Shinhan Life (NYSE: SHG) posts 2025 profit but equity declines

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Shinhan Financial Group submitted audited 2025 consolidated financial statements for its wholly owned life insurance subsidiary, Shinhan Life Insurance Co., Ltd., prepared under K-IFRS. The auditors issued an unqualified opinion.

Shinhan Life reported total assets of W 59,661,505 million and total liabilities of W 53,455,107 million as of December 31, 2025, with equity of W 6,206,398 million, down from W 7,040,701 million a year earlier after hybrid bond redemption and dividends. Profit for the period was W 507,708 million versus W 528,401 million in 2024, but total other comprehensive loss of W 657,050 million led to a total comprehensive loss of W 149,342 million.

Operating profit rose to W 791,988 million from W 725,082 million, while net cash inflow from operating activities increased sharply to W 1,339,375 million from W 370,727 million. The group redeemed W 300,000 million of hybrid bonds, issued W 498,594 million of debentures, and paid W 378,307 million in dividends.

Insights

Bank and insurance sector analyst

Audited 2025 profit remains solid, but equity is pressured by market-driven OCI losses.

Shinhan Life delivered stable core performance in 2025 with operating profit of W 791,988 million, up from W 725,082 million. Insurance revenue and reinsurance revenue grew, supporting an insurance service result of W 694,935 million, modestly higher than 2024.

Bottom-line profit slipped to W 507,708 million from W 528,401 million as income tax expense rose to W 280,406 million. Equity fell to W 6,206,398 million, driven mainly by a larger accumulated other comprehensive loss of W (2,116,963 million), reflecting valuation swings in securities and hedging positions under Korean IFRS.

From a cash perspective, net cash inflow from operating activities improved strongly to W 1,339,375 million, while investing and financing activities saw outflows tied to portfolio repositioning, hybrid bond redemption of W 300,000 million, new debentures of W 498,594 million, and dividends of W 378,307 million. Subsequent filings may clarify how these trends evolve in future periods.

Independent Auditors’ Report

(Based on a report originally issued in Korean)

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder

Shinhan Life Insurance Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Shinhan Life Insurance 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 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.

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.

3

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.

•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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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

2. Basis of preparation

(a) Statement of compliance

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“Korean IFRS” or “K-IFRS”), as prescribed in the Article 5(1)1 of Act on External Audit of Stock Companies.

(b) Date of authorization

The consolidated financial statements of the Group were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 5, 2026, and the consolidated financial statements will be submitted for the final approval to the shareholder’s meeting on March 26, 2026.

(c) Basis of measurement

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

-derivative financial instruments measured at fair value

-financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss measured at fair value

-securities at fair value through other comprehensive income measured at fair value

-liabilities for cash-settled share-based payment arrangements measured at fair value

-net defined benefit liability (asset) recognized at the net of the present value of defined benefit obligations less the fair value of plan assets

-insurance and reinsurance contract assets and liabilities measured at the fulfilment cash flows

(d) Functional and presentation currency

The respective financial statements of the Group entities are prepared in the functional currency of the respective economic environment in which the Group entities operate. The consolidated financial statements of the Group are presented and reported in won, which is the controlling company’s functional currency and the presentation currency.

(e) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of the consolidated 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.

i) Uncertainty in assumptions and estimates

Accounting estimates and assumptions that include significant risks that may incur significant adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities accounted for as of the end of the reporting period are as follows and are disclosed in Notes 10.

-Fair value of financial instruments

-Provision for credit loss and allowance for unused credit commitments

-Impairment of non-financial assets

-Defined benefit obligations

-Insurance contract liabilities and reinsurance contract assets(liabilities)

2. Basis of preparation (continued)

(e) Use of estimates and judgements (continued)

ii) Fair value measurement

The accounting policies and disclosures of the Group require fair value measurement for a number of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities, and thus, the Group establishes the fair value assessment policies and procedures. These policies and procedures involve the operation of the valuation department, which is responsible for the review of all significant fair value measurements, including fair values, which are classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, and the results are reported to the chief financial officer.

The valuation department regularly reviews significant inputs and adjustments that are not observable. If the fair value measurement uses third-party information, such as broker's price or valuation agency, the valuation department determines whether an assessment based on information obtained from third parties can conclude that the fair value hierarchy includes classifications by level and meets the requirements of the related Standard.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses as much market observable inputs as possible. Fair value is classified within the fair value hierarchy based on inputs used in valuation techniques as follows:

- Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets accessible to the same assets or liabilities at the

measurement date

- Level 2: Observable inputs, directly or indirectly, on assets or liabilities other than Level 1 quoted prices

- Level 3: Unobservable inputs to assets or liabilities

If several inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability are classified at different levels within the fair value hierarchy, the Group classifies all fair value measurements at the same level as the lowest level inputs in the fair value hierarchy, and a change in the fair value hierarchy is recognized at the end of the reporting period.

Detailed information on the assumptions used in fair value measurements is included in Note 8.

