(“Service Ace”) and Service Top Co., Ltd., the Company operates customer service centers and provides telemarketing services. Additionally, SK O&S Co., Ltd. (“SK O&S”), the Company’s subsidiary responsible for the operation of the Company’s networks, provides customers with quality network services and provides the Company with technological know-how in network operations.

The Company plans to maintain stable growth in the sales of its wireless business based on a solid increase in the number of 5G subscribers, while continuously enhancing profitability by pursuing efficient investments in, and operation of, its wireless networks and leveraging the stabilization of market competition.

In addition, the Company is continually updating key functions and technologies of “A. (Adot),” the world’s first commercialized Korean language GPT-3-based service, in preparation of A.’s official service launch, while further strengthening the social and community functions of “ifland” with a goal to transform it into a globally leading metaverse service.

B. Industry Characteristics

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

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

C. Growth Potential

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

E. Competitive Strengths
--- ---

The Company successfully completed the Spin-off of SK Square Co., Ltd. from SK Telecom (the “Spin-off”) in 2021 to maximize shareholder value and launched “SKT 2.0.” Concurrently, the Company reorganized its business to center around five major business areas and is seeking maximization of overall corporate value by establishing and executing strategies optimized for each business segment and pursuing growth in each segment.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded Won 4.37 trillion in operating revenue and Won 0.49 trillion in operating profit on a consolidated basis. The Company is continuing to enhance its profitability by leveraging its competitiveness in fixed-line and wireless telecommunications services and rapid progress in new businesses such as B2B.

SK Telink Co., Ltd. (“SK Telink”), a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, operates its MVNO service, “SK 7Mobile,” which is offered at reasonable rates and provides excellent quality. SK Telink is increasing its efforts to develop low-cost distribution channels and create niche markets through targeted marketing towards customers including foreign workers, middle-aged adults and students.

[Fixed-line Business]

A. Overview

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, SK Broadband recorded Won 1.06 trillion in revenue on a consolidated basis, which represented a 3.5% increase from Won 1.03 trillion for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Such increase was primarily attributable to the growth of SK Broadband’s media business resulting from an increase in the number of subscribers and the growth of its B2B business resulting from, among other things, the operation of new data centers.

Table of Contents

SK Broadband’s business is divided into the media business segment, which provides IPTV and cable TV services, and the fixed-line business segment, which provides high-speed Internet, telecommunications, leased lines and data center services.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, SK Broadband’s media business segment recorded Won 0.47 trillion in revenue, which represented a 0.4% increase compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the fixed-line business segment recorded Won 0.59 trillion in revenue, which represented an 6.1% increase compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

B. Industry Characteristics

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

The broadcasting business involves the planning, programming or production of broadcasting programs and transmission to viewers through telecommunications facilities. The broadcasting market can be categorized into terrestrial broadcasting, fixed-line TV broadcasting, satellite broadcasting and programming-providing businesses, in each case pursuant to the Broadcasting Act, as well as Internet multimedia broadcasting business pursuant to the Internet Multimedia Broadcast Services Act. SK Broadband engages in the fixed-line TV broadcasting business, which is defined as the business of managing and operating fixed-line TV broadcasting stations (including their facilities and employees for the purpose of providing multi-channel broadcasting) and providing broadcasts through transmission and line facilities. The Internet multimedia broadcasting refers to the broadcasting of programs through a combination of various contents including data, video, voice, sound and/or e-commerce, including real-time broadcasting, while guaranteeing a consistent service quality through a bidirectional Internet protocol using a broadband integrated information network.

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

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

In the high-speed Internet services market, the demand for faster and more reliable premium Giga Internet services is increasing due to the growth in demand for home mobile networks using Wi-Fi and an increased consumption of large media content, such as high-definition media streaming.

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

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

D. Cyclical Nature and Seasonality
--- ---

High-speed Internet and fixed-line telephone services operate in mature markets that are comparatively less sensitive to cyclical economic changes as the services provided by different operators have become less differentiated. TV services have become necessities that provide broadcasting, and the market, which is subject to a subscriber-based business model, has little sensitivity to cyclical economic changes. Overall, the telecommunications services market is not expected to be particularly affected by economic downturns due to the low income elasticity of demand for telecommunications services.

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

[Other Businesses]

A. Overview

The commercial retail data broadcasting channel business offers an interactive service that integrates television home shopping and data home shopping services. Such integrated service allows television viewers to organize various product categories on the television screen and select and purchase desired products using a television remote control or mobile device, unlike traditional home shopping services that only allowed for real-time purchase through the relevant broadcast.

