Insights

Shinhan Card posts lower 2025 profit but stronger cash flow.

Shinhan Card shows modest balance sheet stability with equity rising to W 8,499,882 million while total assets eased slightly. Profit declined to W 480,205 million as operating income fell, largely reflecting weaker fee and commission income.

Core earnings drivers were mixed: net interest income was broadly flat at W 1,947,497 million, but net fee and commission income dropped to W 586,111 million. Credit loss provisions of W 911,600 million remained close to 2024 levels, suggesting stable, though still meaningful, credit costs.

From a cash perspective, operating cash flow swung to an inflow of W 1,047,525 million, giving the business more financial flexibility despite lower earnings. Earnings per share of W 3,548 versus W 4,309 highlight profitability pressure that will be further detailed in subsequent disclosures and the shareholder approval process.

Independent Auditors’ Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of

Shinhan Card Co., Ltd.:

 

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Shinhan Card Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes, comprising of material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”).

 

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing (“KSAs”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in the Republic of Korea, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

 

 

Other Matter

 

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

 

 

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with K-IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

 

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with KSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

 

As part of an audit in accordance with KSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

 

 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Independent Auditors’ Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

 

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of

Shinhan Card Co., Ltd.:

 

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the separate financial statements of Shinhan Card Co., Ltd.(the “Company”), which comprise the separate statements of financial position as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the separate statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes, comprising of material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.

In our opinion, the accompanying separate financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the separate financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its separate financial performance and its separate cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”).

 

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing (“KSAs”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the separate financial statements in the Republic of Korea, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

 

 

Other Matter

 

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

 

 

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Separate Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate financial statements in accordance with K-IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the separate financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

 

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with KSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these separate financial statements.

 

As part of an audit in accordance with KSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used in the preparation of the separate financial statements and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the separate financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 

 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

SHINHAN CARD CO., LTD.

Notes to the Separate Financial Statements

As of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

 

1. Reporting Entity

 

Shinhan Card Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated on December 17, 1985. The address of the Company’s registered office is Eulji-Ro 100, Building A, Jung-Gu, Seoul (Pine Avenue Eulji-Ro 2 Ga). The Company provides credit card services, factoring, installment financing and lease financing under the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act.

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has approximately 20.42 million (actual member criteria) personal credit card holders, 1.97 million merchants in its network and 42 branch offices (including head office). The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Shinhan Financial Group Co., Ltd. (“Shinhan Financial Group”).

 

2. Basis of Preparation

 

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”), which are accounting standards adopted and promulgated by the International Accounting Standards Board as prescribed in Article 5-1-1 of the Act on External Audit of Stock Companies.

 

These financial statements are separate financial statements prepared in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1027, ‘Separate Financial Statements’ presented by a parent, an investor in an associate or a venture in a jointly controlled entity, in which the investments are accounted for on the basis of the direct equity interest rather than on the basis of the reported results and net assets of the investees.

 

The separate financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 4, 2026, which will be submitted for approval to the shareholder’s meeting to be held on March 25, 2026.

 

(a) Basis of measurement

 

The separate financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the following material items in the statements of financial position:

 

- Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value;

- Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value;

- Financial instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value;

- Liabilities recognized for cash-settled share-based payment; and

- Present value of liabilities recognized for defined benefit plans, net of the fair value of plan assets.

 

(b) Functional and presentation currency

Notes to the Separate Financial Statements (continued)

As of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

 

2. Basis of Preparation (continued)

 

(c) Use of estimates and judgements

 

The preparation of the separate financial statements in conformity with K-IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. If the estimates and assumptions based on management's best judgment as of December 31, 2025 are different from the actual environment, these estimates and actual results may be different.

 

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

 

Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have a significant effect on the amounts recognized in the separate financial statements and information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year are described in Note 5.

 

(d) Changes in accounting policies

 

Except for the following new accounting standards enacted or amended for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing January 1, 2025, the accounting policies applied by the Company in these separate financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its separate financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. There are other new standards applied from January 1, 2025, which does not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

(i) New and amended standards and interpretations adopted by the Company

 

The Company has applied the following new and amended accounting standards and new interpretations issued that are effective for the accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025.

The amendments require to assess whether a currency is exchangeable and, if exchange with other currencies is not possible, to estimate the spot exchange rate and disclose related information. The adoption of the amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s separate financial statements.

- Introduces additional disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income

 

2) K-IFRS Annual Improvements Volume 11

 

K-IFRS annual improvements Volume 11 are applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026 with earlier application permitted. There will be no material impact on the financial statements from these amendments.

Notes to the Separate Financial Statements (continued)

As of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

 

3. Material Accounting Policies

 

Material Accounting Policies applied by the Company in preparation of its separate financial statements are described below. The Company has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in these separate financial statements, except if mentioned otherwise in Note 2 (d).

 

(a) Investments in associates and subsidiaries in the separate financial statements

 

The separate financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1027, ‘Separate Financial Statements’. The Company applied the cost method in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1027 and methods in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1109, ‘Financial Instruments’ to investments in associates and subsidiaries. Dividend from investments in associates and subsidiaries is recognized in profit or loss when the right to receive the dividend is finalized.

 

(b) Cash and cash equivalents

 

They are short-term investment assets with high liquidity, such as cash balances, foreign currencies, and demand deposits, and short-term investment assets with a slight risk of value fluctuations are classified as cash and cash equivalents.

 

(c) Non-derivative financial assets

 

(i) Recognition and initial measurement

 

Issued debentures are initially recognized at the time of issue. Other financial instruments and financial liabilities are recognized only when the Company becomes a party to the contract for the financial instrument.

