, when the settlement of liabilities includes the transfer of equity instruments, where compound financial instrument has a liability and equity portion separately recognised, it does not affect the classification for liquidity purposes. The IASB has published an amendment that postpones the effective date of amendments to no earlier than January 1, 2024, and the Korean Accounting Standards Board plans to revise the K-IFRS accordingly. The Group is monitoring the revision process.

(i) Changes in Cash Generating Unit(“CGU”)

During 2022, the Group distinguished Display (Large OLED) CGU as a separate CGU from the existing Display CGU due to withdrawal of the domestic LCD TV business and the reorganization of the related businesses. As of December 31, 2022, the Group’s cash-generating units consist of Display CGU, Display (Large OLED) CGU and Display (AD PO) CGU. Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the related CGUs are as follows:

(In millions of won)

(*) During 2022, a portion of goodwill allocated to Display CGU as of December 31, 2021 was re-allocated to Display (Large OLED) CGU.
--- ---
(ii) Impairment assessment on CGU
--- ---

As of December 31, 2022, the Group performed impairment tests for Display CGU and Display (Large OLED) CGU. No impairment test was performed for Display (AD PO) CGU, impairment loss for which was initially recognized in 2019, as there was no indicator of impairment or reversal identified during 2022.

The recoverable amount of each CGU is determined based on its value in use. Value in use is calculated using the estimated cash flow based on 5-year business plan approved by management. The estimated revenue and operating expenditures of the Group’s products used in the forecast was determined considering external sources and the Group’s past experience. Management estimated the future cash flows based on its past performance and forecasts on market growth. The key assumptions used in the estimation of value in use for Display CGU and Display (Large OLED) CGU include revenue and operating expenditures for the forecast period, growth rates for subsequent years (“terminal growth rate”), and discount rate. Terminal growth rate and the discount rate used in the estimation of value in use are as follows.

Pre-tax<br>discount rate(*) Post-tax<br>discount rate(*) Terminal growth rate
2022
Display CGU 10.8 % 9.0 % 1.0 %
Display (Large OLED) CGU 10.5 % 9.0 % 1.0 %
2021
Display CGU 10.5 % 8.4 % 1.0 %

(d) Impairment assessment on CGU, Continued
--- ---
(*) The discount rate was calculated using the weighted average cost of equity capital and debt and the beta of<br>equity capital was calculated as the average of five global listed companies in the same industry and the Group. Cost of debt was calculated using the yield rate of non-guaranteed corporate bond considering<br>the Group’s credit rating and debt ratio was determined using the average of the debt ratios of the five global listed companies in the same industry and the Group. The Group calculates the value in use of each CGU using post-tax cash flows and a post-tax discount rate, and the result is not significantly different from the value in use calculated using pre-tax cash flows and pre-tax discount rate.
--- ---

As a result of impairment test for Display CGU, the recoverable amount exceeded its carrying amount by ~~W~~365,774 million. Management has identified that a reasonably possible change in two key assumptions could cause the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount. The value in use determined for this CGU is sensitive to the discount rate and terminal growth rate used in the discounted cash flow model. Specifically, the discount rate and terminal growth rate would need to increase by 0.28% and decrease by 0.31%, individually (holding all the other assumptions constant) for the estimated recoverable amount to be equal to the carrying amount.

As a result of the impairment test, due to unfavorable changes in the business environment, the carrying amount of Display (Large OLED) CGU exceeded the recoverable amount of ~~W~~2,999,393 million and an impairment loss of ~~W~~1,330,529 million was recognized as other non-operating expenses. If the discount rate increases by 0.5%, the value in use would have decreased by ~~W~~262,590 million (8.8%) and if the terminal growth rate decreases by 0.5%, the value in use would have decreased by ~~W~~201,256 million (6.7%).

27. Financial Risk Management

The Group is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risks. The Group identifies and analyzes such risks, and controls are implemented under a risk management system to monitor and manage these risks at below an acceptable level.

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices, will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

(i) Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Controlling Company, Korean won (KRW). The currencies in which these transactions primarily are denominated are USD, CNY, JPY, etc.

Interest on borrowings is accrued in the currency of the borrowing. Generally, borrowings are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by the underlying operations of the Group, primarily KRW, USD and CNY.

The Group adopts policies to ensure that its net exposure is kept to a manageable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances. In respect of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Group manages currency risk through continuously managing the position of foreign currencies, measuring the currency risk and, if necessary, using derivatives such as currency forwards, currency swap and others.

ii) Sensitivity analysis

A weaker won, as indicated below, against the following currencies which comprise the Group’s assets or liabilities denominated in a foreign currency as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considers to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, would remain constant. The changes in equity and profit or loss would have been as follows:

(In millions of won) December 31, 2021
Profit or loss Equity Profit or loss
(5 percent weakening) (114,317 ) (23,215 ) (74,214 ) 2,339
(5 percent weakening) (8,614 ) (8,541 ) (5,437 ) (3,288 )
CNY (5 percent weakening) (105,926 ) (5 ) (64,732 ) 172
TWD (5 percent weakening) 68 3 70 5
(5 percent weakening) 896 (281 ) 178 (858 )
PLN (5 percent weakening) 11 11 29 29
VND (5 percent weakening) (6,161 ) (6,161 ) (3,865 ) (3,865 )

All values are in Japanese Yen.

