Woori Financial Group’s Shareholder Return Policy and Capital Management Plan

In order to improve dividend predictability and enhance shareholder value, Woori Financial Group is executing Shareholder Return Policy and Capital Management Plan in consideration of the Total Shareholder Return Rate (“TSR”) (dividend + share buyback) as follows.

 

  1.

Until reaching CET1 12%, we will take GDP growth rate into consideration and manage our internal asset growth rate within 4~5% range, while offering TSR level of 30%.

 

  2.

After stably exceeding CET1 12%, we will re-evaluate our mid to long-term Shareholder Return Policy, such as offering a TSR level of equal to or above 30%.

 

  3.

TSR is subject to change, due to rapid changes in the business environment such as those caused by increased financial market uncertainty or legal and regulatory restrictions imposed by supervisory authorities.

 

  •  

Shareholder Return Policy implementation details in 2023

Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation (“AOI”) related to dividends (March 2023)

Purchase and Cancellation of Treasury Shares (April 2023)

We acquired treasury shares following the board of directors’ resolution. We entered into a trust agreement for the acquisition of treasury shares (100 billion KRW worth).

We paid the first quarterly dividends (180 KRW per share) since the establishment of Woori Financial Group pursuant to the board of directors’ resolution.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

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

Reviewed Financial Statements

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

Management’s Responsibility

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

Auditor’s review responsibility

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

We conducted our 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 and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

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

Other Matter

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 accompanying condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, were reviewed by other auditors whose report thereon, dated August 12, 2022, expressed that nothing came to their attention that caused them to believe that those condensed interim consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with K-IFRS No.1034 Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements that other auditors reviewed are those before reflecting the adjustments described in Note 2. The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, presented for comparative purposes, are those after reflecting such adjustments.

The consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2022, 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 other auditors in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and their report thereon, dated March 7, 2023, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2022, presented for comparative purposes, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited consolidated statement of financial position from which it has been derived.

Certain subsequent events or circumstances, which may occur between the review report date and the time of reading this report, could have a material impact on the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto.

The Russia – Ukraine conflict has been escalated in February 2022, and international sanctions were imposed on Russia. Due to the sanctions, the lack of liquidity in the Russian foreign exchange market as well as the significant decline in value of the Rubles and the decline in value of Russian companies’ securities are in progress. As a result, the Group may experience situations such as a decrease in value of financial assets or operating assets owned by the Group regarding the conflict, an increase in receivable payment terms, limitation to transfer funds, decrease in the profit. As of June 30, 2023, the Group expects such conflict and sanctions would have financial impacts on the business of AO Woori Bank, one of the subsidiaries, in the future. However, the Group cannot reasonably predict the financial impacts because it is very uncertain to estimate the impact on the Group’s financial position and business performance.

  •  

Structured entity for the investments in securities

The structured entity is established for the purpose of investments in securities. The Group acquires beneficiary certificates through its contribution of funding to the structured entity by the Group, and it is exposed to the risk that it may not be able to recover its fund depending on the result of investment performance of asset managers of the structured entity.

 

  •

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

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

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

Unconsolidated structured entities classified as ‘structured financing’ include real estate project financing investment vehicle, social overhead capital companies, and special purpose companies for ship (aircraft) financing. Each entity is incorporated as a separate company with a limited purpose in order to efficiently pursue business goals and the fund is raised by equity investment or loans from financial institutions and participating institutions. ‘Structured financing’ is a financing method for large-scale risky business, with investments made based on feasibility of the specific business or project, instead of credit of business owner or physical collaterals. The investors receive profits from the operation of the business. The Group recognizes interest revenue, profit or loss from assessment or transactions of financial instruments, or dividend income. With regard to uncertainties involving structured financing, there are entities that provide financial support such as additional fund, guarantees and prioritized credit grants prior to the Group’s intervention, but the Group is exposed to possible losses due to loss of principal from reduction in investment value or irrecoverable loans arising from failure to collect scheduled cash flows and cessation of projects

Unconsolidated structured entities classified as ‘investment funds’ include investment trusts and private equity funds. An investment trust orders the investment and operation of funds to the trust manager in accordance with trust contract with profits distributed to the investors.