 

(ii) Classification and subsequent measurement

 

1) Financial asset: Business model

 

The Company assesses the objective of the business model held at the portfolio level of financial assets because it best reflects the way the business is managed, and information is provided to management. Such information takes into account for the following:

- The accounting policies and objectives specified for the portfolio and the actual operation of these policies. These include management's strategy focused on obtaining contractual interest revenue, maintaining the level of interest revenue, and financing the debt financing and matching the duration of the financial asset's duration and on the outflow or realization of expected cash flows through the sale of the asset;

- Assessment of the performance of financial assets held in a business model and reporting the assessment to key management personnel;

- The risks affecting the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held in the business model) and how they are managed;

- Compensation for management (e.g., compensation based on the fair value of the managed asset or on the contractual cash flows received); and

- The frequency, amount, timing, reasons and expectations of future sales activities of financial assets in prior periods.

 

For this purpose, transfers of financial assets from transactions that do not meet the derecognition requirements to third parties are not considered as sales.

 

A portfolio of financial assets that meets the definition of trading or whose performance measured at fair value through profit or loss.

SHINHAN CARD CO., LTD.

Notes to the Separate Financial Statements (continued)

As of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

 

3. Material Accounting Policies (continued)

 

(c) Non-derivative financial assets (continued)

 

(ii) Classification and subsequent measurement (continued)

 

2) Financial asset: Contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding

 

Principal amount is defined as the fair value on initial recognition of the financial asset. Interest consists of profit as well as consideration for the time value of money, consideration for the credit risk associated with the principal balance in a particular period, and consideration for other basic loan risks and costs (such as liquidity risk and operating costs).

 

In assessing whether contractual cash flows consist solely of principal and interest payments, the Company considers the terms and conditions of the instrument. If a financial asset contains a contractual term that changes the timing or amount of contractual cash flows, the entity must determine whether the contractual cash flows that may arise over the life of the financial instrument are solely payments of principal and interest.

 

To make an assessment, the Company considers the following:

- Contractual terms that change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows;

- Terms that adjust the contractual interest rate, including variable interest rate features;

- Prepayment features and extension features;

- Terms and conditions that limit the Company’s claims on cash flows arising from specific assets. (e.g., non-recourse features)

 

(iii) Offsetting

 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset only when the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

 

(d) Derivative financial assets

(i) Derivatives and Hedge Accounting

 

The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign exchange and interest rate exposures. If the host contract is not a financial asset and meets certain requirements, the embedded derivative is accounted for separately and separated from the host contract.

 

The Company designates specific derivatives and non-derivative financial liabilities as hedging instruments to hedge the variability of cash flows associated with future forecast transactions that are likely to arise from changes in exchange rates and interest rates, as the purpose of hedging exchange risk against net investments in foreign operations.

 

At the inception of the hedge, the Company documents the purpose and strategy of risk management to perform the hedge. The Company documents the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, including whether changes in the cash flows of the hedged item and the hedging instrument are expected to offset each other.

As of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

 

3. Material Accounting Policies (continued)

 

(d) Derivative financial assets (continued)

(ii) Cash flow hedge

 

The Company designates part of derivatives as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedging relationship. Part of derivatives are recognized as hedging costs in other comprehensive income and accumulate as separate items in equity.

 

(e) Fair value of financial instruments

 

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, could be exchanged, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction.

 

For financial instruments traded in active markets, the fair value of financial instruments is measured at quoted prices. A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis.

 

If the market for a financial instrument is not active, the Company establishes fair value by using a valuation technique. Valuation techniques include using recent arm’s length transactions between knowledgeable, willing parties, if available, reference to the current fair value of other instruments that are substantially the same. Fair value is estimated on the basis of the results of a valuation technique that makes maximum use of market inputs and relies as little as possible on entity-specific inputs. Periodically, the Company calibrates the valuation technique and tests it for validity using prices from any observable current market transactions in the same instrument or based on any available and observable market data.

 

The fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is normally the transaction price – i.e. the fair value of the consideration given or received. However, if part of the consideration given or received is for something other than the financial instrument, the fair value of the financial instrument is estimated, using a valuation technique. Any additional amount lent is an expense or a reduction of income unless it qualifies for recognition as some other type of asset.

 

The fair value of interest-free installment purchases (which is offered for marketing purpose to expand credit sales) is measured by using the discount rate considering the credit rating of the Company and the credit risk of customers. As the source of the yield and the purpose of customers using interest-free installment purchases are different from those of installment purchases with interest, the discount rate is calculated in that way.

 

(f) Impairment of financial assets

 

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on the following assets:

- Financial assets measured at amortized cost

- Debt securities measured at FVOCI

 

The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses “ECLs”, except for the following, which are measured as twelve-month ECLs:

- Financial instrument that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and

- Financial instrument for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

 

The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly when:

- Asset credit quality is cautionary or less

- Significant changes in credit rating occur; or

- Specified overdue pool segment (personal card receivables past due over seven days, etc.) incurs

3. Material Accounting Policies (continued)

 

(f) Impairment of financial assets (continued)

 

The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when:

- The financial asset is more than 90 days past due.

 

(i) Credit-impaired financial assets

 

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost are credit- impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

 

Evidence that financial assets are impaired includes the following observable information.

- Significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer

- Default or delinquency in interest or principal payments

- Restructuring of a loan or a concession granted by the Company, which the Company would not otherwise consider

- Indications that a borrower or issuer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization

- The disappearance of an active market for a security

- Observable data that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets, since the initial recognition of those assets, although individual cash flows cannot be discriminated

 

(ii) Presentation of impairment loss

 

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.

