WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC.

CONDENSED SEPARATE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE THREE-MONTH AND SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 AND 2024



Independent Auditors’ 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 condensed separate interim statement of financial position as of June 30, 2025, the condensed separate interim statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, the condensed separate interim statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 and notes, comprising of material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed 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.

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

Other Matters

The separate statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the related separate statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not accompanying this report, were audited by us in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and their report thereon, dated March 5, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying separate statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, presented for comparative purposes, is not different from that audited by us from which it was derived in all material respects.

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

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

(1)

The fair value hierarchy

The fair value hierarchy is determined by the levels of judgment involved in estimating fair values of financial assets and liabilities. 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 the fair value of its financial assets and financial liabilities. Fair value is measured based on the perspective of a market participant. As such, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions reflect those that market participants would use for measuring the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

Level 3— fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques 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:

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 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 interest 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 interest 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.

Subject to    Shares granted for the year 2025
Type of payment    Cash-settled
Vesting period    January 1, 2025 ~ December 31, 2028
Date of payment    2029-01-01
Fair value (*1)    16,362 Won
Valuation method    Black-Scholes Model
Expected dividend rate    7.30%
Expected maturity date    3.50 years
Number of shares remaining    As of June 30, 2025    85,734 shares
   As of December 31, 2024    — 
Number of shares granted (*2)    As of June 30, 2025    85,734 shares
   As of December 31, 2024    — 

 

(*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 Scholes model based on the base price at the time of each settlement.

(*2)

The number of payable stocks is granted at the initial contract date. This is a system in which the number of shares to be granted is determined based on the evaluation results of long-term performance indicators over a total of four years, including the current year, and the final cash compensation is made by reflecting the stock price at the time of payment. Performance is evaluated as long-term performance indication including relative shareholder return, common equity tier 1(CET1) ratio, net income, return on equity (ROE), C/I ratio, 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the book value of the liabilities related to the performance condition share-based payments recognized by the Company is 13,378 million Won and 11,883 million Won.