2.

BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Group maintains its accounting records in Korean won and prepares statutory financial statements in the Korean language (Hangul) in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the Republic of Korea (K-IFRS). The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English from the Korean language financial statements. The Group’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements are condensed interim financial statements prepared in applying International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the Republic of Korea (“K-IFRS”) 1034 Interim Finance Reporting for some of periods in which the annual consolidated financial statements belong. It is necessary to use the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 for understanding of the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

(1)

From the accounting period beginning on January 1, 2023, the Group has newly applied the following standards and interpretations.

 

  1)

Amendments to K-IFRS No.1001 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ and IFRS2 ‘Determination of Importance’ – Accounting Policy Disclosure

IFRS Practice Statement 2 has been amended to define and disclose important accounting policies and to provide guidance on how to apply the concept of importance. The Group does not expect that these amendments have a significant impact on the financial statements.

 

  2)

Amendments to K-IFRS 1008 ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’ – Definition of Accounting Estimates

The amendments have defined accounting estimates and clarified how to distinguish them from changes in accounting policies. The Group does not expect that these amendments have a significant impact on the financial statements.

 

  3)

Amendments to K-IFRS 1001 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ – Disclosure of valuation gains or losses on financial liabilities with condition to adjust exercise price

The amendments require disclosure of valuation gains or losses (limited to those recognized in the profit or loss) of the conversion options or warrants (or financial liabilities including them), if all or part of the financial instrument with exercise price that is adjusted depending on the issuer’s share price change is classified as financial liability as defined in paragraph 11 (2) of K-IFRS 1032. The Group does not expect that these amendments have a significant impact on the financial statements.

 

  4)

Amendments to K-IFRS 1012 ‘Income Taxes’ – deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction

Additional phrase ‘the temporary difference to be added and the temporary difference to be deducted do not occur in the same amount’ has been added to initial recognition exception for a transaction in which an asset or liability is initially recognized. The Group does not expect that these amendments have a significant impact on the financial statements.

 

  5)

New Standard: Korean IFRS 1117 Insurance Contract

Korean IFRS 1117 Insurance Contracts replaces Korean IFRS 1104 Insurance Contracts. This Standard estimates future cash flows of an insurance contract and measures insurance liabilities using discount rates applied with assumptions and risks at the measurement date. The entity recognizes insurance revenue on an accrual basis including services (insurance coverage) provided to the policyholder by each annual period. In addition, investment components (Refunds due to termination/maturity) repaid to a policyholder even if an insured event does not occur, are excluded from insurance revenue, and insurance financial income or expense and the investment income or expense are presented separately to enable users of the information to understand the sources of income or expenses. There is no significant impact on the financial statement of the Group due to this amendment.

(2)

The details of K-IFRSs that have been issued and published since January 1, 2023 but have not yet reached the effective date are as follows:

 

  1)

Amendments to K-IFRS 1001 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

The amendments clarify that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the substantive rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise right to defer settlement of the liability or the expectations of management. Also, the settlement of liability include the transfer of the entity’s own equity instruments, however, it would be excluded if an option to settle them by the entity’s own equity instruments if compound financial instruments is met the definition of equity instruments and recognized separately from the liability. The amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and earlier application is permitted. The Group does not expect that these amendments have a significant impact on the financial statements.

The above enacted or amended standards will not have a significant impact on the Group.

 

(3)

Significant accounting policies and method of computation used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 except for the one described below.