A stronger won against the above currencies as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 would have had the equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

iii) Derivatives for cash flow hedge
--- ---

In relation to forecast export transactions, the Group used derivative instruments to hedge fluctuations in future cash flows due to foreign currency exchange rate changes. There is no derivative with cash flow hedging accounting as December 31, 2022. The amount which have been reclassified from reserve to profit (revenue) for the year ended December 31, 2022 is ~~W~~212,956 million as a result of realization of forecast export transactions.

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk arises principally from the Group’s variable interest-bearing bonds and borrowings. The Group establishes and applies its policy to reduce uncertainty arising from fluctuations in interest rates and to minimize finance cost and manages interest rate risk by monitoring of trends of fluctuations in interest rate and establishing plan for countermeasures. Meanwhile, the Group entered into cross currency interest rate swap contracts amounting to USD 1,730 million (~~W~~2,192,429 million) and interest rate swap contracts amounting to ~~W~~470,000 million in notional amount to hedge interest rate risk with respect to variable interest bearing borrowings.

i) Profile

The interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

(In millions of won)

(iii) Managing interest rate benchmark reform and associated risks
--- ---

A fundamental reform of major interest rate benchmarks is being undertaken globally, including the replacement of some interbank offered rates (IBORs) with alternative risk-free rates (referred to as ‘IBOR reform’). The publication of LIBOR, except overnight, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month USD LIBORs, was terminated as of December 31, 2021 and the five LIBORs, as mentioned above, will be discontinued by June 30, 2023.

The Group does not have financial instruments affected by already discontinued LIBORs. The Group plans to change benchmark interest rate applied to some of its financial instruments from LIBORs to Secured Overnight Financing Rates (SOFRs), an alternative indicator interest rate. For these LIBOR-related financial instruments, the LIBORs are continued to be published. Meanwhile, in the case of the CD rate, an alternative reference rate was selected as the Korea Overnight Financing Repo Rate (KOFR) as part of the reform of the interest rate benchmark. However, unlike LIBOR, the termination of the publication of the CD rate is not scheduled, and the Group does not have plan to change to KOFR.

The Group is exposed to the legal risk of changing the contract of financial instruments due to the reform of the interest rate indicator, as well as the process and operational risks to deal with such changes. In addition, the Group is also exposed to the risk of monitoring the market trend on the alternative index interest rate and establishing a risk management strategy accordingly to manage the risk of the new alternative index interest rate. The Group manages and monitors the transition to alternative interest rate benchmark by evaluating the extent to which a contract references IBOR cash flows, whether such contracts will need to be amended as a result of IBOR reform and how to manage communication about IBOR reform with counterparties.

The Group monitors the transition to an alternative interest rate benchmark by reviewing the total amounts of contracts that have yet to transition to an alternative benchmark rate and the amounts of such contracts that include an appropriate fallback clause. The Group considers that a contract is not yet transitioned to an alternative benchmark rate when interest rate under the contract is indexed to a benchmark rate that is still subject to IBOR reform, even if it includes a fallback clause that deals with the cessation of the existing IBOR (“unreformed contracts”). As of December 31, 2022, the total amounts of unreformed contracts and those with appropriate fallback language are as follows, and the financial instruments that will be settled before June 30, 2023 are excluded:

(b) Credit risk
--- ---

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers.

The Group’s exposure to credit risk of trade and other receivables is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management believes that the default risk of the country in which each customer operates, do not have a significant influence on credit risk since the majority of the customers are global electronic appliance manufacturers operating in global markets.

The Group establishes credit limits for each customer and each new customer is analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively before determining whether to utilize third party guarantees, insurance or factoring as appropriate.

In relation to the impairment of financial assets subsequent to initial recognition, the Group recognizes the changes in expected credit loss (“ECL”) in profit or loss at each reporting date.

(c) Liquidity risk
--- ---

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or other financial assets. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

The Group has historically been able to satisfy its cash requirements from cash flows from operations and debt and equity financing. To the extent that the Group does not generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its capital requirements, the Group may rely on other financing activities, such as external long-term borrowings and offerings of debt instruments, equity-linked and other debt instruments. In addition, the Group maintains a line of credit with various banks.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments, as of December 31, 2022.

(e) Determination of fair value
--- ---
(i) Measurement of fair value
--- ---

A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

i) Current assets and liabilities

The carrying amounts approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

ii) Trade receivables and other receivables

The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. This fair value is determined for disclosure purposes. The carrying amounts of current receivables approximate their fair value.

iii) Investments in equity and debt securities

The fair value of marketable financial assets at FVTPL and FVOCI is determined by reference to their quoted closing bid price at the reporting date. The fair value of non-marketable instruments is determined using the results of fair value assessment performed by external valuation institutions and others.

iv) Non-derivative financial liabilities

Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, except for the liabilities at FVTPL, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.

v) Derivatives

The inputs used to measure the fair value of currency forward and cross currency interest rate swap are calculated based on the exchange rates and interest rates observable in the market at the reporting date.

We also have audited, in accordance with the Standards on Auditing, the Company’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Conceptual Framework for Designing and Operating Internal Control over Financial Reporting issued by the Operating Committee of Internal Control over Financial Reporting in Korea, and our report dated March 3, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the separate financial statements in the Republic of Korea, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the separate financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the separate financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

(i) Determination of cash generating unit (CGU) and impairment assessment for Display (Large OLED) CGU<br>

As discussed in Notes 3(k)(ii), 9 and 10 to the separate financial statements, the Company’s non-financial assets which consist of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets amount to ~~W~~15,680,025 million as of December 31, 2022. The Company changed its identification of CGU from Display CGU and Display (AD PO) CGU to Display (Large OLED) CGU, Display CGU and Display (AD PO) CGU due to withdrawal of the domestic LCD TV business and the reorganization of the related businesses in 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized impairment loss of ~~W~~389,260 million relating to the Display (Large OLED) CGU. The recoverable amount used by the Company in impairment assessment of the Display (Large OLED) CGU is value in use based on discounted cash flow model.