(f) New and amended Korean IFRSs and new interpretations adopted by the Group

The Group 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.

i) Amendments to Korean IFRS 1021 ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates’ – Lack of exchangeability

The amendments define scenarios where exchanges with other currencies are considered possible for accounting purposes, clarify the assessment of exchangeability with other currencies, and specify requirements for estimating and disclosing the spot exchange rate in cases where no exchangeability exists. If exchange with other currencies is not possible, the spot exchange rate must be estimated on the measurement date using observable exchange rates without adjustment or employing alternative estimation techniques. The adoption of the amendments did not have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

ii) Amendments to Korean IFRS 1117 ‘Insurance Contract’

The amendments add a disclosure requirement for entities to disclose, where the techniques to estimate the inputs used for measuring insurance contracts differ from those prescribed under insurance-related laws or regulations and such differences are considered relevant and material to users of the financial statements, those differences and their effects on the financial statements. The adoption of the amendments did not have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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

3. Material accounting policies

Except for the new and amended accounting standards and new interpretations issued that are effective for the accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025, the same accounting policies were applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The material accounting policies adopted by the Group to prepare the consolidated financial statements are set out below.

(a) Basis of consolidation

i) Subsidiaries

If a member of the Group uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the consolidated financial statements for the same transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to its financial statements in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

ii) Intra-group transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group balances, transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized intra-group losses are recognized as expense if intra-group losses indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements.

iii) Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are accounted for separately from the parent’s ownership interests in a subsidiary. Each component of net profit or loss and other comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and non-controlling interest holders, even when the non-controlling interests balance is reduced to below zero.

iv) Business combinations

A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control.

(b) Investments in associates and joint ventures

An associate is an entity in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the entity’s financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20 and 50 percent of the voting power of another entity.

The investment in an associate and a joint venture is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying value is increased or decreased to recognize the Group’s share of the profit or loss and changes in equity of the associate and the joint venture after the date of acquisition. Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated the Group's stake in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized losses are also being derecognized unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred assets.

If an associate or a joint venture uses accounting policies different from those of the Group for transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to its financial statements in applying the equity method.

When the carrying value of that interest, including any long-term investments, is reduced to nil, the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has to make payments on behalf of the investee for further losses.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

(c) Revenue recognition criteria

The Group recognizes revenue by applying the below five-step model for revenue recognition.

① Identification of contract

② Identification of performance obligation

③ Calculation of transaction price

④ Allocation of transaction price to performance obligation

⑤ Recognition of revenue when performance obligation is fulfilled

i) Interest income and expenses

Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method as time passes.

ii) Dividend income

Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive dividends is established.

(d) Overseas operation

When the functional currency of a overseas operation is not the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, the assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position (including the comparative statement of financial position) are translated at the closing rate at the end of the reporting period, and the income and expenses in the statement of comprehensive income (including the comparative statement of comprehensive income) are translated at the exchange rates at the transaction dates, with resulting foreign exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income.

(e) Cash and cash equivalents

The Group classifies cash balances, call deposits and highly liquid investment assets with original maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date that are easily converted into a fixed amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value as cash and cash equivalents.

SHINHAN LIFE INSURANCE CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

(f) Non-derivative financial assets

Financial assets are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. In addition, a regular way purchase or sale (a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose terms require delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or convention in the market concerned) is recognized on the trade date.

i) Financial assets designated at FVTPL

Financial assets can be irrevocably designated as measured at FVTPL despite of classification standards stated below, if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognizing the gains or losses on them on different bases. However, once the financial assets are designated at FVTPL, it is irrevocable.

ii) Equity instruments

For the equity instruments that are not held for trading, at initial recognition, the Group may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. Equity instruments that are not classified as financial assets at FVOCI are classified as financial assets at FVTPL.

The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Valuation gains or losses of the equity instruments that are classified as financial assets at FVOCI previously recognized as other comprehensive income is not reclassified as profit or loss on derecognition. The Group recognizes dividends in profit or loss when the Group's right to receive payments of the dividend is established.

Valuation gains or losses due to changes in fair value of the financial assets at FVTPL are recognized as gains or losses on financial assets at FVTPL. Impairment loss (reversal) on equity instruments at FVOCI is not recognized separately.

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

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

(f) Non-derivative financial assets (continued)

iii) Debt instruments

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model in which the asset is managed and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the asset. Debt instruments are classified as financial assets at amortized cost, at FVOCI, or at FVTPL. Debt instruments are reclassified only when the Group’s business model changes.

① Financial assets at amortized cost

Assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Impairment losses, and gains or losses on derecognition of the financial assets at amortized cost are recognized in profit or loss. Interest income on the effective interest method is included in the ‘Interest income’ in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

② Financial assets at FVOCI

Assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Other than impairment losses, interest income amortized using effective interest method and foreign exchange differences, gains or losses of the financial assets at FVOCI are recognized as other comprehensive income in equity. On derecognition, gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. The interest income on the effective interest method is included in the ‘Interest income’ in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Foreign exchange differences and impairment losses are included in the ‘Net foreign currency transaction gain’ and ‘Provision for credit loss allowance’ in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, respectively.