 

  •  

Income tax expense

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

 

(4)

K-IFRS 1007‘Statement of cash flow’ – Cash and cash equivalents

The Group did not classify deposits with restrictions under relevant regulations, such as reserve deposits, as cash and cash equivalents. However, in accordance of the IFRS Interpretation Committee’s agenda decision in April 2022 ‘Demand deposits restricted on use under contracts with third parties’ and reply to IFRS inquiries ‘whether the reserve deposit should be classified as cash and cash equivalents’ the policy was changed to classifying the reserve deposits with restrictions under relevant regulations which meet the criteria of demand deposits as cash and cash equivalent and applied the modification retrospectively.

The impact of this change in accounting policy is as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

Material accounting estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated based on numerous factors, including historical experience and expectations of future events that are considered reasonably possible. Actual results can differ from those estimates based on such definitions. The accounting estimates and assumptions that contain significant risk of materially changing current book values of assets and liabilities in the next accounting periods are as follows.

The South Korean government is implementing support measures such as loan repayment deferment to mitigate the negative impact of COVID-19. The Group determined that the credit risk of loans affected by the loan deferment has significantly increased and evaluated that the possibility of default is high.

The Group will continue to assess the adequacy of forward-looking information related to the duration of the aftermath of COVID-19 on economy and government policies

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s operating activity is exposed to various financial risks and the and the main types of risks are credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, etc. The risk management department analyze and assess the level of complex risks in order to manage the risks and the risk management standards such as policies, regulations, management systems and decision-making have been established and operated for sound management of the Group.

The risk management organization is operated by risk management committee, risk management responsible, and risk management department. The Board of Directors operates a risk management committee comprised of outside directors for professional risk management. The risk management committee plays a role as the top decision-making body in risk management by establishing basic policies for risk management that are in line with the Group’s management strategy and determining the risk level that the Group is willing to take. The risk management officer (CRO) assists the risk management committee and operates a group risk management council comprised of risk management managers of subsidiaries to periodically check and improve the risk burden of external environments and the Group. The risk management department is independent and is in charge of risk management of the Group. It also supports reporting and decision-making of key risk-related issues.

 

(1)

Credit risk

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

 

  1)

Credit risk management

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

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

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

 

  2)

Measurement of expected credit loss

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

 

Classification

  

Stage 1

  

Stage 2

  

Stage 3

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

 

(*)

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

Loss allowance under credit impairment model is measured as the cumulative change in lifetime expected credit loss since initial recognition.

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

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

 

Corporate Exposures

  

Retail Exposures

Asset quality level ‘Precautionary’ or lower

   Asset quality level ‘Precautionary’ or lower

More than 30 days past due

   More than 30 days past due

‘Warning’ level in early warning system

   Significant decrease in credit rating(*)

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

   Deferment of repayment of principal and interest

Significant decrease in credit rating (*)

   Deferment of interest

Deferment of repayment of principal and interest

  

Deferment of interest

  

 

(*)

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

 

    

Credit rating

  

Significant increased indicator of the credit rating

Corporate    AAA ~ A+    More than or equal to 4 steps
   A- ~ BBB    More than or equal to 3 steps
   BBB- ~ BB+    More than or equal to 2 steps
   BB ~ BB-    More than or equal to 1 step
Retail    1 ~ 3    More than or equal to 3 steps
   4 ~ 5    More than or equal to 2 steps
   6 ~ 10    More than or equal to 1 step

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

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

 

  •  

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

 

  •  

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

 

  •  

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

The Group has estimated the expected credit loss allowances using an estimation model that additionally reflects the future economic forward information based on the past experience loss rate data.

Probability of default (PD) and Loss given default (LGD) for each category of financial asset is being calculated by considering factors such as debtor type, credit rating and portfolio. The estimates are regularly being reviewed in order to reduce discrepancies with actual losses.

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

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

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

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

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

Non-trading activities

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

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

ΔEVE and ΔNII calculated on Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book(IRRBB) basis for assets and liabilities by subsidiary as of the end of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are as follows(Unit: Korean Won in millions):

Liquidity risk

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

 

  1)

Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk management prevents financial institutions from incurring losses due to lack of funds by effectively managing liquidity shortages that can occur due to inconsistent maturity of assets and liabilities or an unexpected outflow of funds. The financial liabilities that are relevant to liquidity risk are incorporated within the scope of risk management. Derivatives instruments are excluded from those financial liabilities as they reflect expected cash flows for a pre-determined period.