Debt securities that are measured at FVOCI are included in Current Profit and Loss, and also recognized in Other Comprehensive Income.

 

(iii) Write-off

 

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. The Company evaluates whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovering a financial asset based on historical experience of recoveries of similar assets. The Company expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

 

(g) Property and equipment

 

Among the items in property and equipment, land is not depreciated, and items of other property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives described below, which most closely reflect the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits implicated in the assets.

 

The estimated useful lives and depreciation methods of property and equipment are as follows:

(h) Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets are measured initially at cost and after initial recognition are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

 

Amortization of intangible assets except for goodwill is calculated on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use. The residual value of intangible assets is zero. However, as there are no foreseeable limits to the periods over which club memberships are expected to be available for use, this intangible asset is determined as having indefinite useful lives and not amortized.

(i) Leases

 

(i) Lessor

 

Where the Company is a lease provider, it classifies each lease as an operating lease and a financial lease. Lease income from operating leases where the Company is a lessor is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognized as expense over the lease term on the same basis as lease income. The respective leased assets are included in the statement of financial position based on their nature. In the case of financial leases, assets held under financial leases are recognized in the statement of financial position at the commencement of the lease, the assets are presented as receivables of the same amount as net lease investment, and financial returns are recognized over the lease period.

 

(ii) Lessee

 

Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. The Company allocates the consideration in the contract to the lease and non-lease components based on their relative stand-alone prices. However, for leases of real estate for which the Company is lessee, the Company applies the practical expedient which has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components and instead accounts for these as a single lease component.

 

Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.

 

The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both (a) periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and (b) periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. When the lessee and the lessor each has the right to terminate the lease without permission from the other party, the Company should consider a termination penalty in determining the period for which the contract is enforceable.

3. Material Accounting Policies (continued)

 

(i) Leases (continued)

 

(ii) Lessee (continued)

 

The lease payments shall be discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee shall use the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate, the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment.

 

To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Company:

- Where possible, uses recent third-party financing received by the individual lessee as a starting point, adjusted to reflect changes in financing conditions since third party financing was received

- Using a build-up approach that starts with a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk for leases held by a subsidiary of the Company, which does not have recent third-party financing

- Making adjustments specific to the lease, such as country, currency, guarantee and warranty.

 

If a readily observable amortizing loan rate is available to the individual lessee (through recent financing or market data) which has a similar payment profile to the lease, then the Company uses that rate as a starting point to determine the incremental borrowing rate.

 

The Company is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.

 

Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is recognized to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

 

The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the Company is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life. The Company did not choose to apply that revaluation model to buildings held by the Company that are presented in the right-of-use assets.

 

Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and vehicles and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Low-value assets comprise IT-equipment and small items of office furniture.

 

(j) Investment property

 

A property held for rental income or investment gains is classified as investment property. Investment property is measured at cost at initial recognition, and after initial recognition, it is presented as the accumulated depreciation and the accumulated impairment losses are deducted from the cost. Among properties, an investment property excluding land is depreciated with a straight-line method for 40 years of useful life.

 

(k) Non-derivative financial liabilities

 

The Company classifies financial liabilities based on the substance of the contractual agreement and the definition of a financial liability into financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other financial liabilities and recognize them on the Company financial statements when the Company becomes the party to the contractual agreement.

3. Material Accounting Policies (continued)

 

(l) Employee benefits

 

(i) Post-employment benefit plan

 

The Company has introduced and manages both a defined benefit pension plan and a defined contribution pension plan. Employees have a right to choose one of the pension plans.

Defined contribution plans are calculated annually by an independent accountant using the projected unit credit method.

 

(ii) Termination benefits

 

Termination benefits are expensed when the Company is committed demonstrably, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancy are expensed if the Company has made an offer of voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably. If benefits are payable more than 12 months following the reporting period, then they are discounted at present value.

 

(m) Provisions

 

The Company recognizes provisions related to litigations and unused credit commitments from credit card sales and cash services. Provisions for unused credit commitments from credit card sales and cash service are estimated using a valuation model that takes credit conversion factor, probability of default, and loss given default into account. In addition, when the Company bears the responsibility for restoration following the expiration of a rental contract, the Company recognizes the present value of the estimated restoration costs as a provision.

 

(n) Foreign currencies

 

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the closing exchange rates at the reporting date. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the dates when the fair values were determined, and non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rates at the transaction dates.

 

(o) Share-based payment transactions

 

Shinhan Financial Group, which is the parent company, has granted shares or share options to the Company’s employees. In accordance with a repayment arrangement with Shinhan Financial Group, the Company is required to pay Shinhan Financial Group for the provision of the share-based payments. The Company recognizes the costs as expenses and accrued expenses in liabilities for the service period. When vesting conditions are not satisfied because of death, retirement or dismissal of employees during the specified service period, no amount is recognized for goods or services received on a cumulative basis. Share-based payment agreements granted by Shinhan Financial Group to employees are accounted for as equity-settled share-based payment transactions, and share-based payment agreements granted by the Company to employees are accounted for as cash-settled share-based payment transactions, regardless of the repayment arrangement with Shinhan Financial Group.

3. Material Accounting Policies (continued)

 

(p) Revenue from contracts with customers (continued)

 

The Company recognizes fee income from cardholders and merchants on an accrual basis applying the following five steps: (1) Identify the contracts with the customers, (2) Identify the separate performance obligations, (3) Determine the transaction price of the contract, (4) Allocate the transaction price to each of the separate performance obligations, and (5) Recognize the revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. However, the Company recognizes fee income related to delinquent receivables, whose probability of future economic benefits is low, on a cash basis.