Table of Contents

We identified determination of CGU and impairment assessment for Display (Large OLED) CGU as a key audit matter because determination of CGU requires significant judgement in assessing the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets. In addition, revenue and operating expenditures for the forecast period, discount rate and terminal growth rate used to estimate value in use for impairment assessment of Display (Large OLED) CGU involve significant judgement and minor changes to those assumptions would have a significant effect on the results of the Company’s impairment assessment of Display (Large OLED) CGU.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this key audit matter.

We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the<br>Company’s non-financial assets impairment assessment process, including controls related to determination of CGU, and development of revenue and operating expenditures forecasts, discount rate and<br>terminal growth rate assumptions for Display (Large OLED) CGU.
We evaluated the Company’s determination of CGU by assessing the basis for identifying the smallest<br>identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets and considering the relevant factors specified by relevant accounting standards.
--- ---
We tested the Company’s businesses inter-dependencies analysis, by inspection of document as to how the<br>Company monitors operations and makes decisions about continuing or disposing of assets and operations.
--- ---
For the impairment assessment of Display (Large OLED) CGU, we compared the Company’s historical revenue and<br>operating expenditures forecasts to actual results to assess the Company’s ability to accurately forecast.
--- ---
We evaluated the revenue and operating expenditures forecasts used to determine the value in use by comparison<br>with the financial budgets approved by the board of directors.
--- ---
We performed sensitivity analysis over discount rate and terminal growth rate assumptions used to estimate value<br>in use for impairment assessment of Display (Large OLED) CGU to assess the impact of changes in those assumptions on the Company’s impairment assessment.
--- ---
We involved our valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted us in the following:<br>
--- ---
testing discount rate by comparing it against independently developed rate using publicly available market data<br>for comparable entities; and
--- ---
testing revenue, operating expenditures forecasts and terminal growth rate by comparing them against analyst<br>reports, industry reports and historical performance of the Company.
--- ---
(ii) Assessment of recognition of deferred tax assets
--- ---

As discussed in Notes 3(r) and 25 to the separate financial statements, the deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unrecognized tax credit carryforwards can be utilized. The Company had ~~W~~2,413,563 million of deferred tax assets and ~~W~~660,670 million of unrecognized tax credit carryforwards, as of December 31, 2022.

We identified the assessment of the recognition of deferred tax assets as a key audit matter because it involves high degree of subjective management judgment in estimating future taxable profits over the periods in which the above mentioned differences become deductible and within the periods before the unused tax losses and tax credit carryforwards expired. The subjectivity is primarily driven by the Company’s assumptions in revenue, operating expenditures, which are used to estimate the forecasted taxable income in the future.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address the key audit matter.

We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal control related to the<br>Company’s deferred tax assets recognition process, including control related to the development of assumptions in determining the future taxable income for each year.
We analyzed the Company’s estimates of future taxable income, including analyzing the Company’s<br>forecasted revenue and operating expenditures by comparing them with the financial budgets approved by the board of directors and historical performance.

We also evaluated the Company’s assessment on the history of realizing deferred tax assets in connection<br>with the unused tax losses carryforwards.

Other matter

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

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Separate Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these separate financial statements in accordance with K-IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing these separate financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether these separate financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. ‘Reasonable assurance’ is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these separate financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate financial statements, whether due to fraud<br>or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is<br>higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are<br>appropriate in the circumstances.
--- ---
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and<br>related disclosures made by management.
--- ---
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on<br>the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, then<br>we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the separate financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up<br>to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
--- ---
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate financial statements, including the<br>disclosures, and whether the separate financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
--- ---

Table of Contents

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the separate financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

(b) Foreign Currency Transaction and Translation
--- ---

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of the Company at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate on the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was originally determined. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognized in profit or loss, except for differences arising on an investment in equity instruments designated as at FVOCI and a financial asset and liability designated as a cash flow hedge, which are recognized in other comprehensive income. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Foreign currency differences arising from assets and liabilities in relation to the investing and financing activities including borrowings, bonds and cash and cash equivalents are recognized in finance income (costs) in the separate statement of comprehensive income (loss) and foreign currency differences arising from assets and liabilities in relation to activities other than investing and financing activities are recognized in other non-operating income (expense) in the separate statement of comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency differences are presented in gross amounts in the separate statement of comprehensive income (loss).

(c) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash.

(d) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted-average method, and includes expenditures incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated selling expenses. In the case of manufactured inventories and work-in-process, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on the actual capacity of production facilities. However, the normal capacity is used for the allocation of fixed production overheads if the actual level of production is lower than the normal capacity.

(e) Financial Instruments
(i) Non-derivative financial assets

Recognition and initial measurement

Trade receivables and debt instruments issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets are recognized in statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

(e) Financial Instruments, Continued
--- ---

A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

Classification and subsequent measurement

i) Financial assets

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; FVOCI – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investments; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the subsequent reporting period following the change in the business model.