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

 

  2)

Maturity analysis of non-derivative financial liabilities

Maturity analysis of derivative financial liabilities

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

The cash flow by the maturity of derivative financial liabilities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

Maturity analysis of off-balance accounts (Guarantees loan commitments and others)

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

Operational risk

The Group defines the operational risk as the risk of potential losses arising from inadequate or incorrect internal procedures, human resource and system, and/or external factors.

 

  1)

Operational risk management

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

 

  2)

Operational risk measurement

The Group applies the standard method for the purpose of calculating operational risk required equity capital.

- The standard method is to calculate operational risk required equity capital by multiplying the Business Indicator Component(BIC), which is calculated by multiplying Business Indicator(BI) that is a measure based on consolidated financial statements and adjustment coefficient, and the Internal Loss Multiplier(ILM), an adjusted multiplier based on the average past loss and operating index.

“Operational risk required equity capital” = Business Indicator Component (BIC) × Internal Loss Multiplier(ILM)

“Business Indicator Component(BIC)” = Business Index(BI) × Adjustment Coefficient

“Internal Loss Multiplier(ILM)” = ln (exp(1)-1 + (Loss Component(LC)/Business Indicator Component(BIC)^0.8)

The Group was aware of employee embezzlement incidents that occurred before the prior term in April 2022, and the Financial Supervisory Service conducted on-site inspections from April 28 to May 30, 2022.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

(1)

The fair value hierarchy

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

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

 

  •  

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

 

  •  

Level 2— fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability. The types of financial assets or liabilities generally included in Level 2 are debt securities, and derivatives traded in OTC(e.g swaps, forwards, options, and etcs).

 

  •  

Level 3— fair value measurements are those derived from valuation technique that include inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on market observable inputs. The types of financial assets or liabilities generally included in Level 3 are non-public securities, complex structured notes, and complex derivatives traded in OTC.

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

Among financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value, the amount transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 is 2,835,187 million Won. The Group recognizes transfers among levels at the end of reporting period in which events have occurred or conditions have changed.

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

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

The Group recognizes transfers between levels at the end of reporting period within which events have occurred or conditions have changed.

 

(4)

The results of a sensitivity analysis on the rational fluctuation in the unobservable inputs used for measuring Level 3 financial instruments are as follows:

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

Meanwhile, among the financial instruments that are classified as Level 3 amounting to 5,113,398 million Won and 4,695,688 million Won as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 respectively, equity instruments of 3,819,161 million Won and 3,196,703 million Won whose carrying amount are considered to represent the reasonable approximation of fair value are excluded from the sensitivity analysis.

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

 

    

Valuation methods

  

Input variables

Securities at amortized cost

  

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

  

Risk-free market rate and credit spread

Loans and other financial assets at amortized cost

  

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

  

Risk-free market rate, credit spread and prepayment rate

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

  

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

The Group provided Korean won settlement services for trading transaction settlement between Korea and Iran, investigated by U.S. prosecutors (federal prosecutors, New York state prosecutors) and New York State Department of Financial Services for violations of U.S. sanctions against Iran, Sudan, Syria and Cuba. In this regard, the Office of Foreign Assets Control concluded its investigation in December 2020 urging the bank’s attention without taking any additional sanctions, and New York State Department of Financial Services concluded its investigation in February 2022 without taking any additional sanctions. Meanwhile, in June 2022, the Group reversed the provision related to the investigation of the U.S. Prosecutors, which have not been completed yet, in consideration of the opinion of an independent legal expert that the probability of sanctions by the U.S. Prosecutors in this case is low.