③ Financial assets at FVTPL

Debt securities other than financial assets at amortized costs or FVOCI are classified at FVTPL. Unless hedge accounting is applied, gains or losses from financial assets at FVTPL are recognized as profit or loss and are included in ‘Net gain on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

iv) Embedded derivatives

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are classified regarding the entire hybrid contract, and the embedded derivatives are not separately recognized. The entire hybrid contract is considered when it is determined whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

(g) Non-derivative financial liabilities

The Group categorizes financial liabilities into financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other financial liabilities based on the substance of the contractual terms and the definition of financial liabilities.

i) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss.

ii) Other financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities other than financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are classified as other financial liabilities and other financial liabilities include borrowing, debentures, etc. At the date of initial recognition, other financial liabilities are measured at fair value minus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

The Group derecognizes a financial liability from the consolidated statement of financial position when it is extinguished (i.e. when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

(h) Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value. Subsequently, the valuation gains or losses resulting from the fair value changes of derivatives are recognized as described below.

i) Hedge accounting

The Group holds forward exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, currency swaps and other derivative contracts to manage interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. The Group designated derivatives as hedging instruments to hedge the risk of changes in the fair value of assets, liabilities, or firm commitments (a fair value hedge) and foreign currency risk of highly probable forecasted transactions or firm commitments (a cash flow hedge).

On initial designation of the hedge, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument(s) and hedged item(s), including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction. In addition, this document describes the hedging instrument, hedged item, and the method of evaluating the effect of the hedging instrument offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flow of the hedged item due to the hedged risk at the initiation of the hedging relationship and in subsequent periods.

① Fair value hedge

When a derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, an effective part of the change in the fair value of the derivative that meets requirement of fair value risk hedge accounting is recognized in profit or loss, and changes in the fair value of a derivative hedging instrument designated as a fair value hedge are recognized in profit or loss. The Group discontinues fair value hedge accounting if the Group does not designate the risk hedge relationship, or the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or if the hedge no longer meets the criteria.

② Cash flow hedge

When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, an effective part of the change in the cash flow of the derivative that meets requirement of cash flow risk hedge accounting is recognized in profit or loss, and changes in the cash flow of a derivative hedging instrument designated as a cash flow hedge are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, and the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Group discontinues cash flow hedge accounting if the Group does not designate the risk hedge relationship, or the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or if the hedge no longer meets the criteria. Once hedge accounting is discontinued, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time and is recognized over the period the forecast transaction occurs as profit or loss. However, when a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss recognized in equity is immediately recognized in the profit or loss.

③ Hedge of net investment

Foreign currency differences arising on the retranslation of a financial liability designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent that the hedge is effective. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, such differences are recognized in profit or loss. When the hedged part of a net investment is disposed of, the relevant amount in the accumulated other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss as part of the profit or loss on disposal in accordance with K-IFRS No.1021, ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates’

ii) Other derivative instruments

All derivatives, except those designated as hedging instruments and that are effective in hedging, are measured at fair value and the gain or loss on valuation resulting from changes in fair value is recognized in profit or loss.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

(i) Expected credit losses on financial assets

The Group recognizes provision for credit loss allowance on the following assets:

- Financial assets measured at amortized cost

- Debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

The Group measures provision for credit loss allowance at the amount equal to the expected credit loss for the entire period, except for the following financial assets that are measured as 12-month expected credit losses.

- Debt securities whose credit is determined to be low risk at the end of the reporting period

- Other debt securities that have not significantly increased their credit risk (i.e. the risk of defaulting the financial asset over its expected life) since the initial recognition

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since the initial recognition and when estimating expected credit losses, the Group considers information that is available, reasonable, and supportable without excessive cost or effort. This includes qualitative and quantitative information and analysis based on the Group's experience and known credit ratings, including forward-looking information.

The Group assumes that the credit risk of financial assets will increase significantly if the overdue days exceed 30 days.

The Group considers that a default on a financial asset has occurred if:

- the debtor is not likely to fulfill his credit obligations to the Group unless the Group engages in an appeal.

- the delinquent days of financial assets exceed 90 days

The longest period to consider when measuring expected credit loss is the longest contract period in which the Group is exposed to credit risk.

i) Measurement of expected credit loss

Expected credit loss is a probability weighted estimate of credit loss. Credit loss is measured as the present value of all cash deficits (i.e. the difference between all contractual cash flows to be received under a contract and all contractual cash flows that is expected to be received).

Expected credit loss is discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

ii) Financial assets with credits impaired

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether the assets of financial assets measured at amortized cost and other comprehensive income and fair value of debt securities measured at fair value are impaired. If one or more events that adversely affect the estimated future cash flows of a financial asset have occurred, the financial asset is impaired.

iii) Presentation of provision for credit loss allowance in the statement of financial position

Provision for credit loss allowance on financial assets measured at amortized cost is deducted from the carrying amount of the asset. For debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the provision for credit loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income instead of reducing the carrying amount of the asset.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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

3. Material accounting policies (continued)

(j) Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than assets arising from employee benefits, deferred tax assets and non-current assets held for sale, are reviewed at the end of the reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, are tested for impairment annually by comparing their recoverable amount to their carrying amount.