Table of Contents

In order to secure core competencies at an early stage and achieve differentiation, the Company has been actively searching for high-efficiency television channels while increasing the competitiveness of its content production capacity by building the Company’s own media center and adopting a media wall with the objective of transforming it into an eco-friendly digital studio.

In addition to enhancing the convenience of shopping experience by offering various media content on its mobile live platform, the Company was the first in the industry to launch a cloud-based television application service, “Stoa ON,” which provides personalized digital television shopping services. Furthermore, the Company has been establishing itself as a leading shopping channel service provider by securing a diverse product portfolio and engaging in product development in areas ranging from fashion to health food.

C. Business-related Pollutants and Environmental Protection

[SK Telecom]

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

[SK Broadband]

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

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

4. Other Matters Related to Financial Information

A. Restatement of the Financial Statements

Pursuant to the resolutions of the Board of Directors and the General Meeting of Shareholders on June 10, 2021 and October 12, 2021, respectively, the Company conducted the Spin-off effective as of November 1, 2021. As a result of the Spin-off, the Company discontinued certain parts of the security, commerce and other businesses operated by its major subsidiaries, which were transferred to the newly established company. Accordingly, certain of the Company’s material subsidiaries, including One Store Co., Ltd., SK Planet Co., Ltd., Eleven Street Co., Ltd., Dreamus Company, SK shieldus Co., Ltd., Incross, T Map Mobility and SK M&Service Co., Ltd., were excluded from the scope of the Company’s consolidation. The Company classified and separately showed profit (loss) from such discontinued businesses in its consolidated statement of profit and loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 in the Company’s audit report and annual business report as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 pursuant to the application of K-IFRS 1105. The consolidated statement of profit and loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 was restated accordingly for comparative purposes. Furthermore, the Spin-off caused a change in the Company’s business segments, which led to a restatement of prior years’ segment information, and the business of SK Stoa, which had previously been classified as part of the Company’s commerce segment, was reclassified as part of the Company’s other business segment.

(3) Policies for Loss Allowance
--- ---

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

Report on review of interim consolidated financial statements

(English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean)

The Shareholders and Board of Directors

SK TelecomCo., Ltd.

We have reviewed the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of SK Telecom Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the interim consolidated statement of financial position as of March 31, 2023, and the related interim consolidated statements of profit or loss, interim consolidated statements of comprehensive income, interim consolidated statements of changes in equity and interim consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, and a summary of material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.

Management’s responsibility for the interim consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the Republic of Korea (“KIFRS”) 1034 Interim Financial Reporting, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of interim consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim consolidated financial statements based on our review.

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

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are not prepared fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with KIFRS 1034 Interim Financial Reporting.

Table of Contents

Other matters

We have audited the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2022, and the related consolidated statement of profit or loss, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) in accordance with KSA, and our report dated March 10, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. The accompanying consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2022 presented for comparative purposes is not different, in all material respects, from the above audited consolidated statement of financial position.

May 12, 2023

This report is effective as of May 12, 2023, the independent auditor’s review report date. Accordingly, certain material subsequent events or<br>circumstances may have occurred during the period from the independent auditor’s review report date to the time this review report is used. Such events and circumstances could significantly affect the accompanying interim consolidated financial<br>statements and may result in modification to this review report.

2. Basis of Preparation
(1) Statement of compliance
--- ---

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard as adopted by the Republic of Korea (“KIFRS”) 1034 Interim Financial Reporting as part of the period covered by the Group’s KIFRS annual financial statements. These interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for full 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 Group since December 31, 2022. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the Korean language financial statements. In the event of any differences in interpreting the financial statements or the independent auditor’s review report thereon, the Korean version, which is used for regulatory reporting purposes, shall prevail.

(2) Use of estimates and judgments
1) Critical judgments, assumptions and estimation uncertainties
--- ---

The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with KIFRS 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.

In preparing these interim consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

2. Basis of Preparation, Continued
(2) Use of estimates and judgments, Continued
--- ---
2) Fair value measurement
--- ---

A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Group has established policies and processes with respect to the measurement of fair values, including Level 3 fair values, and the measurement of fair values is reviewed and is directly reported to the finance executives.