NET DEFINED BENEFIT LIABILITY(ASSET)

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

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

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

 

Volatility of asset

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

Decrease in profitability of blue chip bonds

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

Risk of inflation

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

Derivatives held for trading are classified into financial assets at FVTPL (Note 7) and financial liabilities at FVTPL (Note 18), and derivatives designated for hedging are presented as a separate line item in the consolidated statements of financial position.

 

(2)

Overview of the Group’s hedge accounting

The hedging relationships that the Group applies fair value hedge accounting and cash flow hedge accounting to are affected by interest rate which is related with Interest Rate Benchmark Reform. The interest rates to which the hedging relationships are exposed are USD 1M LIBOR, USD 3M LIBOR, Compounding SOFR, AUD 3M BBSW, and CD 3M. The nominal amounts of hedging instruments related to USD 1M LIBOR, USD 3M LIBOR, Compounding SOFR, AUD 3M BBSW, CD 3M in the hedging relationships of the Group are USD 270,000,000, USD 2,120,000,000, USD 1,125,000,000, AUD 150,000,000, and KRW 640,000 million, respectively. The Group pays close attention to discussions in the market and industry regarding the applicable alternative benchmark interest rates for the exposed interest rate. The Group judges related uncertainty is expected to be no longer present when the exposed interest rates are replaced by the applicable benchmark interest rates.

 

  1)

Fair value hedge

As of the June 30, 2023, the Group has applied fair value hedge on fixed interest rate debentures on foreign currency amounting to 3,795,737 million Won and debentures on local currency amounting to 639,761 million Won. The purpose of the hedging is to avoid fair value volatility risk of fixed interest rate foreign currency denominated debentures derived from fluctuations of market interest rate, and as such the Group entered into interest rate swap agreements designated as hedging instruments.

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

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

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

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

  2)

Cash Flow Hedge

As of the June 30, 2023, the Group has applied cash flow hedge debentures on local currency amounting to 229,919 million Won, debentures on foreign currency amounting to 1,497,378 million Won. The Group’s hedging strategies are to ① Mitigate risks of cash flow fluctuation from variable interest rate debentures on local currency due to changes in market interest rate by entering into an interest rate swap contract and thereby designating it as hedging instrument; ② Mitigate the risks of cash flow fluctuation from principal and interest of variable interest rate debentures denominated in foreign currency due to changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates; ③ Mitigate the risks of cash flow fluctuation from principal and interest of fixed interest rate debentures denominated in foreign currency due to changes in foreign exchange rates and ④ Mitigate the risks of cash flow fluctuation in variable interest rate foreign currency borrowings resulting from changes in market interest rates and designate it as a hedging instrument through entering into currency swap contracts and interest rate swap contracts.

This means exchanging a predetermined nominal amount as set forth in the interest rate swap contract adjusted by the differences between the fixed and variable interest rates, which results in the conversion of interest rates of debentures in local currency from variable interest into fixed interest, eliminating the cash flow fluctuation risk.

In addition, this also means a payment of predetermined principal amount as set forth in the currency swap adjusted by fixed interest rate, an exchange of an amount calculated by applying variable interest rate to USD or applying fixed interest rate to USD, and an exchange of the principal denominated in KRW and principal denominated in foreign currency at maturity eliminating cash flow fluctuation risk on principal and interest.

The hedge ratio is determined by matching the nominal amount of the hedging instrument to the face amount of the hedged item in accordance with interest rate swap and currency swap.

Only interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuation risks, which are the most significant factor in the cash flow fluctuation of the hedged item, are addressed in this hedging relationship, and other risk factors such as credit risk are not subject to hedging.

Accordingly, hedge ineffectiveness may arise from price margin set by the counterparty of hedging instruments and unilateral change in credit risk of any party in the transaction.