The Group estimates the recoverable amount of an individual asset, if it is impossible to measure the individual recoverable amount of an asset, then the Group estimates the recoverable amount of cash-generating unit (“CGU”). A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets. The recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. The value in use is estimated by applying a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or the CGU for which estimated future cash flows have not been adjusted, to the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or the CGU.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or a CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews whether there are any indications that any impairment losses recognized in prior periods for assets other than goodwill are no longer present or have been reduced, and only reverses the estimates used to determine recoverable amount since the date of recognition of the immediate impairment loss. The carrying amount increased by the reversal of impairment losses shall not exceed the carrying amount before recognition of the impairment loss, less any amortization or accumulated depreciation recognized prior to the impairment.

(k) Leases

i) Accounting treatment as the lessee

The Group leases various tangible assets, such as real estate and vehicles, and the terms of the leases are negotiated individually and include a variety of terms and conditions. There are no other restrictions imposed by the lease contracts, except that the lease assets cannot be provided as collaterals for borrowings.

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The payment of each lease is allocated to the repayment of the liability and finance costs. The Group recognizes in profit or loss the amount calculated to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the lease liability balance for each period as finance costs. Right-of-use assets are depreciated using a straight-line method from the inception of the lease over the lease term of the right-of-use assets.

If the implicit interest rate in the lease can be readily determined, the lease payments shall be discounted using that rate, and if that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee shall use the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate.

Right-of-use assets are measured at the following items:

- The initial measurement of the lease liability.

- Lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date (net of any lease incentives received).

- Initial direct costs incurred by the lessee.

- An estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset, or to restore the underlying asset site, or to restore the underlying asset itself, as incurred by the lessee, as required by the lease terms.

Lease payments associated with short-term leases or leases of low-value assets are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less, and low-value asset leases are leases with a carrying amount of the underlying asset of W 6 million or less.

Additional considerations for the Group’s accounting as a lessee include:

Extension options and termination options are generally included in multiple real estate lease contracts. When estimating the lease term, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. Period covered by an extension option (or period covered by termination option) is included in lease term only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise (or not to exercise) the option. If the lessee and the lessor have the right to terminate without the consent of the other parties, the termination period shall be determined in consideration of the economic disadvantages incurred in terminating the contract. When significant events occur or there are significant changes in circumstances that have affected the lessee's control and the lease term before, the parties reassess whether they are quite certain to exercise the option of extension (or not).

ii) Accounting treatment as the lessor

The Group leases various types of assets such as vehicles and machinery under operating and finance lease contracts, with lease terms individually negotiated and comprising various contract terms. Methods employed by the Group to manage risks associated with all rights retained in the underlying assets include repurchase agreements and residual value guarantees.

① Finance Lease

For finance leases, the Group recognizes a finance lease receivable equal to the net investment in the lease. Any difference between the carrying amount of the leased asset at the commencement date and its fair value is recognized as a gain or loss on lease asset disposal in the current period. Furthermore, interest income is recognized using the effective interest rate method on the Group's net investment in finance leases receivable outstanding. Direct costs incurred in connection with finance leases are included in the initial recognition of finance lease receivables and are amortized over the lease term, reducing revenue recognized over the lease term.

② Operating Lease

For operating leases, lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Direct costs incurred in the negotiation and contract stages of operating leases are recognized in addition to the carrying amount of the underlying asset. Additionally, depreciation of operating lease assets is accounted for similarly to depreciation of other similar assets owned by the Group.

(l) Property, plant, and equipment

Land is not depreciated. Other property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line method which is the most appropriately reflect the expected consumption pattern of the future economic benefits inherent in the asset over the estimated useful lives, for the acquisition cost after subtracting the residual value. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

The estimated useful life for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

Classification		Expected useful life
Building		50 years
Structure		20 years
Rental property		5 years or rental period
Vehicle		5 years
Tools		5 years

(m) Intangible assets

Intangible assets are measured initially at cost and, subsequently, are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.

Amortization of intangible assets, except goodwill, is carried out on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives from the date they are available for use, with a residual value of zero. However, for certain intangible assets, where the period over which they are expected to be available for use is not reasonably determinable, the useful life of the intangible assets is considered indefinite, and therefore, not subject to amortization.

Classification		Expected useful life
Development cost		5 years
Software		5 years
License		10 years

(n) Investment properties

Investment property is measured initially at its cost including transaction costs incurred in acquiring the asset. After recognition as an asset, investment property is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Land held for investment is not depreciated. Investment property, except for land, is depreciated using straight-line method over their useful lives of 50 years.

(o) Employee benefits

i) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are employee benefits that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. When an employee has rendered service to the Group during an accounting period, the Group recognizes the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

ii) Other long-term employee benefits

The Group’s net obligation in respect of other long-term employee benefits that are not expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service, is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Remeasurements are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

iii) Retirement benefits

① Defined benefit plans

As of December 31, 2025, defined benefit liabilities related to the defined benefit plan are recognized by deducting the fair value of external reserve from the present value of the defined benefit plan debt.

