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 consolidated interim financial statements of Woori Financial Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”), which comprise the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as of March 31, 2025, the condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 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 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.

Auditors’ 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 present fairly in all material respects, in accordance with K-IFRS No.1034 Interim Financial Reporting.

Other Matters

The consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not accompanying this report, were audited by us in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and our report thereon, dated March 5, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of the Group 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.

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

Material accounting estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated based on a number of factors, including historical experience and expectations of future events that are considered reasonably probable. Accounting estimates calculated based on these definitions may not match actual results.

In preparing interim financial statements, management must apply accounting policies and make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect assets/liabilities and income/expenses. Therefore, actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgments made by management in applying the accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty for the preparation of interim financial statements are consistent with those made for the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group is exposed to various risks that may arise from its operating activities and the main types of risks are credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and etc. The Risk Management Organization analyzes and assesses 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, Chief Risk Officer(CRO), 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 Chief Risk 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

To measure credit risk, the Group considers the possibility of failure in performing the obligation by the 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 rating, other than quantitative methods utilizing financial statements and others, and assessor’s judgement, the Group utilizes credit rating derived using statistical methods.

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

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, depending 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.

At the end of each reporting period the Group assesses whether credit risk has significantly been increased since the date of initial recognition. The Group assesses whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition by using credit rating, asset quality level, early warning system, days past due and others. 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 below 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 below 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 ~ 9    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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2025 AND 2024 (UNAUDITED)

 

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

 

  -

When principal and interest 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 also incorporates forward looking into the estimates of default rates and loss given default. Considering the potential for latent insolvency due to increased internal and external economic uncertainties, the Group adjusts the forward looking to additionally recognize expected credit loss allowance.

The Group has estimated the allowance for credit losses using an estimation model that additionally reflects the forward looking information based on the past experience loss rate data.

Loss allowance is calculated by applying PD (Probability of Default) and LGD (Loss Given Default) estimated for each financial asset in consideration of factors such as obligor 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 variables such as gross domestic product (real, original series) growth rate, consumer price index, apartment sales price index (KB, Seoul) and unemployment rate (original series) in order to forecast future economic conditions.

The Group applies a future economic situation estimation model as follows, and the results are reviewed regularly.

 

  -

Development of estimation models through regression analysis of obligator (corporate, retail)/by-period and collateral (credit, collateral)/by-period recover rate in the event of default (1- Loss Given Default) and macroeconomic indicator data by year

Market risk

Market risk is the possible risk of loss arising from trading position and non-trading position as a result of the volatility of market factors such as interest rates, stock prices and foreign exchange rates.

 

  1)

Market risk management

Market risk management refers to the process of making and implementing decisions for the avoidance, acceptance or mitigation of risks by identifying the underlying source of the risks, measuring its level, and evaluating the appropriateness of the level of accepted market risks for both trading and non-trading activities.

 

  a)

Trading activities

The Group uses the standard approach and internal model approach (Woori Bank) in measuring market risk for trading positions, and allocates market risk capital through the Board Risk Management Committee. Risk management departments of the Group and its subsidiaries manage limits in detail including those on risk and loss with their management result regularly reported to the Board Risk Management Committee.

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

The Basel III standard approach 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.

 

  b)

Non-trading activities

From the end of 2019 for the Bank and the beginning of 2021 for non-banking subsidiaries, the Bank 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 interest rates, 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 off-balance accounts.

ΔEVE and ΔNII calculated on interest risk in banking book (IRRBB) basis for assets and liabilities by subsidiary as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 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 is to prevent potential cash shortages as a result of mismatching maturity of assets and liabilities or unexpected cash outflows. The consolidated financial liabilities that are relevant to liquidity risk are incorporated within the scope of risk management.

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.

The information on early repayment related to asset securitization is described in Note 34. Contingent Liabilities and Commitments (4) 3).

Maturity analysis of off-balance accounts (Payment guarantees, commitments, and etc.)

A payment 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. Loan commitments 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 payment guarantees, such as financial guarantees for debentures issued or loans, unused loan commitments, and other credits, 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 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

(4)

Operational risk

The Group defines the operational risk that could cause a negative effect on capital resulting from inadequate internal process, labor work and systematic problem 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 measures operational risk capital using the Basel III standardized approach. This approach calculates the required operational risk capital by multiplying the Business Indicator Component (BIC), which represents the scale of operations, with the Internal Loss Multiplier (ILM), which reflects the magnitude of actual historical internal losses relative to the scale of operations.

Operational risk limits are set with the approval of the Board Risk Management Committee. The Group regularly calculates the operational risk capital and reports any limit breaches to the management and the Board Risk Management Committee.

Since a reduction in the size of internal loss events leads to a decrease in operational risk capital, it is important to prevent loss events in advance. Accordingly, the Group conducts operational risk management activities using tools such as Risk Control Self-Assessment (RCSA), Key Risk Indicators (KRI), and loss data. Additionally, to ensure continuity of operations in emergency situations such as disasters, the Bank has established a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and conducts annual simulation drills.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

(1)

The fair value hierarchy

The fair value hierarchy for financial instruments is determined by the amount of observable market data. 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 (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Group 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 Group’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 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 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.