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

 

  3)

Hedges of Net Investment in Foreign Operations

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

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

A portion of the Group’s net investments in Woori America Bank, Woori Bank(Cambodia) PLC. and Woori Global Markets Asia Limited are hedged in USD denominated foreign currency bonds(Carrying amount as of June 30, 2023: USD 863,959,317) and mitigate foreign exchange risk arising from the net assets of subsidiaries. The loan has been designated as a hedging instrument for the value change of net investments, which arises from fluctuation in the spot exchange rate between USD and KRW.

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

(*1)

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

(*2)

It is a system in which the amount of stock payable is determined at the beginning, and the payment rate is determined in accordance with the degree of achievement of the pre-set performance target. Performance is evaluated by long-term performance indicators such as relative shareholder return, net profit, return on equity (ROE), non-performing loan ratio, and job performance.

 

  2)

The Group accounts for performance condition share-based payments according to the cash-settled method and the fair value of the liabilities is reflected in the compensation costs by re-measuring every closing period. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the book value of the liabilities related to the performance condition share-based payments recognized by the Group amounts to 37,243 million Won and 41,334 million Won, respectively, which includes 15,737 million Won and 17,494 million Won, respectively.

Other commitments

 

  1)

As of June 30, 2023, Woori FIS Co., Ltd, a subsidiary, has been provided with a payment guarantee limit of 6,457 million Won in relation to bid guarantees and contract/defect guarantees from the Korean Software Financial Cooperative, but there is no committed amount. In relation to the guarantee, the capital contributions to the Korean Software Financial Cooperative are provided as collateral. In addition, as of June 30, 2023, Seoul Guarantee Insurance Company is providing a payment guarantee of 374 million Won related to the return of subsidy to the daycare center at work.

 

  2)

As of June 30, 2023, Woori FIS Co., Ltd, a subsidiary agreed with Shinhan Bank for short-term borrowings of 20 billion Won for one year (2022.11.16.~2023.11.16.), and there is no outstanding balance of short-term borrowings as of June 30, 2023.

 

  3)

As of June 30, 2023, Woori Savings bank is provided with a guarantee of 1,295 million Won from Seoul Guarantee Insurance Company in relation to provisional attachment for recovery of loans, etc.

 

  4)

As of June 30, 2023, Woori Asset Trust, a subsidiary, has committed to fulfill responsibility for the completion of 67 projects, including a residential-commercial complex in U-dong, Haeundae-gu, Busan. Responsible completion type management land trust is a trust that bears the obligation of responsible completion when the construction company fails to fulfill the obligation of responsible completion, and the obligation to compensate losses to the lending financial institution if Woori Asset Trust fails to fulfill the obligation of responsible completion. As of June 30, 2023, the total amount of PF(Project Financing) loans from PF lending financial institutions invested in the responsible completion type management land trust business is 3,385,256 million Won. Although additional losses may occur in relation to these contracts for liability obligations, these effects were not reflected in the financial statements at the end of the current quarter because the possibility is not high and the amount of losses cannot be reliably estimated. Also, Woori Asset Trust may lend a trust account for a part of the total project cost in relation to 13 debt-type land trust contracts including Busan Haeundae Udong Beautique Terrace Hotel and responsible completion management land trust contracts in Gyeongseo-dong, Seo-gu, Incheon and Songdo-dong, Yeonsu-gu Incheon, and additional business sites in progress. The maximum loan amount (unused limit) is 50,719 million Won. Whether or not Woori Asset Trust lends a trust account in relation to the relevant businesses is not an unconditional payment obligation, and it is determined by considering overall matters such as the unique account and the fund balance plan of each trust business.

 

  5)

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

BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

(1)

General

As of March 23, 2023, the Group acquired 53.9% interest(excluding treasury stocks, 52.0% interest including treasury stocks) in Daol Investment CO., Ltd. and changed the name of Daol Investment CO., Ltd. to Woori Venture Partners. The main reasons for the business combination are to maximize synergy between the consolidated subsidiaries and to strengthen the non- banking business portfolio.