The Group 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 Group assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of KIFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group 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: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;<br>
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or<br>liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
--- ---
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable<br>inputs).
--- ---

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into 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 Group recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

Information about assumptions used for fair value measurements are included in Note 30.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies applied by the Group in these interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, except for the adoption of new and revised KIFRS applied from January 1, 2023, which are summarized below. The Group has not early applied the new and revised KIFRS and interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective.

The following new and amended KIFRS and interpretations are effective from January 1, 2023, initially, but these amended standards are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s interim consolidated financial statements.

Disclosure of Accounting Polices (Amendments to KIFRS 1001)

~~W~~ 330,891 9,300 (1,961 ) 3,208 395 341,833
(*) The Group writes off trade and other receivables that are determined to be uncollectable due to reasons such as<br>termination of operations or bankruptcy.
--- ---
(3) The Group applies the practical expedient that allows the Group to estimate the loss allowance for accounts<br>receivable – trade at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses. The expected credit losses include the forward-looking information. To make the assessment, the Group uses its historical credit loss experience over the past three<br>years and classifies the accounts receivable – trade by their credit risk characteristics and days overdue.
--- ---

As the Group is a wireless and fixed-line telecommunications service provider, the Group’s financial assets measured at amortized cost primarily consist of receivables from numerous individual customers, and, therefore, no significant credit concentration risk arises.

Receivables related to other revenue mainly consist of receivables from corporate customers. The Group transacts only with corporate customers with credit ratings that are considered to be low at credit risk. In addition, the Group is not exposed to significant credit concentration risk as the Group regularly assesses their credit risk by monitoring their credit ratings. While the contract assets are under the impairment requirements, no significant credit risk has been identified.

30. Financial Risk Management
(1) Financial risk management
--- ---

The Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Market risk is the risk related to the changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The Group implements a risk management system to monitor and manage these specific risks.

The Group’s financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments, long-term investment securities, accounts receivable – trade and other, etc. Financial liabilities consist of accounts payable – trade and other, borrowings, debentures, lease liabilities and others.

1) Market risk
(i) Currency risk
--- ---

The Group incurs exchange position due to revenues and expenses from its global operations. Major foreign currencies where currency risk exists are USD, EUR and others. The Group determines its currency risk management policy after considering the nature of business and the presence of methods that mitigate the currency risk on each Group entity basis. The Group regularly evaluates, manages and reports foreign exchange exposure risk through the management systems to receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies. Currency risk occurs on forecasted transactions and recognized assets and liabilities which are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of each group entity.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as of March 31, 2023 are as follows:

(In millions of won, thousands of foreign currencies) Liabilities
Won<br>equivalent Foreign<br>currencies Wonequivalent
65,437 ~~W~~ 85,316 1,519,502 ~~W~~ 1,981,127

Others 336 418
~~W~~ 93,805 ~~W~~ 1,981,681

All values are in US Dollars.

In addition, the Group has entered into cross currency swaps to hedge against currency risk related to foreign debentures and borrowings.

As of March 31, 2023, a hypothetical change in exchange rates by 10% would have increased (decreased) the Group’s profit before income tax as follows:

(In millions of won) If decreased by 10%
5,520 (5,520 )
801 (801 )
Others (8 ) 8

--- ---
1) Market risk, Continued

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

The interest rate risk of the Group arises from borrowings, debentures and long-term payables – other. Since the Group’s interest bearing assets are mostly fixed-interest bearing assets, the Group’s revenue and operating cash flows from the interest-bearing assets are not influenced by the changes in market interest rates.

The Group performs various analysis to reduce interest rate risk and to optimize its financing. To minimize risks arising from changes in interest rates, the Group takes various measures such as refinancing, renewal, alternative financing and hedging.

As of March 31, 2023, floating-rate borrowings and debentures amount to ~~W~~49,375 million and ~~W~~391,140 million, respectively, and the Group has entered into interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate risk related to the floating-rate borrowings amounting to ~~W~~9,375 million and debentures. Therefore, profit before income taxes for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 would not have been affected by the changes in interest rates of floating-rate debentures.

If the interest rate increases (decreases) 1%p with all other variables held constant, profit before income taxes for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, would change by ~~W~~100 million in relation to the floating-rate borrowings which have not entered into interest rate swaps.

As of March 31, 2023, the floating-rate long-term payables – other are ~~W~~1,290,225 million. If the interest rate increases (decreases) 1%p with all other variables held constant, profit before income taxes for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, would change by ~~W~~3,226 million in relation to the floating-rate long-term payables – other that are exposed to interest rate risk.