The defined benefit liability is calculated by an independent actuary every year. If the net amount calculated by deducting the fair value of the plan assets from the present value of the defined benefit obligation is an asset, the asset is recognized up to the limit of the present value of the economic benefits available in such a way as to receive a refund from the plan or to reduce future contributions to the plan.

(p) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The risks and uncertainties that inevitably surround many events and circumstances are taken into account in reaching the best estimate of a provision. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined at the present value of the expected future cash flows.

Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.

(q) Insurance contract

i) Definition and classification of insurance contracts

The Group classifies the insurance contract issued as an insurance contract when assuming significant insurance risk from the policyholder, regardless of its legal form. It is classified as an insurance contract if, based on present value, there is a potential loss exposure and if, under any commercially plausible scenario, significant additional payments (determined on a present value basis) would be required to the policyholder. The assessment of assuming significant insurance risk is performed for each contract at the time of issuance. For reinsurance contracts, they are classified as insurance contracts when transferring significant insurance risk to the reinsurer. Additionally, contracts with discretionary participation features are also classified as insurance contracts.

Among the insurance contracts held by the Group, participating insurance contracts are contracts under which, in accordance with the terms and conditions agreed between the insurer and the policyholder, the insurer distributes excess profits to policyholders in the form of dividends pursuant to the Regulations on Supervision of Insurance Business, in addition to insurance claims or surrender values. Under such contracts, the insurer has a contractual obligation to pay dividends to policyholders when dividends arise in accordance with the insurance policy terms and conditions.

Insurance contracts issued by the Group are subject to the recognition and measurement of insurance liabilities in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1117. K-IFRS No. 1117 requires insurance liabilities to be measured and recognized at the level of individual insurance contracts and to be measured based on estimates of all future cash flows within groups of insurance contracts. Accordingly, for participating insurance contracts, insurance liabilities are measured and recognized at the level of individual insurance contracts by estimating the future cash flows of each contract, including insurance claims, surrender values and dividends.

Such insurance contracts constitute a unit of account for the recognition and measurement of liabilities, as defined in paragraph 4.48 of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting.

Accordingly, insurance liabilities are recognized and measured in accordance with the requirements of K-IFRS No. 1117 using insurance contracts as the unit of account, thereby meeting the definition of a liability under the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting. In this context, liabilities related to policyholder dividends constitute a component of insurance liabilities measured using participating insurance contracts as the unit of account.

As of December 31, 2025, the present value of estimated future cash flows related to the Group’s participating insurance contracts amounted to W4,719,406 million. This amount was measured based on reasonable assumptions and available information as of December 31, 2025. The key assumptions affecting the measurement of insurance liabilities and the effects (sensitivity) of changes in each assumption on the fulfilment cash flows, including the best estimate of future cash flows (BEL) and the risk adjustment for non-financial risk (RA), and the contractual service margin (CSM) are described in detail in Note 6.

ii) Recognition and measurement of insurance liabilities (assets) and reinsurance assets (liabilities)

1 Unit of account

The Group identifies portfolios of insurance contracts by integrating insurance contracts that are subjected to similar risks and managed together based on coverage, currency, and interest rate types. The Group divides a portfolio of insurance contracts issued into the following groups of insurance contracts based on similarity of profitability. However, for contracts issued to which the Group applies the premium allocation approach, the Group shall assume no contracts in the portfolio are onerous (or net gain for reinsurance) at initial recognition, unless facts and circumstances indicate otherwise.

A group of insurance contracts issued:

- a group of contracts that are onerous at initial recognition

- a group of contracts that at initial recognition have no significant possibility of becoming onerous subsequently

- a group of the remaining contracts

A group of reinsurance contract held:

- a group of contracts with net profit at initial recognition

- a group of contracts that at initial recognition have no significant possibility of net gain subsequently

- a group of the remaining contracts

The Group does not include contracts issued more than one year apart in the same group, and it does not reassess the composition of the group subsequently.

② Recognition of group of insurance contracts

The Group recognizes the group of insurance contracts it issues from the earliest of the following .

- The beginning of the coverage period of the group of contracts;

- The date when the first payment from a policyholder in the group becomes due (If there is no contractual payment due date, the time the first premium is received is considered that date); and

- For a group of onerous contracts, when the group becomes onerous.

The Group recognizes a group of reinsurance contracts held at the beginning of the coverage period of the group of insurance contracts held. However, in the case of non-proportional reinsurance where the ceding group of contracts is a onerous portfolio and the reinsurance contract is entered into either at the commencement of the coverage period of that onerous ceding group of insurance contracts or earlier, the Group recognizes the group of reinsurance contracts on the earlier of the commencement of the coverage period for the group of reinsurance contracts and the recognition date of the onerous ceding group of insurance contracts. In addition, in the case of proportional reinsurance, the Group recognizes the group of reinsurance contracts held at the time of initial recognition of the group of underlying insurance contracts, if the initial recognition time of the group of underlying insurance contracts is later than the beginning of the coverage period of the group of reinsurance contracts held.