A financial asset is measured as at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and<br>
its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and<br>interest on the principal amount outstanding.
--- ---

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and<br>selling financial assets; and
the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and<br>interest on the principal amount outstanding.
--- ---

On initial recognition of an equity investments that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in OCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured as at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. At initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

--- ---
ii) Financial assets: business model
--- ---

The Company makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at a portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The information considered includes:

the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice (these<br>include whether management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash<br>outflows or realizing cash flows through the sale of the assets);
how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Company’s management;<br>
--- ---
the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business<br>model) and how those risks are managed; and
--- ---
the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and<br>expectations about future sales activity.
--- ---

Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transaction that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sale for this purpose.

A financial asset that is held for trading or is managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis is measured at FVTPL.

iii) Financial assets: Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest<br>

For the purpose of the assessment, “principal” is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and cost (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as profit margin.

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Company considers.

contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows:
terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable-rate features;
--- ---
prepayment and extension features; and
--- ---
terms that limit the Company’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features)
--- ---

A prepayment feature is consistent with the solely payments of principal and interest criterion if the prepayment amount substantially represents unpaid amounts of principal and interest or the principal amount outstanding, which may include reasonable additional compensation for early termination of the contract.

--- ---

Additionally, for a financial asset acquired at a discount or premium to its contractual par amount, a feature that permits or requires prepayment at an amount that substantially represents the contractual par amount plus accrued but unpaid contractual interest (which may also include reasonable additional compensation for early termination) is treated as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment feature is insignificant at initial recognition.

iv) Financial assets: Subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial assets at FVTPL These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.
--- ---
Financial assets at amortized cost These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in<br>profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
Debt investments at FVOCI These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses<br>are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.

Derecognition

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows of the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred, or it transfers or does not retain substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred asset, and does not retain control of the transferred asset.

If the Company has retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred asset, the Company continues to recognize the transferred asset.

Interest rate benchmark reform

In case the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of a financial asset or financial liability measured at amortized cost changed as a result of interest rate benchmark reform, the Company updates the effective interest rate of the financial asset or financial liability to reflect the change that is required by the reform if both of the following conditions are met:

the change is necessary as a direct consequence of the reform; and
the new basis for determining the contractual cash flows is economically equivalent to the previous basis –<br>i.e. the basis immediately before the change.
--- ---

When changes were made to a financial asset or financial liability in addition to changes to the basis for determining the contractual cash flows required by interest rate benchmark reform, the Company first updates the effective interest rate of the financial asset or financial liability to reflect the change that is required by interest rate benchmark reform. After that, the Company applies the policies on accounting for modifications to the additional changes.

Offset

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the separate statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities

The Company classifies financial liabilities into two categories, financial liabilities at FVTPL and other financial liabilities in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of financial liabilities, and recognizes them in the separate statement of financial position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading or designated as such upon initial recognition at FVTPL. After initial recognition, financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss. Upon initial recognition, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Non-derivative financial liabilities other than financial liabilities classified as at FVTPL are classified as other financial liabilities and measured initially at fair value minus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of financial liabilities. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. As of December 31, 2022, non-derivative financial liabilities comprise borrowings, bonds, trade accounts and notes payable, other accounts payable and others.

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.

(iii) Share Capital

The Company issued common stocks and they are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of common stocks are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of tax effects. Capital contributed in excess of par value upon issuance of common stocks is classified as share premium within equity.

(iv) Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described below.

Hedge Accounting

If necessary, the Company designates derivatives as hedging items to hedge the risk of changes in the fair value of assets, liabilities or firm commitments (a fair value hedge) and foreign currency risk of highly probable forecasted transactions or firm commitments (a cash flow hedge).

On initial designation of the hedge, the Company’s management formally designates and documents the relationship between the hedging instrument(s) and hedged item(s), including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction, together with the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis.

i) Fair value hedges

Change in the fair value of a derivative hedging instrument designated as a fair value hedge and the hedged item is recognized in profit or loss, respectively. The gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instrument at fair value and the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in profit or loss in the same line item of the statement of comprehensive income (loss). The Company discontinues fair value hedge accounting if it does not designate the derivative hedging instrument and the hedged item as the hedge relationship between them anymore; if the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised; or if the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting.

ii) Cash flow hedges

When a derivative designated as a cash flow hedging instrument meets the criteria of cash flow hedge accounting, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in profit or loss. The Company discontinues cash flow hedge accounting if it does not designate the derivative hedging instrument and the hedged item as the hedge relationship between them anymore; if the hedging instruments expires or is sold, terminated or exercised; or if the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss in the periods during which the forecasted transaction occurs. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the balance in other comprehensive income is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

The Company is applying cash flow hedge accounting by designating expected foreign currency denominated sales arising from forecast export transactions as hedging items and the derivative instruments related to forward exchange as hedging instruments. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in equity and the amount accumulated in equity is reclassified to revenue in the same period which forecast sales occur.

Embedded derivative

Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the host contract is not a financial asset and certain criteria are met.

Other derivative financial instruments

Other derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value and changes of their fair value are recognized in profit or loss.

(f) Property, Plant and Equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
--- ---

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes an expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labor, any costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located and borrowing costs on qualifying assets.

The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item and recognized in other non-operating income or other non-operating expenses.

(ii) Subsequent costs

Subsequent expenditure on an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized as part of its cost only if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

(iii) Depreciation

Land is not depreciated and depreciation of other items of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis, reflecting the pattern in which the asset’s future economic benefits are expected to be consumed by the Company. The residual value of property, plant and equipment is zero.

Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

Estimated Useful lives (years)
Buildings and structures 20~40
Machinery 4, 5
Furniture and fixtures 4
Equipment, tools and vehicles 2, 4, 12
Right-of-use<br>assets (*)
(*) The Company depreciates the<br>right-of-use assets from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the<br>right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate and any changes are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.

(g) Borrowing Costs

The Company capitalizes borrowing costs, which includes interests and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs, directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset as part of the cost of that asset. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. To the extent that the Company borrows funds specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the Company determines the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization as the actual borrowing costs incurred on that borrowing during the period less any investment income on the temporary investment of those borrowings. The Company immediately recognizes other borrowing costs as an expense.

(h) Government Grants

In case there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to a government grant, the government grant is recognized as follows:

(i) Grants related to the purchase or construction of assets

A government grant related to the purchase or construction of assets is deducted in calculating the carrying amount of the asset. The grant is recognized in profit or loss over the life of a depreciable asset as a reduced depreciation expense and cash related to grant received is presented in investing activities in the statement of cash flows.

(ii) Grants for compensating the Company’s expenses incurred

A government grant that compensates the Company for expenses incurred is recognized in profit or loss as a deduction from relevant expenses on a systematic basis in the periods in which the expenses are recognized.

(iii) Other government grants

A government grant that becomes receivable for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Company with no compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or no future related costs is recognized as income of the period in which it becomes receivable.

(i) Intangible Assets
--- ---

Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. Subsequently, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.

(i) Goodwill

Goodwill arising from business combinations is recognized as the excess of the acquisition cost of a business over the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any deficit is a bargain purchase that is recognized in profit or loss. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

(ii) Research and development

Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Development activities involve a plan or design of the production of new or substantially improved products and processes. Development expenditure is capitalized as intangible assets only if the Company can demonstrate all of the following:

the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale,<br>
its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it,
--- ---
its ability to use or sell the intangible asset,
--- ---
how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits (among other things, the Company can<br>demonstrate the usefulness of the intangible asset by existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself if it is to be used internally),
--- ---
the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or<br>sell the intangible asset, and
--- ---
its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.<br>
--- ---

Development projects are divided into research activities and development activities. Expenditures on research activities are recognized in profit or loss and qualifying development expenditures on development activities are capitalized.

The expenditure capitalized includes the cost of materials, direct labor and overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use, and borrowing costs on qualifying assets.

(iii) Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets include intellectual property rights, software, customer relationships, technology, memberships and others. The Company currently has a number of patent license agreements related to product production. When the amount of payments for the entire contract period can be reliably determined, the total undiscounted amount is recognized as intangible assets as intellectual property rights and other account payables, respectively, and the intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the patent license period.

Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific intangible asset to which they relate. All other expenditures, including expenditures on internally generated goodwill and brands, are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

(v) Amortization

Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use. The residual value of intangible assets is zero. However, as there are no foreseeable limits to the periods over which condominium and golf club memberships are expected to be available for use, these intangible assets are regarded as having indefinite useful lives and not amortized.

(*2) Capitalized development costs are amortized over the useful lives considering the life cycle of the developed<br>products. Amortization of capitalized development costs are recognized in research and development expenses in the separate statement of comprehensive income (loss).
--- ---

Amortization periods and the amortization methods for intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed at each financial year-end. The useful lives of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are reviewed at each financial year-end to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support indefinite useful life assessments for those assets. If appropriate, the changes are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.

(j) Investment Property

Property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both is classified as investment property. Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs incurred at the time of acquisition, and subsequently, measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

Subsequent expenditure on an item of investment property is recognized as part of its cost only if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized. All other subsequent expenditures are expensed in the period in which it is incurred.

(k) Impairment
(i) Financial assets

Financial instruments and contract assets

The Company recognizes loss allowance for financial assets measured at amortized cost and debt investments at FVOCI at the ‘expected credit loss’ (ECL).

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for the life-time expected credit losses except for following, which are measured at 12-month ECLs:

debt instruments that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and
other debt instruments and bank deposits for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the<br>expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.
--- ---

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both qualitative and quantitative information and analysis, based on the Company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment including forward-looking information.

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

12-month ECLs are the portion of the ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.

Estimation ofexpected credit losses

Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured using the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows and the expected contractual cash flows. The expected credit losses are discounted using effective interest rate of the financial assets.

(k) Impairment, Continued

Credit-impaired financial assets

At each reporting period-end, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt instruments at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial<br>difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider;
--- ---
it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or<br>
--- ---
the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.
--- ---

Presentation of loss allowance for ECL in the statement of financial position

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt instruments at FVOCI, the loss allowance is charged to profit or loss and is recognized in OCI instead of reducing the carrying amount of financial assets in the separate statement of financial position.

Write-off

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations for recovering the financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. The Company assess whether there are reasonable expectations of recovering the contractual cash flows from customers and individually assess the timing and amount of write-off. The Company expects no significant recovery from the amount written-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

(k) Impairment, Continued
--- ---
(ii) Non-financial assets
--- ---

The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets, other than assets arising from employee benefits, inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill, and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, the recoverable amount is estimated each year.