 

The fair value of the consideration received or receivable in respect of an initial sale is allocated to reward points (“points”) and other components of fee and commission income. The Company provides rewards in various forms including discounts on credit settlements and gifts. The amount allocated to points is estimated at the amount expected to be paid on points rewarded to cardholders in consideration of the expected redemption rate and is recognized as a deduction from the fee and commission income.

 

(q) Finance income and finance costs

 

The Company’s finance income and finance costs consist of:

- Interest income;

- Interest expense;

- Dividend income;

- Net income or loss on financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss;

- Foreign currency gain or loss on financial assets and financial liabilities;

- Net impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost;

- Remeasurement gains on acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value;

- Loss of changes in fair value of contingent consideration classified as a financial liability;

- Hedge ineffectiveness recognized in profit or loss; and

- Net gains or losses reclassified from other comprehensive income that were previously recognized in relation to cash flow hedge accounting for interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk on borrowings

 

Interest income or expense is recognized using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Company’s right to receive payment is established. In addition, handling fee income and incidental expenses related to loans are deferred and presented as a deduction from loan receivables. They are depreciated using the effective interest method during the loan period and recognized in income and expense.

 

When calculating interest income or interest expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset (if the asset is not credit-impaired) or to the amortized cost of the liability. However, for financial assets that subsequently have been credit-impaired since initial recognition, interest revenue is calculated by applying an effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. The Company calculates the interest revenue by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount if the financial asset is no longer credit impaired.

(r) Income taxes

 

Shinhan Financial Group, which is the parent company, files with the Korean tax authorities its national income tax return under the consolidated corporate tax system, which allows it to make national income tax payments based on the consolidated profits or losses of the Shinhan Financial Group and its domestic subsidiaries in which it holds 90% or more ownership including the Company. The Company recognizes a deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference; and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The Company recognizes a deferred tax asset for all deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, to the extent that, and only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future; and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.

 

Tax uncertainty arises from the Company’s claims for correction due to the complexity of transactions or differences in tax law interpretation, and refund lawsuits and tax investigations by tax authorities. Where the Company has paid tax according to K-IFRS 2123, and there is a highly probable of having a tax refund in the future, it will be recognized as corporate tax assets, and the amount expected to be paid as a result of tax audits will be recognized as corporate tax liabilities.

4. Financial Risk Management

 

(a) General information of risk management

 

The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

- Credit risk, Liquidity risk, Market risk

This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Company’s objectives, policies, and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Company’s management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements.

 

(i) Organization for risk management

 

Major decisions relating to risk management are made by the Risk Management Committee under the Board of Directors. To effectively implement the Risk Management Committee's determination and deliberation, the Company runs the Risk Management Council chaired by the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) and composed of all group heads, key division heads, and the head of the risk management department. In addition, to assist these two bodies, the Company has established a risk executive department that independently oversees and performs risk management functions.

 

Furthermore, the Company established a Credit Review Committee separately from the Risk Management Council to conduct credit evaluations of corporate customers with outstanding loans over a certain amount and other significant credit matters. The Credit Review Committee is chaired by the head of the Management Support Group and consists of relevant group heads, the CRO and the head of the corporate credit management department.

 

(ii) Risk management process

 

The Company measures credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk, and interest rate risk. The Company presents an acceptable level of risks before the establishment of an annual financial plan, and sets the upper growth limit as a guideline, which

considers available capital and risk capital. On the basis of organized financial plans in accordance with established guidelines, the Company organizes risk plans and sets risk limits, which encompass the Company’s entire risk appetite.

 

Risk limits are set on the basis of the risk capital in principle or set by the regulatory capital in case of absence of a risk capital calculation system. The Company manages total risk limits, risk limits for each type of risk and risk limits by product. If total risk exceeds 95% of its limit, the Company immediately reports the risk limits to the CRO of Shinhan Financial Group and to the Company Risk Management Committee. In case of risk limits for each type of risk, after consultation with the Shinhan Financial Group, it is adjustable by resolution of the Risk Management Committee within the range of total risk limits. In case of risk limits by product, after prepared countermeasures, it is adjustable by resolution of the Risk Management Council.

 

(iii) Risk monitoring

 

Risk Monitoring is performed by Shinhan Financial Group’s risk dashboard for early detection of risk, regular risk measurement and monitoring systems the Risk Management Council and Risk Management Committee, and the Enterprise Risk Management System. The Company performs weekly monitoring on short-term credit quality indicators and leading economic indicators.

 

1) Risk dashboard

 

The risk dashboard is a risk monitoring system to provide early detection and proactive response to portfolio risks and abnormal symptoms, and key monitoring targets of portfolios by business line and credit quality of members (credit ratings). It performs the pre-detection function on the risk factors such as increases in assets, and risks by each monitoring target. Regarding quantitative indicators such as increases in assets and increases in risks, the Company defines the determination level of risk detection by the statistical significance level. By regular monitoring, the risk management team together with relevant teams analyses the cause and prepares and implements a countermeasure.

(iii) Risk monitoring (continued)

 

2) Risk measurement and monitoring reporting

 

The Company regularly reports the overall results of risk measurement and monitoring to the Risk Management Council and Risk Management Committee. Regular monitoring items consist of operational status of risk limits (total / type / product), portfolio guidelines, levels of enterprise crisis, economic / market trends, detailed indicators of credit quality, and financing and liquidity risks.

 

(iv) Enterprise crisis management system

 

The Enterprise crisis management system consists of a series of response procedures by crisis level, including quantitative identification of crises through monitoring of crisis indicators, determination of enterprise-wide crisis levels based on quantitative assessments and impact analysis, establishment of action plans for each crisis level, and subsequent follow-up and review.