(q) Insurance contract (continued)

ii) Recognition and measurement of insurance liabilities (assets) and reinsurance assets (liabilities)(continued)

③ Measurement of insurance liabilities (assets) and reinsurance assets (liabilities) under the general model

On initial recognition, the Group measures a group of insurance contracts issued as the sum of the fulfillment cash flows comprising estimates of future cash flows, an adjustment to reflect the time value of money and the financial risks related to the future cash flows , and risk adjustments to non-financial risk and the contractual service margin, and subsequently, as the sum of the liability or asset of for remaining coverage comprising the fulfillment cash flows and the contractual service margin and liability or asset for incurred claims comprising the fulfillment cash flows. The liability for remaining coverage includes the obligation to investigate and pay reasonable insurance benefits according to the current insurance contract for insurance events that have not yet occurred, the obligation to pay amounts related to insurance contract services that have not yet been provided, the obligation to pay amounts related to insurance contract services that have not yet been provided, and represents the obligation to pay investment components and other amounts that have not been transferred to incurred liability. The liability for incurred claims comprises the obligation to investigate insurance events that have already occurred and pay reasonable insurance claims and other incurred insurance costs, the obligation to pay amounts related to insurance contract services already provided, and obligation to pay investment elements and other amounts not related to insurance contract services and not included in the liability for remaining coverage.

- The estimate of future cash flows

The Group estimates future cash flows using a probability-weighted average based on all relevant, reliable, and neutral information available without undue cost or effort regarding the timing, scope, and uncertainty of future cash flows. Estimates for market variables are consistent with observable market prices and reflect the perspective of the entity, while estimates for non-market variables incorporate all reasonable and reliable internal and external evidence available without undue cost or effort, while ensuring consistency with observable market variables. The Group segregates the future cash flows of reinsurance contracts from those of the underlying insurance contracts and measures them separately, using assumptions consistent with the underlying direct insurance contracts issued but including the effects risk of failure of the debtor.

- Future cash flows within the contract boundary

The Group includes all future cash flows within the boundary of the group of insurance contracts issued when measuring the group. Cash flows within the contract boundary refer to cash flows up to the reporting period in which there exists a substantive right or obligation to compel the policyholder to pay premiums (or compel the reinsurer to pay reinsurance premiums for group of reinsurance contracts) or to provide substantive services under the insurance contract (or receive substantive services from the reinsurer for group of reinsurance contracts). Cash flows within the contract boundary include premiums from policyholders, claims and benefits payable to policyholders (including payments linked to underlying items), insurance claim handling expenses, options and guarantees embedded in cash flows, insurance acquisition cash flows directly attributable to the contract or its portfolio, fixed/variable indirect expenses directly attributable to fulfilling the insurance contract, costs related to investment activities and the provision of investment return services/investment-related services, insurance policy loans, etc; and excludes investment income or future insurance-related cash flows, product development expenses, and training expenses not directly attributable to the insurance contract portfolio

The substantive obligation to provide insurance contract services (or the substantive right to receive insurance contract services for group of reinsurance contracts) terminates when there is actual ability to reassess the risk of specific policyholders or portfolios (or risks transferred to reinsurers for group of reinsurance contracts) and, as a result, to fully reflect such risks in pricing or settlement. Risks related to periods after the reassessment date are not considered when reevaluating the portfolio's pricing. The Group reassesses the boundary of the contract at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes in circumstances affecting substantive rights and obligations.

③ Measurement of insurance liabilities (assets) and reinsurance assets (liabilities) under the general model (continued)

- Discretionary cash flows

The Group identifies and distinguishes the effects of discretionary cash flow variations, which pertain to amounts or timing of cash flows subject to discretion, and the effects of changes in assumptions related to financial risks on the recognition, separately. Any impact of changes in discretion on recognition is adjusted in contractual service margin. The Group considers any adjustment rate applied to the benchmark rate as discretionary when applying the crediting rate to payments to policyholders.

- Insurance acquisition cash flows

The Group allocates insurance acquisition cash flows directly attributable to the group of insurance contracts in a reasonable and systematic manner based on future group of insurance contracts that will be recognized as a result of renewals within the portfolio and the insurance contracts included in that portfolio. After allocation, insurance acquisition cash flows recognized as an asset is evaluated for recoverability at the end of each reporting period if there is evidence or indication of impairment, and any impairment losses are recognized in the income statement and adjust the carrying amount of an asset for insurance acquisition cash flows. The asset for insurance acquisition cash flows is removed when the related group of insurance contracts is initially recognized and included in the measurement of the fulfillment cash flows for that group of insurance contracts.

- Discount rate

The Group measures the time value of money using a discount rate that reflects the cash flow and liquidity characteristics of insurance contracts while being consistent with current observable market prices and then adjusts future cash flow estimates. To do this, the Group calculates a risk-free interest rate term structure using the Smith-Wilson interpolation method, incorporating yields on government bonds with maturities observed in the market up to the longest term available, along with initial convergence periods and long-term lead rates. Liquidity premiums are then added to determine deterministic scenarios. The liquidity premium is derived by multiplying an adjustment ratio to the difference between the risk spread of the representative insurance industry portfolio and the credit risk spread. Additionally, the Group generates 1,000 stochastic scenarios based on this deterministic scenario, reflecting convergence speed parameters and volatility parameters. Deterministic and stochastic scenarios for foreign currencies are calculated separately from scenarios for the currency of Korean Won, taking into account the characteristics of each currency.