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 (“IBOR”)s with alternative nearly risk-free rates (referred to as ‘IBOR reform’). Especially, in the case of LIBOR, all of the calculations were suspended as of December 31, 2021, except for the overnight, one month, three months, six months, and 12 months of USD LIBOR, and the aforementioned five USD LIBORs will also be suspended as of June 30, 2023. The alternative interest rate benchmark of USD LIBOR is the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Meanwhile, in case of Korean CD rate, the alternative interest rate benchmark has selected as Korea Overnight Financing Repo Rate (“KOFR”), and as part of interest rate benchmark reform, the interest rate has been disclosed through Korea Securities Depository since November 26, 2021. KOFR is calculated using the overnight RP rate as collateral for government bonds and monetary stabilization bonds. However, unlike LIBOR, calculation of CD rate will not be suspended, thereby making it unclear when and how the transition to KOFR will take place.

The Group plans to include fallback clauses into financial instruments relating to LIBOR to which calculation has not been suspended yet, or change their LIBOR directly to alternative interest rates before the calculation is suspended. Meanwhile, The Group is closely monitoring market trends for CD rate-related financial instruments.

The Group’s financial instruments exposed to the risk arising from interest rate benchmark reform as of March 31, 2023 are indexed to the USD LIBOR. The Group is exposed to legal risk to amend the terms of contracts on the financial instruments subject to interest rate benchmark reform as well as process and operation risks to manage such amendments. In addition, the Group is exposed to the risk of monitoring the market trend regarding the alternative interest rate and establishing the corresponding risk management strategy. If the IBOR is designated as the hedged item, the Group is required to replace it to an alternative benchmark interest and review the effects on the hedging relationship. In addition, the Group is exposed to the risk of minimizing hedge ineffectiveness by aligning the method and timing of the transition to the alternative benchmark interest applied to the hedged item and the hedging instrument.

The Group evaluates the extent to which contracts reference 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.

Non-derivative financial liabilities

The Parent Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities subject to interest rate benchmark reform as of December 31, 2022 were floating-rate bonds indexed to USD LIBOR. As explained above, the Group is discussing with the counterparty about including the fallback clauses as of March 31, 2023.

Derivatives

The Group’s most derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedge are governed by contracts based on the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”)s master agreements. As part of interest rate benchmark reform, ISDA has included a new fallback clause regarding which alternative benchmark interest rate to be applied when the calculation of major IBOR is suspended in the master agreement. The master agreement is applied to derivative contracts after January 25, 2021, and the transaction parties is required to adhere to ISDA protocol to include the same fallback clause to derivative contracts before January 25, 2021. The Group has adhered to ISDA protocol for transition to the alternative benchmark interest rate and the fallback clause will be included when counterparties adhere to the protocol to include. The Group’s counterparties have adhered to ISDA protocol and agreed to include the fallback clause.

Hedge accounting

The Group’s hedged items and hedging instruments as of March 31, 2023 are indexed to USD LIBOR. These benchmark rates are quoted each day, and the IBOR cash flows are exchanged with counterparties as usual.

~~W~~ 5,568,577 5,800,423

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. To manage credit risk, the Group evaluates the credit worthiness of each customer or counterparty by considering the party’s financial information, its own trading records and other factors. Based on such information, the Group establishes credit limits for each customer or counterparty.

The Group establishes a loss allowance in respect of accounts receivable – trade. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures and a collective loss component established for groups of similar assets in respect of losses that are expected to occur. The collective loss allowance is determined based on historical data of collection statistics for similar financial assets. Also, the Group’s credit risk can arise from transactions with financial institutions related to its cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments and derivatives. To minimize such risk, the Group has a policy to deal only with financial institutions with high credit ratings. The amount of maximum exposure to credit risk of the Group is the carrying amount of financial assets as of March 31, 2023.

The above information does not include fair values of financial assets and liabilities of which fair values have not been measured as carrying amounts are reasonable approximation of fair values.

Fair value of the financial instruments that are traded in an active market (financial assets at FVOCI and financial assets at FVTPL) is measured based on the bid price at the end of the reporting date.