 

Internal and external crisis indicators for each of credit risk and liquidity risk are divided into core indicators, and leading indicators and the stage of crisis is determined quantitatively. Risk management working-level committee performs analysis of qualitative information and risk management council, consisting heads of departments decides whether to perform entity-wide impact analysis.

 

The enterprise crisis levels are determined by classifying internal and external assessment indicators into four categories – Stable, Caution, Alert, and Risk – and defining trigger points for each crisis level. Based on the comprehensive scoring of internal and external indicators, the Group-wide crisis stages are classified into six levels: Normal 1, Normal 2, Cautionary 1, Cautionary 2, Crisis Impending and Crisis.

 

Based on the assessment of crisis stage, appropriate action items for each crisis stage are set up and implemented. For the purpose of efficient operation of the Enterprise Crisis Management System, detailed roles and responsibilities for each organization are predefined. Crisis management organizations consist of a Risk management working-level committee which performs daily monitoring, risk management council, consisting heads of departments which is convened when the crisis stage is assessed as above the Cautionary 2 two times in succession. In addition, the Company has Risk Management Council and Crisis Management Council headed by the CEO, and Group Crisis Management Council headed by the CEO of the Shinhan Financial Group. These organizations and their detailed roles and responsibilities enable the Company to cope with crisis systematically.

 

(v) Evaluation process

 

The Company sets and operates the standards on credit card issuance pursuant to the standard of review for payment ability prescribed by the Regulation on Supervision of Specialized Credit Finance Business. If the basic qualification standards are not met, credit card issuance is prohibited. When standards are met, credit card issuance is possible only if the AS (Application Score) credit rating is above a certain degree, which is based on the Company’s internal information, external information from Credit Bureaus, and personal information in the application form. The Company prohibits higher-risk customers from being issued a credit card by using supplementary information such as overdue history and Credit Bureaus’ credit ratings.

(a) General information of risk management (continued)

 

(v) Evaluation process (continued)

 

The Company utilizes customer transaction records with Shinhan Financial Group’s subsidiaries, internal or external credit information, and characteristics of each customer group to improve its assessment functions on credit card issuance for new customers. The Company performs various kinds of simulations to cope with the changes in surroundings such as market conditions and economic trends so that the Company is able to predict the potential risk of certain customer groups and establish the management policy for higher-risk groups.

 

The Company determines an optimized credit limit for new credit card holders according to their payment ability by considering occupation, income, property, debt, and transaction records with Shinhan Financial Group’s subsidiaries. The Company operates a management system which enables the Company to monitor the changes in risk and prevent high-risk groups from being credit card holders by monitoring monthly indicators.

 

(vi) Credit Scoring System

 

The Company’s Credit Scoring System consists of ASS (Application Scoring System) and BSS (Behavioural Scoring System). BS (Behavioural Score) evaluates the credit card holder’s credit quality regularly. Credit card AS (Application Score) evaluates potential credit card holder’s credit quality when they apply for credit card issuance. Card loan AS and installment AS evaluate potential customers’ credit quality. The Company utilizes the Credit Scoring System in order to monitor its customers’ and portfolios’ risk exposures.

 

AS is mainly based on the application form information, and BS is based on history information such as card use and payment after issuing a card. Common use information is calculated by using internal information such as payment ability, assets, period of use of our company, financial institution transaction details of applicants, external information such as credit rating agencies (NICE, KCB), and banking association.

 

AS application work is approved if the applicant's credit rating is above a certain score and does not correspond to the policy refusal reason such as delinquency of other card companies. Additionally, for applicants who are long-term customers of Shinhan Financial Group and have excellent creditworthiness, separate screening criteria are applied. In addition, the Company uses the elements of credit rating as the basis for setting the limit when issuing cards. The monthly recalculated BS predicts the delinquency probability of card members, and the Company uses it to monitor members and monitor portfolio risk exposures.

 

(b) Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers and investment securities. The Company complies with credit risk management procedures pursuant to internal guidelines and regulations and continually monitors and improves these guidelines and regulations. Application of credit risk management includes not only all the transactions in these financial statements but also off balance items such as guarantees, loan agreements and derivatives transactions that could possibly generate economic loss. The Company assesses credit risks of those transactions and sets a limit on expected credit risks in advance.

 

The Company estimates credit risks of financial instruments using PD (Probability of Default), LGD (Loss Given Default), and EAD (Exposure at Default) utilizing the risk estimation methodology of Basel. The Company applies the Basel basis conservatively to reflect the credit card crisis of 2003 and the nature of the credit card business. Credit risks of derivatives, due from banks and securities are assessed using the modified standard methodology of Basel. Credit risks are divided into respective business segments and merchandise segments, and the Company sets limits for each segment, which are monitored by the risk control process, and established an action plan in case that credit risks get close to, or exceed limits.

(v) Reflection of forward-looking information

 

The Company reflects the forward-looking information presented by the internal expert group based on various information when measuring expected credit losses. For the purpose of forecasting this forward-looking information, the Company utilizes the economic prospects disclosed by domestic and overseas research institutes or government and public institutions.

 

The Company reflects the future macroeconomic situation reflecting the weights calculated by the Company in the measurement of expected loss. The expected loss in this respect reflects the most likely outcome and is based on the same assumptions as the Company estimates based on its business plan and management strategy.

 

The Company analysed data from the past to derive correlations between major macroeconomic variables and credit risk necessary for predicting credit risk and credit loss for each portfolio, and then reflected forward-looking information through regression equation estimation. To reflect the uncertain economic situation, the Company reviewed three scenarios: upside, central and downside, and reflected the final forward-looking information.

