Independent Auditors’ Review Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

POSCO:

Reviewed financial statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of POSCO and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as of March 31, 2020, the condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s responsibility

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standard (“K-IFRS”) No. 1034 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The Company’s management is also responsible for the internal controls determined necessary to prepare condensed consolidated interim financial statements free of material misstatements due to error or fraud.

Auditors’ review responsibility

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

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

Conclusion

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

Other matters

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

The consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not accompanying this report, were audited by us in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and our report thereon, dated March 12, 2020, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019, presented for comparative purposes, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited consolidated financial statements from which it has been derived.

2. Statement of Compliance

Statement of compliance

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”), as prescribed in the Act on External Audit of Companies, Etc. in the Republic of Korea.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1034 “Interim Financial Reporting” as part of the period covered by the Company’s K-IFRS annual financial statements. Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the last annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for full annual financial statements.

Use of estimates and judgments

(a)	Judgments, assumptions and estimation uncertainties

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with K-IFRS 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 prospectively.

The significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.

(b)	Measurement of fair value

The Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the financial officer.

The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of K-IFRS including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuation techniques should be classified.

Significant valuation issues are reported to the Company’s Audit Committee.

POSCO and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, Continued

As of March 31, 2020

(Unaudited)

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.


• Level 1	—	unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2	—	inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.

• Level 3	—	inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorized in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Except as described in K-IFRS No. 1034 “Interim Financial Reporting” and below, the accounting policies applied by the Company in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company also expects to apply the accounting policies set out below for their annual reporting period ending December 31, 2020.

(a)	K-IFRS No. 1001 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and K-IFRS No. 1008 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”

The definition of materiality has been clarified, and K-IFRS No. 1001 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and K-IFRS No. 1008 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” have been amended according to the clarified definition. In determining the materiality, information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity. The Company does not expect the effect of the amendments to the consolidated financial statements to be significant.

(b)	K-IFRS No. 1103 “Business Combinations”

The amendment clarifies the definition of business when it includes input and process together significantly contribute to ability to create output and requires a simplified assessment that result in an asset acquisition if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. The Company does not expect the effect of the amendment to the consolidated financial statements to be significant.

(c)	K-IFRS No. 1109 “Financial Instruments”, K-IFRS No. 1039 “Financial Instruments : Recognition and Measurement” , K-IFRS No. 1107 “Financial Instruments : Disclosures”

The amendments require the application of exceptions to the analysis of future prospects in relation to the application of hedge accounting while uncertainty exists due to the interest rate benchmark reform. The exception assumes that when assessing whether the expected cash flows based on existing interest rate indicators are highly probable, whether there is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, or whether the hedge relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument is highly probable, the interest rate benchmark that the hedged item and the hedging instrument comply with does not change as a result of the interest rate benchmark reform. The Company does not expect the effect of the amendments to the consolidated financial statements to be significant.

(d)

Due to the factors causing the variation of costs for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, the estimated total contract costs have changed. Details of changes in estimated total contract costs and the impact on profit before income taxes for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 and future periods are as follows:


			Changes in profit (loss) of contract
	Changes in estimated
(in millions of Won)	total contract costs		Net income (loss)		Future income (loss)		Total
Construction segment	W	191,598		24,259		16,620		40,879

	W	196,102		25,490		18,392		43,882

The effect on the current and future profit is estimated based on the circumstances that have occurred from the commencement date of the contract to March 31, 2020. The estimation is evaluated for the total contract costs and expected total contract revenue as of the end of the period. Also, it may change during future periods.

(e)	Uncertainty of estimates

Total contract revenues

Total contract revenues are measured based on contractual amount initially agreed. However, the contract revenues can increase due to additional contract work, claims and incentive payments, or decrease due to penalty when the completion of contract is delayed due to the Company’s fault. Therefore, this measurement of contract revenues is affected by the uncertainty of the occurrence of future events.

Total contract costs

Contract revenues are recognized based on the percentage of completion, which is measured on the basis of the gross cost amount incurred to date. Total contract costs are estimated based on estimates of future material costs, labor costs, outsourcing cost and others. There is uncertainty in estimates on future contract costs due to various internal and external factors such as fluctuation of market, the risk of business partner and the experience of project performance and others. The significant assumptions including uncertainty of the estimate of total contract costs are as follows:


		Method of significant assumption
Material cost		Assumption based on recent purchasing price and quoted market price
Labor cost		Assumption based on standard monthly and daily labor cost
Outsourcing cost		Assumption based on the past experience rate of similar project and market price

Management reviews the assumptions used in estimated contract costs at each reporting period end and adjusts them, if necessary.

With the outbreak of global COVID-19, governments around the globe have implemented measures such as mandatory factory shutdown, self-quarantine, closing borders, and travel bans. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations is not yet known and will depend on future developments. The duration and significance of COVID-19 is highly uncertain and unpredictable, and the protective measures of the governments around the globe or the Company may lead to substantial business interruption and decrease in business scale. The financial impact of this cannot be reasonably estimated, but management expect it to be partially affected to the most areas where the Company operates. The extent and duration of COVID-19’s impact on the Company’s business have not yet to be determined.