Recoverable amount is estimated for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Company determines the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit (“CGU”) is the smallest group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. In identifying whether cash inflows from an asset or group of assets are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets, the Company considers various factors including how management monitors the entity’s operations or how management makes decisions about continuing or disposing of the entity’s assets and operations. In the Company’s consolidated financial statements, each CGU is comprised of a group of assets of the Company and its other subsidiaries, because the non-current assets of the Company generate independent cash inflows only in combination with certain assets of the subsidiary. In the separate financial statements, in general, investment in each subsidiary is considered to be individual CGUs. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is determined as the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. Fair value less costs to sell is based on the best information available to reflect the amount that the Company could obtain from the disposal of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, after deducting the costs of disposal.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of a CGU are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the unit on a pro rata basis.

In respect of assets other than goodwill, impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of accumulated depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized from the acquisition cost. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.

(l) Leases
--- ---

A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

(i) As a lessee

At commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone price. For certain leases, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component by applying the practical expedient not to separate non-lease components.

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at of before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company will exercise a purchase option. In that case, the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

The Company determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased.

(l) Lease, Continued
--- ---

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;<br>
variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the<br>commencement date;
--- ---
amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
--- ---
the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in<br>an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.
--- ---

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment.

When the lease liability is remeasured the Company recognizes the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognizes any remaining amount of the remeasurement in profit or loss.

The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in ‘property, plant and equipment’ and lease liabilities in ‘financial liabilities’ in the separate statement of financial position.

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-term leases. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(ii) As a lessor

When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.

To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

(l) Lease, Continued
--- ---

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, then the Company applies K-IFRS No. 1115 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

At the commencement date, the Company recognizes assets held under a finance lease in its statement of financial position and present them as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease and recognize finance income over the lease term, based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the lessor’s net investment in the lease.

The Company recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of ‘other revenue’.

(m) Provisions

A provision is recognized, as a result of a past event, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.

The risks and uncertainties that inevitably surround events and circumstances are taken into account in reaching the best estimate of a provision. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined at the present value of the expected future cash flows. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.

Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.

The Company recognizes a liability for warranty obligations based on the estimated costs expected to be incurred under its basic limited warranty. This warranty covers defective products and is normally applicable for a warranty period from the date of purchase. These liabilities are accrued when product revenues are recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims on those repairs and cost per claim to satisfy the Company’s warranty obligation. Warranty costs primarily include raw materials and labor costs. As these factors are impacted by actual experience and future expectations, management periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Accrued warranty obligations are included in the current and non-current provisions.

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources, are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated.

(n) Employee Benefits
(i) Short-term employee benefits
--- ---

Short-term employee benefits that are due to be settled within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in profit or loss on an undiscounted basis. The expected cost of profit-sharing and bonus plans and others are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to make payments as a result of past events and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.

(n) Employee Benefits, Continued
--- ---
(ii) Other long-term employee benefits
--- ---

The Company’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than pension plans is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods.

(iii) Defined contribution plan

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the period during which services are rendered by employees.

(iv) Defined benefit plan

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than defined contribution plans. The Company’s net obligation in respect of its defined benefit plan is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The fair value of any plan assets is deducted.

The calculation is performed annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on high quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Company’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid. The Company recognizes all actuarial gains and losses arising from defined benefit plans in retained earnings immediately.

The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Consequently, the net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) now comprises: interest cost on the defined benefit obligation, interest income on plan assets, and interest on the effect on the asset ceiling.

When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

(v) Termination benefits
--- ---

The Company recognizes expense for termination benefits at the earlier of the date when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the entity recognizes costs for a restructuring involving the payment of termination benefits. If the termination benefits are not expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period, the Company measures the termination benefit with present value of future cash payments.

(o) Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of estimated returns, trade discounts, volume rebates and other cash incentives paid to customers.

The Company recognizes revenue according to the five-stage revenue recognition model (

LOGO Identifying the contract

LOGO Identifying performance obligations

LOGO Determining transaction price

LOGO Allocating the transaction price to performance obligations

LOGO Recognizing revenue for performance obligations).

The Company generates revenue primarily from sale of display panels. Product revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control over the Company’s products, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery depending on the terms of the contracts with the customer.

The Company includes return option in the sales contract of display panels with its customers and the consideration receivable from the customer is subject to change due to returns. The Company estimates an amount of variable consideration by using the expected value method which the Company expects to better predict the amount of consideration. The Company includes in the transaction price an amount of variable consideration estimated only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur during the return period when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company recognizes a refund liability and an asset for its right to recover products from customers if the Company receives consideration from a customer and expects to refund some or all of that consideration to the customer. Sales taxes or value-added taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and are excluded from revenues in the separate statement of comprehensive income (loss).

(p) Operating Segments

In accordance with K-IFRS No. 1108, Operating Segments, entity wide disclosures of geographic and product revenue information are provided in the consolidated financial statements.

(q) Finance Income and Finance Costs

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested (including debt instruments measured at FVOCI), dividend income, gains on disposal of debt instruments measured at FVOCI and changes in fair value of financial instruments at FVTPL. Interest income is recognized as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date that the Company’s right to receive payment is established.

(q) Finance Income and Finance Costs, Continued
--- ---

Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions, gain and losses from financial instruments measured at FVTPL and impairment losses recognized on financial assets. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset.

(r) Income Tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

(i) Current tax

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable profit or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. The taxable profit is different from the accounting profit for the period since the taxable profit is calculated excluding the temporary differences, which will be taxable or deductible in determining taxable profit (tax loss) of future periods, and non-taxable or non-deductible items from the accounting profit.

(ii) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized, using the asset and liability method, in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

The Company recognizes a deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and interests in joint ventures, except to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. A deferred tax asset is recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that the differences relating to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

The Company offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if, and only if, the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority.