Major macroeconomic variables (*)

Correlation between credit risks

GDP

Negative correlation

Government consumption

Negative correlation

Facility investment

Negative correlation

Apartment sales transaction price index (Seoul)

Negative correlation

Government bond 3y yields (%)

Negative correlation

Government bond 10y yields (%)

Negative correlation

KRW/USD exchange rate

Positive correlation

 

(*) In addition to the above table, the forecast for the composite stock index was additionally selected.

 

The predicted correlation between the macroeconomic variables used by the Company and the risk of default is derived based on long-term data over the past 10 years.

 

When estimating the default rate considering future economic prospects, the recent actual default rate is an important reference. Although various economic indicators deteriorated, the actual measurement default rate of the Company is being maintained stably.

 

The Company has considered multiple economic scenarios in applying forward-looking information for measuring expected credit loss. If the weight of the upside, central, and downside scenarios is assumed to be 100% with all other assumptions held constant the sensitivity analysis according to the impact on the Company's expected credit loss provision is as follows.

4. Financial Risk Management (continued)

 

(c) Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk could be caused by maturity mismatch of financial assets and liabilities, or temporary insolvency by unexpected cash outflows. It includes economic losses that the Company will incur in the process of financing high interest rates or disposing of invested assets in order to meet its obligations. The Company manages liquidity risk by considering all liquidity variation factors that can cause cash inflows and outflows.

 

The Company sets the goal of “month-end liquidity” as the liquidity level at which the Company could pay its obligations in the next three months. Real liquidity gap ratio of maturity of financial assets and liabilities, liquidity buffer ratio, and ABS to borrowings ratio are major indices of liquidity risks monitored by the Company, defined as cautious, apprehensive, and risky. The Company has prepared contingency plans for various liquidity crises.

 

(i) Maturity analysis of non-derivative financial instruments

 

The maturity analysis for non-derivative financial assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows: Such undiscounted contractual cash flows differ from the discounted amount included in the separate statements of financial position, as they include estimated interest payments.

 

The Company expects that there would be no significant changes in the timing of cash flows.

4. Financial Risk Management (continued)

 

(d) Market risk

 

Market risk from trading positions is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk of financial assets and liabilities in the case of non-trading assets and interest rate risk of MMF (Money Market Fund) in the case of trading assets and only foreign exchange rate risk of foreign currency deposits because the Company hedges 100% cash flows of foreign currency liabilities with currency rate swaps. Stock price risk is exposed only to equity securities denominated in KRW among equity securities.

 

The Company assesses risks of expected transactions and sets up limits to control market risks to the extent that the Company can handle. The Company assessed market risks on the basis of the Basel standard methodology and the Historical VaR (Value at Risk) method, established risk limits respectively, monitored, and established an action plan in case that market risks get close to, or exceed limits.

 

(i) Market risk management from trading positions

 

The Company assessed market risk from trading positions using the standard methodology of Financial Supervisory Service. At the end of the current and prior periods, assets exposed to market risk are classified as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVPTL). Market risk is measured by calculating the valuation amount of these assets and applying the required regulatory capital weighting. The following represents the Company’s assessment of its potential loss in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 that are exposed to the respective risks:

(d) Market risk (continued)

 

(ii) VaR and EaR management from non-trading positions

 

1)
Interest rate risk from non-trading positions

 

The principal market risk from non-trading activities of the Company is interest rate risk. The Company makes an effort to minimize variations of net assets and profit by assessing and controlling interest rate risk of non-trading positions. Interest rate VaR and EaR, to which real interest rate variations of assets and liabilities are applied, are used to assess interest rate risk.

Interest rate VaR estimates, at a 99.9% confidence level, the expected maximum loss assuming a one-year holding period. The Company calculates the Interest rate VaR using an internal model which has been designed to apply historical interest rate scenarios provided by accompanying net asset value simulations due to interest rate changes.

 

Interest rate EaR (Earning at Risk) is the maximum expected loss of net interest income within the next year due to negative variations of interest rates. Interest rate EaR is computed using interest rate repricing gap, differences between expected interest rate variation timing and target period (one year) and expected interest rate variation, and also applied interest rate variation timing for each maturity level and interest rate shock (200bp) were suggested by Basel. However, interest rate shock was not applied for financial assets with low sensitivity from a conservative point of view.

 

Interest rate VaR and EaR of non-trading positions as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

 

 

 

2025

 

2024

Interest rate VaR

819,386

 

990,898

Interest rate EaR

 

584,052

 

598,588

 

2)
Equity price risk and foreign exchange rate risk from non-trading positions

 

The Company assessed equity price risk and foreign exchange rate risk from foreign currency equity securities of non-trading positions using the Historical VaR method. Assuming that asset returns are possible in case of crisis, historical VaR of the equity price and foreign currency rate is calculated at bottom 99% of 10 day holding period volatility for one year (250 trading days) in reporting date. Total VaR is calculated assuming that equity price risk and foreign exchange rate risk occur at the same time. Variance effect is calculated based on the difference between the total VaR and the sum of price risk and foreign exchange rate risk.

 

The Company does not have any non-trading positions that are exposed to equity risk and foreign exchange rate risk.

4. Financial Risk Management (continued)

 

(e) Capital risk management

 

The Company has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. By maintaining an optimal capital structure, the Company’s objective is to control its financial risks, enhance its safety and soundness, stabilize the financial system, and advance the Company’s credit standing.

