Dividends

KB Financial Group maintains a progressive dividend policy and aims to increase its payout ratio to 30% in the mid- to long-term. With regard to the acquisition and cancellation of treasury shares, KB Financial Group plans to consider using treasury shares in its capital policy to improve shareholder return once market uncertainties, including those related to COVID-19, have been alleviated.

Although KB Financial Group has continued to increase its payout ratio, for example, from 24.8% in 2018 to 26% in 2019, it has decided on a payout ratio of 20% in 2020 based on the Financial Services Commission’s recommendation to temporarily limit the payout ratio to 20% in consideration of uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic. While KB Financial Group’s dividend policy in 2020 was inevitably affected by COVID-19, it will continue to strive to improve its shareholder value by pursuing various shareholder return policies, including a progressive dividend policy and the acquisition and/or cancellation of its treasury shares.

Jong Kyoo Yoon    Earned income    Salary      800      A monthly salary was paid in even installments each month in accordance with the amount of annual salary determined by a resolution of the Evaluation and Compensation Committee within the limit of the total amount of compensation approved at the shareholders’ meeting. (This amount includes allowances for business expenses of Won 350 million.)
     

Bonus

     1,857     

The bonus paid in 2020 consisted of Won 507 million in short-term performance-based compensation and Won 1,350 million in long-term performance-based compensation.

 

The short-term performance-based compensation consisted of Won 160 million paid as an upfront lump sum payment pursuant to a performance evaluation from January 1, 2020 to November 20, 2020, Won 178 million paid as an upfront lump sum payment pursuant to a performance evaluation in 2019, Won 85 million (1,883 shares) paid as the second installment of deferred payments pursuant to a performance evaluation in 2018 and Won 84 million (1,870 shares) paid as the first installment of deferred payments pursuant to a performance evaluation in 2019.

 

The short-term performance evaluation index for 2019 consisted of financial results (e.g., ROE, total operating income, CIR, real NPL ratio, Tier 1 ratio, net increase in the number of cross-selling customers among subsidiaries) as well as non-financial results (e.g., strengthening the overall position of the company by improving the core competitiveness of the Company, implementing the “One-Firm KB” policy by innovating the Company’s business infrastructure).

With respect to financial results, the Company’s net profit for 2019 increased 8.2% YoY to Won 3,312 billion partially due to a solid growth in net interest income and net fee and commission income. Improvements in asset quality (improvement in real NPL ratio from 1.01% in 2018 to 0.90% in 2019) and the strengthening of risk management abilities, as demonstrated by loan growth in prime assets (an increase in loan balance from Won 257 trillion in 2018 to Won 269 trillion in 2019, 4.5% growth YoY), were considered, among others, to be major achievements reflected in the performance evaluation.

 

With respect to non-financial results, the major achievements considered included (i) securing a competitive advantage in the Company’s wealth management, corporate and investment banking and capital market businesses, (ii) enhancing the Company’s competitive edge by expanding into global markets, and (iii) reinforcing the “One-Firm KB” policy through key improvements in human resources and operational management, digital channel capabilities and the Company’s overall sales network.