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:

 

  1)

Valuation methods and input variables for each type of financial instrument classified into level 2 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are as follows:

 

    

Valuation methods

  

Input variables

Debt securities    Fair value is measured by discounting the future cash flows of debt securities applying the risk-free market rate with credit spread or applying the market interest rate applied to entities with similar creditworthiness to the issuer of debt securities.    Risk-free market rate, credit spread
Equity securities and beneficiary certificates    Fair value is measured by using the net asset value method, FCFE(Free Cash Flow to Equity Mode), Comparable Company Analysis, Dividend Discount Model, Risk-adjusted Rate of Return Method, LSMC(Least-Squares Monte Carlo), and Hull-White model.    Values of underlying assets such as bond, risk-free market rate, market risk premium, corporate Beta, discount rate originated from credit grade, volatility of stocks , volatility of interest rate
Derivatives    Fair value is measured by models such as option model.    Discount rate, volatility, exchange rate, etc.
Loans    The future cash flows of debt instruments are measured at a discount by applying the market interest rate applied to entities with similar creditworthiness to the debtor.    Risk-free market rate and credit spread
Deposits due to customers    Fair value is measured by Hull-White model.    Swaption Volume, etc.

 

  2)

Valuation methods and input variables for each type of financial instrument classified into level 3 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are as follows :

 

    

Valuation methods

  

Input variables

Loans    Fair value is measured by using the DCF model (Discounted Cash Flow Model) and risk-adjusted discount rate method (Tsiveriotis-Fernandes).    Discount rate, volatility of stock, risk-free market rate, credit spread
Stocks, capital contributions and beneficiary certificates    Among DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) Model, FCFE (Free Cash Flow to Equity) Model, Comparable Company Analysis, Dividend Discount Model, Risk-adjusted Rate of Return Method, Net Asset Value Method, LSMC, Binomial Tree Model, Hull-White and Precedent Transactions model, one or more methods are used given the characteristic of the subject of fair value measurement.    Risk-free market rate, market risk premium, corporate Beta, stock prices, volatility of underlying asset, discount rate originated from credit grade, volatility of interest rate, volatility of real estate value, PBR, PSR, etc.
Derivatives    Fair value is measured by models such as option model.    Correlation coefficient, stock price, volatility, etc.
Others    The fair value of the underlying asset, after calculating the fair value using the DCF model, etc., considering the price and volatility of the calculated underlying asset, is calculated using the binomial tree, which is commonly used valuation techniques in the market.    Stock price, volatility of underlying assets, etc.

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 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 6,359,617 million Won and 6,248,340 million Won as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, equity instruments of 4,914,444 million Won and 5,655,401 million Won whose carrying amount are considered to represent the reasonable approximation of fair value are excluded from the sensitivity analysis.

The sensitivity on fluctuation of input variables by financial instruments as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

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.

NET DEFINED BENEFIT LIABILITY(ASSET)

The Group’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 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 interest rate calculated based on the return on high quality corporate bond. A deficit may occur if the rate of return of plan assets falls short of the interest rate.

Decrease in the return on high quality corporate bond

   A decrease in the return on high quality corporate bond 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.

Overview of the Group’s hedge accounting

 

  1)

Fair value hedge

As of March 31, 2025, the Group has applied fair value hedge on fixed interest rate foreign currency denominated debentures amounting to 3,792,889 million Won, and foreign currency loans amounting to 128,048 million Won. The purpose of the hedging is to avoid fair value volatility risk of fixed interest rate foreign and local 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 and local currency 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 Compounding SOFR or CD 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 March 31, 2025, the Group has applied cash flow hedge on local currency denominated debentures amounting to 139,998 million won and debentures on foreign currency amounting to 1,728,802 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 by entering into a currency swap contract and thereby designating it as hedging instrument; 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.

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2025 AND 2024 (UNAUDITED)

 

By 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, the variable interest rate terms of the Korean won-denominated variable rate bond are converted to fixed interest rate terms, thereby eliminating the cash flow volatility 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, and overseas branch 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 fluctuation risk of KRW against USD, which may reduce the carrying amount of the Group’s net investments in Woori America Bank, Woori Bank (Cambodia) PLC, Woori Global Markets Asia Limited, and overseas branch.

A portion of the Group’s net investments in Woori America Bank, Woori Bank (Cambodia) PLC, Woori Global Markets Asia Limited, and overseas branch are hedged in USD denominated foreign currency bonds (Carrying amount as of March 31, 2025: USD 863,959,317) and mitigate foreign exchange risk arising from the net assets of subsidiaries. The debenture 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)

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, net income, return on equity (ROE), C/I ratio, 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of the liabilities related to the performance condition share-based payments recognized by the Group amounts to 65,342 million Won and 62,557 million Won, respectively, including the carrying amount of liabilities related to key management of 12,902 million Won and 16,660 million Won, respectively.

Responsible completion land trust is a trust in which the Woori Asset Trust Co., Ltd., subsidiary, is only liable to the lending financial institution for the completion guarantee obligation in case the contractor fails to fulfill the obligation. If the company is unable to fulfill the completion guarantee obligation, it is responsible for compensating the lending financial institution for any losses incurred.

 

(*2)

In redevelopment projects where the Korea Housing & Urban Guarantee Corporation guarantees project financing loans, the project operator is responsible for the completion guarantee obligation according to the standard project agreement terms of the Korea Housing & Urban Guarantee Corporation.

 

(*3)

Since the possibility and amount of loss cannot be reliably estimated, these impacts have not been reflected in the financial statements at the end of the current period.

 

(*4)

The trust account limit may be subject to change during the project progress due to reasons such as limit deductions.

 

  2)

As of March 31, 2025, Woori Asset Trust, a subsidiary, may lend a trust account for a part of the total project cost in relation to 33 debt-type land trust contracts including Boutique Terrace Hotel in Woo-dong, Haeundae-gu, Busan. The maximum loan amount (unused limit) is 140,406 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.

 

  3)

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.

 

  4)

Since FY2023, An investigation has been conducted by Fair Trade Commission regarding Loan-To-Value ratio. Woori Bank, a subsidiary cannot reasonably estimate its impact on consolidated financial statements.