 

The Company operates the credit card business under the Specialized Credit Finance Business Act. Accordingly, the Company should obey the Regulations on Supervision of Specialized Credit Finance Business. The regulations require the Company to maintain an adjusted equity capital ratio of more than 8%. Adjusted total assets and adjusted equity capital for the ratio are based on the separate statements of financial position and adjusted by the regulation that considered standards of the Bank for International Settlements and the nature of credit card business. The Company observes ratios of adjusted equity capital requirements regulated by the Specialized Credit Finance Business and the Company complied with the regulatory requirement for the adjusted equity capital ratio.

 

5. Significant Estimates and Judgments

 

The preparation of financial statements requires the application of certain critical estimates and judgments relative to the future. These critical estimates and judgments are assessed continually based on the elements like historical experiences and reasonably predictable future events under current conditions. Management’s estimated outcomes may differ from actual outcomes.

 

Information about judgments on accounting assumptions and estimates, including significant risk that may result in a material adjustment in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within the financial year are included in the following notes.

 

(a) Valuation of financial instruments

 

The fair values of financial instruments which are not actively traded in the market are determined by using valuation techniques. The Company determines valuation methods and assumptions based on significant market conditions at the end of each reporting period. Diverse valuation techniques are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments, from generally accepted valuation models in the market to internally developed valuation model that incorporates various types of assumptions and variables.

 

(b) Allowance for credit losses

 

(i) Individually assessed loan allowance

 

In assessing individual impairment, it is based on the best estimation of the Company’s management about the present value of estimated future cash flows of secured financial assets. The present value is calculated by including cash flows from collateral after deducting costs to acquire and sell the collateral, regardless of probability of realization of such collateral.

 

(ii) Collectively assessed loan allowance

 

Collective loss allowances are measured using estimation models based on historical loss experience in order to assess the expected credit losses embedded in portfolios. These models consider various factors, including product and borrower types, credit ratings, outstanding balances by maturity, whether there has been a significant deterioration in credit quality, expected remaining life, and recovery periods, and apply probabilities of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) for each asset (or group of assets). In addition, certain assumptions are applied to model inherent losses and to determine input variables based on past experience and current conditions. The methodologies and assumptions underlying these models are reviewed regularly to reduce differences between estimated loss allowances and actual losses.

5. Significant Estimates and Judgments (continued)

 

(c) Qualifying hedge relationships

 

In designating financial instruments in qualifying hedge relationships, the Company has determined that it expects the hedges to be highly effective over the period of the hedging relationship. In accounting for derivatives as cash flow hedges, the Company has determined that the hedged cash flow exposure relates to highly probable future cash flows.

 

(d) Net defined benefit obligations

 

The present value of a defined benefit obligation that is measured by actuarial valuation methods uses various assumptions which can change according to various elements. These assumptions, including the discount rate, are integral to determining the net cost (or gain) of pension benefits. Changes in these assumptions can significantly affect the carrying amount of the defined benefit obligation.

 

The Company determines an appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This discount rate represents the interest rate to be used in determining the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to arise from the settlement of defined benefit obligations. The Company determines the discount rate by reference to the yields on high-quality corporate bonds denominated in the currency in which the benefits are to be paid and with maturities consistent with the term of the related defined benefit obligations.

 

(e) Income taxes

 

Within the normal business process, there are various types of transactions and different accounting methods that may add uncertainties to the realizability of tax assets. The Company has recognized current and deferred taxes that reflect tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the entity expects, at the end of the reporting year, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. However, actual income tax in the future may not be identical to the recognized deferred tax assets and liabilities, and this difference can affect current and deferred taxes at the year when the final tax effect is conformed.

6. Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments

 

The Company primarily uses the published price quotations in an active market for measurement of the fair value of financial instruments. If the market for a financial instrument is not active, fair value is established either by using a valuation technique or an independent third-party valuation service.

 

The Company uses diverse valuation techniques under reasonable assumptions which are based on the observable inputs in markets at the end of each reporting period.

 

Valuation techniques include using the recent arm’s length market transactions between knowledgeable, willing parties, if available, reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models.

 

The Company measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements:

 

- Quoted market price (unadjusted) in an active market for an identical instrument (Level 1)

- Valuation techniques based on observable inputs, either directly or indirectly (Level 2)

- Valuation techniques using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)

 

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustments based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a Level 3 measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.

6. Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments (continued)

 

(a) Financial instruments measured at fair value

 

(i) Fair value measurement methods of financial instruments that are measured at fair value are as follows:

 

 

 

Fair value measurement methods

 

 

 

Financial assets at FVTPL

 

In case that the market of a financial instrument is active, fair value is established at the closing quoted price as of the last day for the reporting period. Fair value of debt securities which are not quoted in an active market are determined at the amount which is present value of the future cash flow estimated reasonably discounted by the rate considering the counterparty’s credit risk. Equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value are not reliably measurable are measured at cost as an estimate of fair value.

 

 

 

Derivative assets

 

In case that the market of a financial instrument is active, fair value is established at the closing quoted price as of the last day for the reporting period. If the market is not active, fair value is determined at the amount which is present value of the future cash flow reasonably estimated considering the counterparty’s credit risk and discounted by the appropriate rate such as a risk-free rate. If observable market data for the valuation is not available enough, the valuation result of the qualified external institutes is used as fair value.

 

 

 

Financial assets at FVOCI

 

In case that the market of a financial instrument is active, fair value is established at the closing quoted price at the last day for the reporting period. Fair value of equity securities which are not quoted in an active market are measured by the valuation model of independent and professional institutes using reliable data. Equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair values are not reliably measurable are measured at cost as an estimate of fair value.

(b) Financial instruments measured at amortized cost

(i) The methods of measuring the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost are as follows:

 

 

 

Fair value measurement methods

Cash and due from banks

 

Carrying amount of cash is the same as fair value. Carrying amount (matured within three months at acquisition date) is used as approximation of fair value for cash equivalents. Fair value of other due from banks is present value of expected cash flows discounted by the rate considering market interest rate and spread.