(s) Earnings (Loss) Per Share
--- ---

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) data for its common stocks. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common stocks outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of common stocks outstanding, adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential common stocks such as convertible bonds and others.

(t) Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Company. The consideration transferred in the acquisition and the identifiable net assets acquired from business combinations are measured at fair value. If the consideration transferred exceeds the fair value of identifiable net asset, the Company recognizes goodwill; if not, then the Company recognizes gain on a bargain purchase. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity instruments in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1032 and K-IFRS No. 1109. The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognized in profit or loss.

(u) Standards issued but not yet effective

A number of amended standards are effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2022 and earlier application is permitted; however, the Company has not early adopted the amended standards in preparing these separate financial statements.

(i) Classification of current/non-current liabilities(K-IFRS No. 1001,<br>‘Presentation of Financial Statements’)

The amendments clarify that in order for the borrower to have the right to defer payment of liabilities, it must fulfil the conditions of complying with all contractual compliance at the end of the reporting period. Additionally, the possibility of the borrower exercising the right to defer settlement of liabilities for more than 12 months after the reporting period does not affect the liquidity classification of liabilities. In addition, when the settlement of liabilities includes the transfer of equity instruments, where compound financial instrument has a liability and equity portion separately recognised, it does not affect the classification for liquidity purposes. The IASB has published an amendment that postpones the effective date of amendments to no earlier than January 1, 2024, and the Korean Accounting Standards Board plans to revise the K-IFRS accordingly. The Controlling Company is monitoring the revision process.

(d) Impairment assessment on CGU
--- ---
(i) Changes in Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”)
--- ---

During 2022, the Company distinguished Display (Large OLED) CGU as a separate CGU from the existing Display CGU due to withdrawal of the domestic LCD TV business and the reorganization of the related businesses. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s cash-generating units consist of Display CGU, Display (Large OLED) CGU and Display (AD PO) CGU. For investment in subsidiaries, investment as a whole including the goodwill was assessed for indication of impairment and no impairment loss was recognized.

The carrying amount of goodwill allocated to Display CGU is as follows:

(In millions of won)
December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021
Display CGU ~~W~~ 14,593 14,593
(ii) Impairment assessment on CGU
--- ---

As of December 31, 2022, the Company performed impairment tests for Display CGU and Display (Large OLED) CGU. No impairment test was performed for Display (AD PO) CGU, impairment loss for which was initially recognized in 2019, as there was no indicator of impairment or reversal identified during 2022.

The recoverable amount of each CGU is determined based on its value in use. Value in use is calculated using the estimated cash flow based on 5-year business plan approved by management. The estimated revenue and operating expenditures of the Company’s products used in the forecast was determined considering external sources and the Company’s past experience. Management estimated the future cash flows based on its past performance and forecasts on market growth. The key assumptions used in the estimation of value in use for Display CGU and Display (Large OLED) CGU include revenue and operating expenditures for the forecast period, growth rates for subsequent years (“terminal growth rate”), and discount rate. Terminal growth rate and the discount rate used in the estimation of value in use are as follows.

2022 Pre-tax<br>discount rate(*) Post-tax<br>discount rate(*) Terminal growthrate
Display CGU 10.8 % 9.0 % 1.0 %
Display (Large OLED) CGU 10.5 % 9.0 % 1.0 %
2021
Display CGU 10.5 % 8.4 % 1.0 %
(*) The discount rate was calculated using the weighted average cost of equity capital and debt and the beta of<br>equity capital was calculated as the average of five global listed companies in the same industry and the Company. Cost of debt was calculated using the yield rate of non-guaranteed corporate bond considering<br>the Company’s credit rating and debt ratio was determined using the average of the debt ratios of the five global listed companies in the same industry and the Company. The Group calculates the value in use of each CGU using post-tax cash flows and a post-tax discount rate, and the result is not significantly different from the value in use calculated using pre-tax cash flows and pre-tax discount rate.

27. Financial Risk Management

The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risks. The Company identifies and analyzes such risks, and controls are implemented under a risk management system to monitor and manage these risks at below an acceptable level.

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

(i) Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company, Korean won (KRW). The currencies in which these transactions primarily are denominated are USD, JPY, etc.

Interest on borrowings is accrued in the currency of the borrowing. Generally, borrowings are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by the underlying operations of the Company, primarily KRW and USD.

The Company adopts policies to ensure that its net exposure is kept to a manageable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances. In respect of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Company manages currency risk through continuously managing the position of foreign currencies, measuring the currency risk and, if necessary, using derivatives such as currency forwards, currency swap and others.

All values are in Japanese Yen.

ii) Sensitivity analysis

A weaker won, as indicated below, against the following currencies which comprise the Company’s assets or liabilities denominated in a foreign currency as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Company considers to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, would remain constant. The changes in equity and profit or loss would have been as follows:

(In millions of won) December 31, 2021
Profit<br>or loss Equity Profit<br>or loss
(5 percent weakening) (207,623 ) (207,623 ) ~~W~~ (60,445 ) (60,445 )

(5 percent weakening) (156 ) (156 ) (149 ) (149 )

All values are in Japanese Yen.

A stronger won against the above currencies as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 would have had the equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

iii) Derivatives for cash flow hedge

In relation to forecast export transactions, the Company used derivative instruments to hedge fluctuations in future cash flows due to foreign currency exchange rate changes. There is no derivative with cash flow hedging accounting as December 31, 2022. The amount which have been reclassified from reserve to profit (revenue) for the year ended December 31, 2022 is ~~W~~212,956 million as a result of realization of forecast export transactions.