- Risk adjustment for non-financial risk

The Group explicitly reflects between estimated future cash flows and discount rates, reflecting the compensation of the uncertainty surrounding the amounts and timing of cash flows arising from non-financial risks through adjustments for non-financial risk. These adjustments are made in accordance with insurance regulations and are allocated at the individual contract level through reasonable and systematic methods. For reinsurance contracts held, adjustments for non-financial risk are calculated to reflect the risk transferred from the holder of the reinsurance contract to the reinsurer, consistent with the assumptions applied in the underlying insurance contracts issued.

③ Measurement of insurance liabilities (assets) and reinsurance assets (liabilities) under the general model (continued)

- Contractual service margin

At the time of initial recognition of a group of insurance contracts issued, the Group measures the contractual service margin, which is unrealized profit that will be recognized as insurance contract services are provided in the future, as the amount that does not recognize revenue or expenses from:

ⅰ) The amount of fulfillment future cash flows expected at initial recognition date for the group of insurance contracts.

ⅱ) All cash flows already incurred from contracts within the group of insurance contracts at the initial recognition date.

ⅲ) The acquisition cash flows allocated to the group of insurance contracts at the initial recognition date.

ⅳ) Other assets or liabilities recognized previously for cash flows associated with the group of insurance contracts at the initial recognition date.

In the case of a reinsurance contracts held, the net cost or net gain on purchasing a group of the reinsurance contracts held is recognized as contractual service margin. However, if the net cost of purchasing reinsurance coverage is related to costs incurred prior to purchasing a group of reinsurance contracts held, it is recognized in profit or loss.

- The changes in fulfilment cashflows and contractual service margins

The Group re-estimates the future cash flows as of the end of each reporting period at current estimates. Changes in fulfilment cash flows related to the future service are adjusted in the contractual service margin, while change in fulfilment cash flows related the current and past service are recognized in profit or loss. The Group also adjusts the contractual service margins for experience adjustments related to future service-related premiums and related insurance acquisition cash flows, as well as for differences between expected and actual investment components. However, changes in the time value of money and financial risk, changes in estimated cash flows for liabilities for incurred claim, and other experience adjustments related to current and past services are not adjusted in the contractual service margins.

The Group calculates the carrying amounts of the contractual service margins at the end of the reporting period by adjusting the following amounts to the carrying amounts at the start of the reporting period.

ⅰ) the effect of any new contracts added to the group;

ⅱ) interest accreted on the carrying amount of the contractual service margins during the reporting period, measured at the discount rate determined at initial recognition;

ⅲ) the changes in fulfillment cash flows relating to future services except to the amounts of change in the fulfillment cash flows are allocated to the loss component or loss recovery component;

ⅳ) the effects of any currency exchange differences on the contractual service margin; and

ⅴ) the amounts recognized as insurance revenue because of the transfer of insurance contract services in the period.

- Loss components and loss recovery components

The Group considers an insurance contract as onerous contract at the date of initial recognition if the fulfilment cash flows allocated to the contract, any previously recognized insurance acquisition cash flows and cash flows and any cash flows arising from the contract at that date of initial recognition in total are a net outflow. Additionally, the Group considers a group of insurance contracts becomes onerous on subsequent measurement if unfavorable changes relating to future services in fulfillment cash flows allocated to the group of insurance contracts exceed the carrying amount of the contractual service margins.

③ Measurement of insurance liabilities (assets) and reinsurance assets (liabilities) under the general model (continued)

The Group recognize a loss in profit or loss for the net outflow for the group of onerous contracts, resulting in the carrying amounts of the liability for the group being equal to the fulfillment cash flows and contractual service margin of the group being zero. Any portion at the initial recognition date in the group of onerous contracts that is expected to result in a net outflow or exceeds the carrying amount of the contractual service margin subsequently is considered a loss component of that portfolio and recognized as a loss in the current period. After recognizing the loss component, the Group systematically allocates changes relating to future services in fulfillment cash flows on subsequent measurement between the loss component and the others based on established criteria. However, favorable changes relating to future services in fulfillment cash flows on subsequent measurement are allocated only to the loss component until it is fully exhausted and recognized in the current period. Any excess beyond the loss component’s exhaustion is then recognized as contractual service margin again.

