Positive
  • Consolidated net profit of KRW 3,094 billion for 1H 2025 reported on a consolidated basis
  • Preliminary BIS ratio of 16.20%, indicating capital adequacy above regulatory minimums
  • Multiple debenture issuances rated AAA by domestic rating agencies
  • Board resolution for KRW 800 billion treasury stock acquisition and cancellation and a quarterly cash dividend of KRW 570 per share
Negative
  • Provision for credit loss of KRW 1,065 billion recorded in 1H 2025
  • Substandard & Below loans ratio increased to 0.84% and NPL ratio rose to 0.69%
  • Cash dividend yield for the reporting period of 1.66% (lower than FY2024 and FY2023 yields presented)
  • Group ownership in Jeju Bank fell to 64.01% following a third-party capital increase

Insights

TL;DR: Profitability, capital and liquidity appear solid; management authorized a meaningful buyback and a quarterly dividend.

The 1H 2025 consolidated net profit of KRW 3,094bn and a preliminary BIS ratio of 16.20% indicate capital adequacy above regulatory minima. Liquidity metrics for Shinhan Bank (LCR ~104.8%) and strong domestic credit ratings for debentures (multiple AAA actions) support funding strength. The board-approved KRW 800bn treasury buyback and the quarterly dividend of KRW 570 per share are shareholder-return actions that are likely accretive to per-share metrics if executed.

TL;DR: Asset-quality deterioration and provisions warrant monitoring despite healthy capital and liquidity.

Provision for credit loss of KRW 1,065bn in 1H 2025, an increase in Substandard & Below loans to 0.84% (from 0.79%) and NPLs of KRW 3,151bn (NPL ratio 0.69%) suggest rising credit costs. Some insurance solvency ratios (eg, Shinhan Life K-ICS preliminary 196.7) moved lower versus prior periods. The Jeju Bank stake reduction to 64.01% following a third-party capital increase is a notable change in group ownership structure. These items moderate the positive credit/capital picture.

Salary

425

The salary is paid monthly by dividing the total annual base salary and job allowance, which are determined by the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee, within the compensation limit for directors resolved at the general shareholders' meeting. This determination takes into account factors such as position, duties, and contributions.

 

 

 

Bonus

446

The bonus was paid in the first quarter of 2025 in the amount of KRW 446 million, based on the annual performance evaluation results of the company and the criteria set by the first Remuneration Committee of 2024.

 

The CEO’s annual performance bonus is determined by reflecting the performance evaluation grade, which is based on Group KPIs and strategic task scores. The final payment is made after confirming any deductions based on the company’s risk management evaluation score.

 

In evaluating Group KPIs, the achievement rates of quantitative indicators such as total shareholder return, group customer base, ROE, Real NPL ratio, ROTCE, RAROC, and cost-to-income ratio are considered.

 

In evaluating strategic tasks, factors such as customer base expansion through SOL Travel Check, HeyYoung Campus, and securities IPOs; solid growth in global business; successful achievement of ESG goals including green finance and financed emissions; and strengthening of the group’s internal control system through the submission of the financial sector’s first accountability structure and implementation management system were reflected.

Bonus

529

The bonuses consist of the 2024 annual performance bonus of KRW 187 million and the long-term performance-based compensation (PS) of KRW 342 million granted in 2021. The 2024 annual performance bonus was paid in the first quarter of 2025, reflecting the company and individual performance evaluation results based on the criteria set by the first Remuneration Committee in 2024.

The long-term performance-based compensation (PS) granted in 2021 was paid in the first quarter of 2025, based on the company’s performance over the four years following the grant and the Shinhan Financial Group’s reference stock price at the beginning of 2025, in accordance with the criteria set by the first Remuneration Committee in 2021.

 

The 2024 annual performance bonus amount was determined by evaluating both quantitative and non-quantitative indicators. Quantitative indicators included shareholder value (Total Shareholder Return), profitability (ROE, ROTCE), soundness (ratio of substandard and below loans), risk (RAROC), and efficiency (cost-to-income ratio). Non-quantitative indicators included strategic tasks such as building a competency model reflecting the characteristics of each group company, promoting New HR initiatives for innovation and challenge, and differentiating customer experience to expand the future customer base.

The final bonus amount was calculated based on the performance evaluation grade, achievement rate of company performance targets, absolute profit scale compared to previous years, and the evaluation score of the company’s risk management tasks.

 

The long-term performance-based compensation (PS) granted in 2021 was calculated by multiplying the number of PS units determined based on quantitative indicators such as shareholder value, profitability, and soundness over the four years following the grant, and the absolute profit scale compared to previous years by the Shinhan Financial Group’s reference stock price at the beginning of 2025.