(ii) Interest rate risk
--- ---

Interest rate risk arises principally from the Company’s variable interest-bearing bonds and borrowings. The Company establishes and applies its policy to reduce uncertainty arising from fluctuations in interest rates and to minimize finance cost and manages interest rate risk by monitoring of trends of fluctuations in interest rate and establishing plan for countermeasures. Meanwhile, the Company entered into cross currency interest rate swap contracts amounting to USD 1,730 million (~~W~~2,192,429 million) and interest rate swap contracts amounting to ~~W~~470,000 million in notional amount to hedge interest rate risk with respect to variable interest bearing borrowings.

i) Profile

The interest rate profile of the Company’s interest-bearing financial instruments as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

(In millions of won)

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, a change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below for the respective following 12 month periods. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant.

iii) Managing interest rate benchmark reform and associated risks
--- ---

A fundamental reform of major interest rate benchmarks is being undertaken globally, including the replacement of some interbank offered rates (IBORs) with alternative risk-free rates (referred to as ‘IBOR reform’). The publication of LIBOR, except overnight, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month USD LIBORs, was terminated as of December 31, 2021 and the five LIBORs, as mentioned above, will be discontinued by June 30, 2023.

The Company does not have financial instruments affected by already discontinued LIBORs. The Company plans to change benchmark interest rate applied to some of its financial instruments from LIBORs to Secured Overnight Financing Rates (SOFRs), an alternative indicator interest rate. For these LIBOR-related financial instruments, the LIBORs are continued to be published. Meanwhile, in the case of the CD rate, an alternative reference rate was selected as the Korea Overnight Financing Repo Rate (KOFR) as part of the reform of the interest rate benchmark. However, unlike LIBOR, the termination of the publication of the CD rate is not scheduled, and the Company does not have plan to change to KOFR.

The Company is exposed to the legal risk of changing the contract of financial instruments due to the reform of the interest rate indicator, as well as the process and operational risks to deal with such changes. In addition, the Company is also exposed to the risk of monitoring the market trend on the alternative index interest rate and establishing a risk management strategy accordingly to manage the risk of the new alternative index interest rate. The Company manages and monitors the transition to alternative interest rate benchmark by evaluating the extent to which a contract references IBOR cash flows, whether such contracts will need to be amended as a result of IBOR reform and how to manage communication about IBOR reform with counterparties.

The Company monitors the transition to an alternative interest rate benchmark by reviewing the total amounts of contracts that have yet to transition to an alternative benchmark rate and the amounts of such contracts that include an appropriate fallback clause. The Company considers that a contract is not yet transitioned to an alternative benchmark rate when interest rate under the contract is indexed to a benchmark rate that is still subject to IBOR reform, even if it includes a fallback clause that deals with the cessation of the existing IBOR(“unreformed contracts”). As of December 31, 2022, the total amounts of unreformed contracts and those with appropriate fallback language are as follows, and the financial instruments that will be settled before June 30, 2023 are excluded:

(In millions of won)
Total amount of unreformed<br>contracts(*)
Non-derivative financial liabilities
Borrowings ~~W~~ 1,685,509
Derivative assets
Cross currency interest rate swap contracts ~~W~~ 168,730
(*) The company completed the insertion of a fallback clause for all unreformed contracts.

(b) Credit risk
--- ---

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers.

The Company’s exposure to credit risk of trade and other receivables is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management believes that the default risk of the country in which each customer operates, do not have a significant influence on credit risk since the majority of the customers are global electronic appliance manufacturers operating in global markets.

The Company establishes credit limits for each customer and each new customer is analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively before determining whether to utilize third party guarantees, insurance or factoring as appropriate.

In relation to the impairment of financial assets subsequent to initial recognition, the Company recognizes the changes in expected credit loss (“ECL”) in profit or loss at each reporting date.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

(In millions of won)

In addition to the financial assets above, as of December 31, 2022, the Company provides payment guarantees in connection with the principal amount of credit facilities amounting to USD 1,407 million (~~W~~1,782,669million) (see note 15).

Trade accounts and notes receivable are insured in order for the Company to manage credit risk if they do not meet the Company’s internal credit ratings. Uninsured trade accounts and notes receivable are managed by continuous monitoring of internal credit rating standards established by the Company and seeking insurance coverage, if necessary.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or other financial assets. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

The Company has historically been able to satisfy its cash requirements from cash flows from operations and debt and equity financing. To the extent that the Company does not generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its capital requirements, the Company may rely on other financing activities, such as external long-term borrowings and offerings of debt instruments, equity-linked and other debt instruments. In addition, the Company maintains a line of credit with various banks.

(e) Determination of fair value
--- ---
(i) Measurement of fair value
--- ---

A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

i) Current assets and liabilities

The carrying amounts approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

ii) Trade receivables and other receivables

The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. This fair value is determined for disclosure purposes. The carrying amounts of current receivables approximate their fair value.

iii) Investments in equity and debt instruments

The fair value of marketable financial assets at FVTPL and FVOCI is determined by reference to their quoted closing bid price at the reporting date. The fair value of non-marketable instruments is determined using the results of fair value assessment performed by external valuation institutions and others.

iv) Non-derivative financial liabilities

Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, except for the liabilities at FVTPL, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.

v) Derivatives

The inputs used to measure the fair value of currency forward and cross currency interest rate swap are calculated based on the exchange rates and interest rates observable in the market at the reporting date.