 

 

 

Credit card receivables at amortized

 cost and other

 

Fair value of credit card receivables measured at amortized cost and other is present value of expected cash flows discounted by the rate considering market interest rate and counterparty’s credit ratings. However, carrying amount is used as approximation of fair value for credit card receivables for lump-sum purchase and cash advances which contractual credit period granted is less than three months.

 

 

 

Other financial assets

 

Fair value of other financial assets is present value of expected cash flows discounted by the rate considering market interest rate and counterparty’s credit ratings. However, carrying amount is used as approximation of fair value for other financial assets when reliable expected cash flow is not available.

 

 

 

Borrowings

 

Fair value of borrowings is the present value of expected cash flows discounted by the rate considering market interest rate and the Company’s credit ratings.

 

 

 

Debentures

 

Where the market of a financial instrument is active, fair value is established at the quoted price. Fair value of debentures which quoted market price is not available is determined to be the present value of contractual cash flows discounted by the rate considering market interest rate and the Company’s credit ratings.

 

 

 

Other financial liabilities

 

Fair value of other financial liabilities is determined to be the present value of contractual cash flows discounted by the rate considering market interest rate and the Company’s credit ratings. Carrying amount is used as approximation of fair value of liabilities when reliable expected cash flows are not available.

(d) Hedging

 

(i) Purpose of hedging and strategies

 

The Company is trading derivatives to avoid interest rate risk and exchange risk arising from the assets and liabilities. The Company applies cash flow hedge accounting using interest rate swaps and currency swaps to avoid the risk of fluctuations in cash flows of borrowing liabilities and bonds in won, and bonds in foreign currency due to market interest rates and exchange rate fluctuations.

39. Income Taxes (continued)

 

(h) Following the enactment of legislation related to the Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) Rules, the Group is obligated to pay a top-up tax equal to the difference between the effective tax rate and the minimum rate of 15% in each jurisdiction in which its constituent entities are located, to the extent that the jurisdictional effective tax rate falls below 15%. The Group has assessed the impact of the GloBE rules in accordance with the relevant legislation and has determined that no significant amount of top-up tax is expected to arise, as most constituent entities meet the transitional safe harbor requirements or have effective tax rates exceeding 15%.

 

Income tax expense related to the GloBE rules is subject to estimation uncertainty due to potential variability arising from various factors, including tax incentives received by permanent establishments and adjustments to accounting net profit or loss required under the legislation for the calculation of GloBE income in subsequent periods. In addition, the Group applies the temporary exception to the recognition and disclosure of deferred tax assets and liabilities under K-IFRS 1012, and therefore does not recognize deferred tax assets or liabilities related to the GloBE rules, nor does it disclose information related thereto.

41. Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

 

(a) Contingent liabilities

 

The Company has 42 pending lawsuits as a defendant including collection of overdue credit card receivables as of December 31, 2025 for a total claim amount of W11,131 million.

 

A legal provision of W27 million is recognized in the accompanying financial statements for expected loss due to lost litigation cases.

 

Additional losses may be incurred from these legal actions. However, the result of such lawsuits cannot be predicted. Management believes that the result of the lawsuits would not have significant impact on the separate financial statements.

 

(b) ABS (Asset-Backed Securities) commitments

 

In trust-type asset securitizations, trust company can demand the Company to transfer additional assets if the transferred assets are below the agreed minimum amount. As prescribed by the respective asset transfer agreements and other contracts, the Company has an obligation to early redeem the asset-backed securities in certain cases, such as when outstanding balance of securitized assets falls below the agreed amount at each settlement period or when portfolio profitability ratio is less than primary cost ratio for three consecutive settlement periods. Investor Interest based on transferred assets is provided as collateral for asset-backed securities. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has no additional obligation for the asset-backed securities.

Independent Auditors’ Review Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

(Based on a report originally issued in Korean)

 

To the Shareholder and Board of Directors of

Shinhan Card Co., Ltd.

 

We have reviewed the accompanying Internal Controls over Financial Reporting Operating Status Report (the “ICFR Report”) of Shinhan Card Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025. The Company's management is responsible for designing and maintaining effective ICFR and for its assessment of the effectiveness of ICFR. Our responsibility is to review management's assessment and issue a report based on our review. In the accompanying report of management’s assessment of ICFR, it is stated that: “Based on our assessment, we concluded that the Company’s ICFR is designed and operated effectively as of December 31, 2025 in all material respects, in accordance with the ‘Conceptual Framework for Designing and Operating Internal Control over Financial Reporting’.”

 

We conducted our review in accordance with ICFR Review Standards issued by the Korean Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform the review to obtain assurance of a level less than that of an audit as to whether the Company’s ICFR Report is free of material misstatement. Our review consists principally of obtaining an understanding of the Company’s ICFR, inquiries of company personnel about the details of the report, and tracing to related documents we considered necessary in the circumstances.

 

A Company's ICFR is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”). A Company's ICFR includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company, (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with K-IFRS, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, ICFR may not prevent or detect material misstatements in the financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Based on our review of the Company’s ICFR Report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the ICFR Report as of December 31, 2025 is not prepared in all material respects, in accordance with the Standards for Evaluating and Reporting of ICFR.

 

This report applies to the Company’s ICFR in existence as of December 31, 2025. We did not review the Company’s ICFR subsequent to December 31, 2025. This report has been prepared for Korean regulatory purposes, pursuant to the Act on External Audit of Stock Companies, Etc. and may not be appropriate for other purposes or for other users.