If Woori Venture Partners had been acquired from January 1, 2023, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income would have shown operating profit and net income of Woori Venture Partners for 7,211 and 6,154 million Won, respectively.

(*1)

The acquired financial assets at amortized cost were estimated at fair value. The contractual total of the financial assets at amortized cost of Woori Venture Partners is 127,384 million Won, and the contractual cash flows that are not expected to be recovered as of the acquisition date are 2,480 million Won.

(*2)

The intangible assets include 18,880 million Won in customer relationships as a result of business combination and were valued at fair value through the Multi-period excess earning method (MEEM) as they were judged separately identifiable intangible assets. Multi-period excess earning method is a method to estimate the future cash flows generated by each intangible asset and to discount the cash flows generated purely by that intangible asset to its present value by deducting the portion of the asset’s contribution to that cash flow generation.

If, within one year of the acquisition date, new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date requires the adjustment of the amounts recognized at the acquisition date, or the recognition of additional provisions existing at the acquisition date, the accounting for the business combination will be adjusted.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

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

Reviewed Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements of Woori Financial Group Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the separate interim statement of financial position as of June 30, 2023, the separate interim statement of comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, the separate interim statement of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and notes, comprising a summary of material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility

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

Auditor’s review responsibility

Our responsibility is to issue a report on these condensed separate 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 information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

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

The separate statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the related

separate statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year the ended, which are not accompanying this report, were audited by other auditor in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and their report thereon, dated March 7, 2023, expressed an unqualified opinion.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

(1)

The fair value hierarchy

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

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

 

  •  

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

 

  •  

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

 

  •  

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

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

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

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

 

    

Valuation methods

  

Input variables

Derivatives    As the transaction price of the forward contract is determined, the discounted cash flow method is used to calculate the fair values of the underlying asset, and based on this, the fair value of derivative is calculated.    Values of underlying assets
Hybrid securities    The fair value is measured using the Hull and White model and the Monte Carlo Simulations.    YTM Matrix, Additive spread by grade, Risk spread by entity, Effective Credit rating, Issuing information by item, Interest rate volatility estimate

Valuation methods of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value and classified into Level 3 and significant but unobservable inputs are as follows:

Derivative assets    The discounted cash flow method    Equity related    Discount rate    9.25% ~ 11.25%    Value of underlying assets and derivative assets decreases as discount rate increases.
Hybrid securities    Hull and White model and others    Hybrid securities related    Interest rate (YTM), Discount rate   

Interest rate 3.53%~ 3.70%

Discount rate

4.39% ~ 6.87%

   Variation of fair value increases as variation of interest rate (YTM) increases.

The fair value of financial assets classified as level 3 uses external valuation figures.

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

The sensitivity analysis on financial instruments shows how changes in unobservable inputs affect changes in fair value of the instruments through favorable and unfavorable changes. When the fair value of a financial instrument is affected by more than one unobservable assumption, the below table reflects the most favorable or the most unfavorable changes which resulted from varying the assumptions individually. The sensitivity analysis was performed for equity related derivatives of which fair value changes are recognized as net income and hybrid securities of which fair value changes are recognized as other comprehensive income among level 3 financial instruments.

The following table presents the sensitivity analysis to disclose the effect of reasonably possible volatility (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

NET DEFINED BENEFIT LIABILITY (ASSET)

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

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

 

Volatility of asset

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

Decrease in profitability of blue chip bonds

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

Risk of inflation

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

(*1)

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

(*2)

The number of payable stocks is granted at the initial contract date and the payment rate is determined based on the achievement of the pre-determined performance targets. Performance is evaluated as long-term performance indication including relative shareholder return, net income, return on equity (ROE), non-performing loan ratio and job performance.

 

  2)

The Company accounts for performance condition share-based payments according to the cash-settled method and the fair value of the liabilities is reflected in the compensation costs by re-measuring every closing period. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the book value of the liabilities related to the performance condition share-based payments recognized by the Company is 7,748 million Won and 8,266 million Won.