The Group uses various valuation methods for determination of fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market. Derivative financial contracts and long-term liabilities are measured using the discounted present value methods. Other financial assets are determined using the methods, such as discounted cash flow and market approach. Inputs used to such valuation methods include swap rate, interest rate, and risk premium, and the Group performs valuation using the inputs which are consistent with natures of assets and liabilities measured.

Interest rates used by the Group for the fair value measurement as of March 31, 2023 are as follows:

Interest rate
Derivative instruments 4.18% ~ 6.69%
Borrowings and debentures 3.73% ~ 4.08%
Long-term payables – other 3.68% ~ 4.10%

Report on review of interim separate financial statements

(English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean)

The Shareholders and Board of Directors

SK TelecomCo., Ltd.

We have reviewed the accompanying interim separate financial statements of SK Telecom Co., Ltd. (collectively referred to as the “Company”), which comprise the interim separate statement of financial position as of March 31, 2023, and the related interim separate statements of profit or loss, interim separate statements of comprehensive income, interim separate statements of changes in equity and interim separate statements of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, and a summary of material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.

Management’s responsibility for the interim separate financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these interim separate financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the Republic of Korea (“KIFRS”) 1034 Interim Financial Reporting, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of interim separate financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim separate financial statements based on our review.

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

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim separate financial statements are not prepared fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with KIFRS 1034 Interim Financial Reporting.

Table of Contents

Other matters

We have audited the separate statement of financial position as of December 31, 2022, and the related separate statement of profit or loss, separate statement of comprehensive income, separate statement of changes in equity and separate statement of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) in accordance with KSA, and our report dated March 10, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. The accompanying separate statement of financial position as of December 31, 2022 presented for comparative purposes is not different, in all material respects, from the above audited separate statement of financial position.

May 12, 2023

Accordingly, certain material subsequent events or<br>circumstances may have occurred during the period from the independent auditor’s review report date to the time this review report is used. Such events and circumstances could significantly affect the accompanying interim separate financial<br>statements and may result in modification to this review report.

Notes to the Interim Separate Financial Statements

March 31, 2023 and 2022 (Unaudited)

1. Reporting Entity

SK Telecom Co., Ltd. (“the Company”) was incorporated on March 29, 1984, under the laws of the Republic of Korea (“Korea”) to provide cellular telephone communication services in Korea. The head office of the Company is located at 65, Eulji-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, Korea.

The Company’s common shares are listed on the Stock Market of Korea Exchange, and its depositary receipts (DRs) are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s total issued shares are held by the following shareholders:

Number of shares Percentage of<br>total shares issued (%)
SK Inc. 65,668,397 30.01
National Pension Service 17,323,760 7.91
Institutional investors and other shareholders 131,627,497 60.15
Kakao Investment Co., Ltd. 3,846,487 1.76
Treasury shares 367,003 0.17
218,833,144 100.00
2. Basis of Preparation
--- ---
(1) Statement of compliance
--- ---

These interim condensed separate financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard as adopted by the Republic of Korea (“KIFRS”) 1034 Interim Financial Reporting as part of the period covered by the Company’s KIFRS annual financial statements. These interim separate financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for full 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 December 31, 2022. The accompanying interim separate financial statements have been translated into English from the Korean language financial statements. In the event of any differences in interpreting the financial statements or the independent auditor’s review report thereon, the Korean version, which is used for regulatory reporting purposes, shall prevail.

These interim financial statements are interim separate financial statements prepared in accordance with KIFRS 1027 Separate FinancialStatements presented by a parent, an investor with joint control of or significant influence over an investee, in which the investments are accounted for at cost.

2. Basis of Preparation, Continued
(2) Use of estimates and judgments
--- ---

1) Critical judgments, assumptions and estimation uncertainties

The preparation of the interim separate financial statements in conformity with KIFRS 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.

In preparing these interim separate financial statements, 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 that applied to the separate financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

2) Fair value measurement

A number of 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 established policies and processes with respect to the measurement of fair values, including Level 3 fair values, and the measurement of fair values is reviewed and is directly reported to the finance executives.

The Company 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 Company assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of KIFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.

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: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
•  Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
•  Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into 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.

Information about assumptions used for fair value measurements are included in note 28.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies applied by the Company in these interim separate financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its separate financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, except for the adoption of new and revised KIFRS applied from January 1, 2023, which are summarized below. The Company has not early applied the new and revised KIFRS and interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective.

The following new and amended KIFRS and interpretations are effective from January 1, 2023, initially, but these amended standards are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s interim separate financial statements.

4. Trade and Other Receivables, Continued
(2) Changes in the loss allowance on trade and other receivables measured at amortized cost for the three-month<br>periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:
--- ---
(In millions of won)

~~W~~ 169,618 5,803 (270 ) 2,955 178,106
(*) The Company writes off trade and other receivables that are determined to be uncollectable due to reasons such<br>as termination of operations or bankruptcy.
--- ---
(3) The Company applies the practical expedient that allows the Company to estimate the loss allowance for accounts<br>receivable – trade at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses. The expected credit losses include the forward-looking information. To make the assessment, the Company uses its historical credit loss experience over the past three<br>years and classifies the accounts receivable – trade by their credit risk characteristics and days overdue.
--- ---

As the Company is a wireless telecommunications service provider, the Company’s financial assets measured at amortized cost primarily consist of receivables from numerous individual customers, and, therefore, no significant credit concentration risk arises.

Receivables related to other revenue mainly consist of receivables from corporate customers. The Company transacts only with corporate customers with credit ratings that are considered to be low at credit risk. In addition, the Company is not exposed to significant credit concentration risk as the Company regularly assesses their credit risk by monitoring their credit ratings. While the contract assets are under the impairment requirements, no significant credit risk has been identified.

5. Prepaid Expenses

The Company pays commissions to its retail stores and authorized dealers for wireless telecommunications services based on their performance of attracting new customers and renewing contracts with existing customers, and recognizes costs that would not occur in case of not signing contracts with new and existing customers as prepaid expenses among the commissions. These prepaid expenses are amortized on a straight-line basis over the periods that the Company expects to maintain its customers.

28. Financial Risk Management
(1) Financial risk management
--- ---

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Market risk is the risk related to the changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The Company implements a risk management system to monitor and manage these specific risks.

The Company’s financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments, long-term investment securities, accounts receivable – trade and other, etc. Financial liabilities consist of accounts payable – trade and other, borrowings, debentures, lease liabilities and others.

1) Market risk
(i) Currency risk
--- ---

The Company’s currency risk is mainly related to changes in recognized assets and liabilities due to exchange rate fluctuations. If the Company determines that it is necessary to hedge currency risk for business purposes, the Company manages currency risk by using currency swaps, etc. Currency risk occurs on forecasted transactions and recognized assets and liabilities which are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as of March 31, 2023 are as follows:

(In millions of won, thousands of foreign currencies) Liabilities
Won equivalent Foreign currencies Won equivalent
22,948 ~~W~~ 29,919 1,199,861 ~~W~~ 1,564,379

Others 336 326
~~W~~ 30,860 ~~W~~ 1,564,826

All values are in US Dollars.

In addition, the Company has entered into cross currency swaps to hedge against currency risk related to foreign currency borrowings and debentures.

As of March 31, 2023, a hypothetical change in exchange rates by 10% would have increased (decreased) the Company’s profit before income tax as follows:

(In millions of won) If decreased by 10%

28. Financial Risk Management, Continued
(1) Financial risk management, Continued

1) Market risk, Continued
--- ---
(ii) Interest rate risk
--- ---

The interest rate risk of the Company arises from borrowings, debentures and long-term payables – other. Since the Company’s interest-bearing assets are mostly fixed-interest bearing assets, the Company’s revenue and operating cash flows from the interest-bearing assets are not influenced by the changes in market interest rates.

The Company performs various analysis to reduce interest rate risk and to optimize its financing. To minimize risks arising from changes in interest rates, the Company takes various measures, such as refinancing, renewal, alternative financing and hedging.

As of March 31, 2023, floating-rate borrowings and debentures amount to ~~W~~40,000 million and ~~W~~391,140 million, respectively, and the Company has entered into interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate risk related to the floating-rate debentures. Therefore, profit before income taxes for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 would not have been affected by the changes in interest rates of floating-rate debentures. If the interest rate increases (decreases) 1%p with all other variables held constant, profit before income taxes for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, would change by ~~W~~100 million in relation to the floating-rate borrowings which have not entered into interest rate swaps.

As of March 31, 2023, the floating-rate long-term payables – other are ~~W~~1,290,225 million. If the interest rate increases (decreases) 1%p with all other variables held constant, profit before income taxes for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, would change by ~~W~~3,226 million in relation to the floating-rate long-term payables – other that are exposed to interest rate risk.

Interest rate benchmark reform and associatedrisks

A fundamental reform of major interest rate benchmarks is being undertaken globally, including the replacement of some interbank offered rates (“IBOR”)s with alternative nearly risk-free rates (referred to as ‘IBOR reform’). Especially, in the case of LIBOR, all of the calculations were suspended as of December 31, 2021, except for the overnight, one month, three months, six months, and 12 months of USD LIBOR, and the aforementioned five USD LIBORs will also be suspended as of June 30, 2023. The alternative interest rate of USD LIBOR is the Secured Overnight Financing Rate(“SOFR”).

The Company plans to include fallback clauses into financial instruments relating to LIBOR to which calculation has not been suspended yet or change their LIBOR directly to alternative interest rates before the calculation is suspended.

(ii) Interest rate risk, Continued

The Company’s financial instruments exposed to the risk arising from interest rate benchmark reform as of March 31, 2023 are indexed to the USD LIBOR. The Company is exposed to legal risk to amend the terms of contracts on the financial instruments subject to interest rate benchmark reform as well as process and operation risks to manage such amendments. In addition, the Company is exposed to the risk of monitoring the market trend regarding the alternative interest rate and establishing the corresponding risk management strategy. If the IBOR is designated as the hedged item, the Company is required to replace it to an alternative benchmark interest and review the effects on the hedging relationship. In addition, the Company is exposed to the risk of minimizing hedge ineffectiveness by aligning the method and timing of the transition to the alternative benchmark interest applied to the hedged item and the hedging instrument.

The Company evaluates the extent to which contracts reference 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.

Non-derivative financial liabilities

The Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities subject to interest rate benchmark reform as of December 31, 2022 were floating-rate bonds indexed to USD LIBOR. As explained above, the Company is discussing with the counterparty about including the fallback clauses as of March 31, 2023.

Derivatives

The Company’s derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedge are governed by contracts based on the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”)s master agreements. As part of interest rate benchmark reform, ISDA has included a new fallback clause regarding which alternative benchmark interest rate to be applied when the calculation of major IBOR is suspended in the master agreement. The master agreement is applied to derivative contracts after January 25, 2021, and the transaction parties is required to adhere to ISDA protocol to include the same fallback clause to derivative contracts before January 25, 2021. The Company has adhered to ISDA protocol for transition to the alternative benchmark interest rate and the fallback clause will be included when counterparties adhere to the protocol to include. The Company’s counterparties have adhered to ISDA protocol and agreed to include the fallback clause.

Hedge accounting

The Company’s hedged items and hedging instruments as of March 31, 2023 are indexed to USD LIBOR. These benchmark rates are quoted each day, and the IBOR cash flows are exchanged with counterparties as usual.

The maximum credit exposure as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are as follows:

(In millions of won) March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents ~~W~~ 699,480 1,217,467

Derivative financial assets 294,426 250,736
~~W~~ 3,783,120 4,137,973

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. To manage credit risk, the Company evaluates the credit worthiness of each customer or counterparty by considering the party’s financial information, its own trading records and other factors. Based on such information, the Company establishes credit limits for each customer or counterparty.

The Company establishes a loss allowance in respect of accounts receivable – trade. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures and a collective loss component established for groups of similar assets in respect of losses that are expected to occur. The collective loss allowance is determined based on historical data of collection statistics for similar financial assets. Also, the Company’s credit risk can arise from transactions with financial institutions related to its cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments and derivatives. To minimize such risk, the Company has a policy to deal only with financial institutions with high credit ratings.

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to each financial asset’s carrying amount as of March 31, 2023.

--- ---

The above information does not include fair values of financial assets and liabilities of which fair values have not been measured as carrying amounts are reasonable approximation of fair values.

Fair value of the financial instruments that are traded in an active market (financial assets at FVOCI) is measured based on the bid price at the end of the reporting date.

The Company uses various valuation methods for determination of fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market. Derivative financial contracts and long-term liabilities are measured using the discounted present value methods. Other financial assets are determined using the methods, such as discounted cash flow and market approach. Inputs used to such valuation methods include swap rate, interest rate and risk premium, and the Company performs valuation using the inputs which are consistent with natures of assets and liabilities measured.

Interest rates used by the Company for the fair value measurement as of March 31, 2023 are as follows:

Interest rate
Derivative instruments 4.18% ~ 4.81%
Borrowings and debentures 3.73% ~ 4.08%
Long-term payables – other 3.68% ~ 4.10%