In the case of a group of reinsurance contracts held, when a loss component is recognized in the group of the underlying insurance contracts, the Group calculates the loss recovery component of the group of the reinsurance contracts held by multiplying the expected recovery ratio for claims under the group of the underlying insurance contracts by the loss component attributed to those claims. This loss recovery component is then used to adjust assets for the remaining coverage of the reinsurance group and to adjust the contractual service margin (or directly adjust the liabilities for remaining coverage if the premium allocation approach is applied) for recognition of the current period’s profit or loss. The loss recovery component is adjusted to reflect fluctuations in the loss component of the group of the underlying insurance contracts within the range that does not exceed the loss component’s carrying amount for the group of the underlying insurance contracts.

ii) Recognition and measurement of insurance liabilities (assets) and reinsurance assets (liabilities)(continued)

④ Measurement of insurance liabilities (assets) under the variable fee approach

The Group applies the variable fee approach to measure insurance liabilities (assets) for insurance contracts with direct participation features that meet the following conditions at inception: The Group provides investment-related services at the commencement of the insurance contract, and the insurance contract has direct participation features. The Group does not reassess the following conditions unless there is a contract modification. The variable fee approach is not applied to reinsurance contracts held.

i) The contractual terms specify that the policyholder participates in a share of a clearly identified pool of underlying items

ii) The Group expects to pay to policyholder an amount equal to a substantial share of the fair value returns on the underlying items

iii) The Group expects a substantial proportion of any change in the amounts to be paid to the policyholder to vary with the change in fair value of the underlying items.

In the variable fee approach, it is clear that the obligation to pay an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying items, deducted by the variable fee, constitutes the liability to the policyholder. The variable fee represents the amount deducted from the fair value of the underlying items, which is the portion not subject to fluctuations based on the performance of the underlying items. Fluctuations in the obligation to pay an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying items are not adjusted in the contractual service margin. However, adjustments are made in the contractual service margin for the portion of the fair value of the underlying items attributable to the Group and the fluctuation in the cash flows not subject to variations based on the performance of the underlying items.

The Group measures the fulfillment cash flows under variable fee approach at the initial recognition date and at the end of the reporting period using the same general model. The carrying amounts of the contractual service margin at the end of the reporting period under variable fee approach is adjusted the following amounts to the carrying amounts at the start of the reporting period.

i) the effect of any new contracts added to the group;

ii) the change in the amounts of the entity’s share of the fair value of underlying items excluding recognition and reversal of loss components;

iii) the changes in fulfillment cash flows relating future services excluding recognition and reversal of loss components;

iv) the effects of any currency exchange differences on the contractual service margins; and

v) the amounts recognized as insurance revenue because of the transfer of insurance contract services in the period.

⑤ Insurance liabilities (assets) and reinsurance assets (liabilities) measured under the premium allocation approach.

At the inception of a group of insurance contracts issued, if there is a reasonable expectation that the measurement of liabilities for remaining coverage under premium allocation approach does not differ materially from the one under the general model, and if the coverage period for all contracts within the group of insurance contracts issued is one year or less, the insurance liabilities (assets) are measured using the premium allocation approach, which is a simplified method compared to the general model.

The Group measures the residual insurance liabilities (assets) at the initial recognition by deducting from the cash received as premiums (or reinsurance premiums paid in the case of reinsurance contracts), the amount of insurance acquisition cash flows not immediately recognized as expenses (including amounts removed from assets). Subsequently, it determines the carrying amount by adding or subtracting the following amounts from the initial amount.

ⅰ) Premiums received during the reporting period. (Reinsurance premium paid for reinsurance contracts held)

ⅰⅰ) Insurance acquisition cash flows not recognized as expenses and amortization of those insurance acquisition cash flows

ⅲ) Adjustments related to significant financing component.

ⅳ) Amount recognized in profit or loss for the reporting period due to providing insurance contract services.

v) Investment component paid (received for reinsurance contracts held) or transferred to the liability for incurred claims.

The Group does not adjust the carrying amount of the Liabilities for remaining coverage at the initial recognition date if the coverage period of each contract within the group of insurance contracts does not exceed one year, in order to reflect the time value of money and the financial risk effect. Additionally, acquisition cash flows are recognized as expenses when they occur. However, if circumstances indicate that the group of insurance contracts incurs losses, the Group performs impairment tests. If the cash flows for the fulfillment exceed the carrying amount of the liabilities for remaining coverage, the difference is recognized as a loss in the current period and increases the liabilities for remaining coverage by the corresponding amount.

ⅲ) Recognition of insurance revenue and insurance service expenses

① Recognition of insurance revenue in general model and variable fee approach

Insurance revenue is measured as the amount expected to be received in exchange for providing insurance contract services for issued group of insurance contracts. It consists of the sum of changes in the residual insurance liabilities and amounts related to insurance acquisition cash flows.

ⅰ) Insurance service costs incurred during the period, measured at the amount estimated at the inception date (excluding transaction-related taxes collected on behalf of third parties, amounts allocated to loss components, insurance acquisition costs, amounts repayable to policyholders regardless of the occurrence of insurance events, and insurance contract loan execution amounts).

ⅱ) Changes in the risk adjustment for non-financial risk (excluding amounts allocated to loss components and changes related to future services).

ⅲ) Contractual service margin recognized in the current period as profit or loss, calculated based on the quantity of benefits payments and the expected duration of benefits for contracts within the group of insurance contracts, considering the frequency and severity of occurrence of benefits for the entire coverage units allocated to the current period.

ⅳ) Other amounts such as experience adjustments on premiums collected for current or past services.

Insurance revenue related to insurance acquisition cash flows is calculated by systematically allocating the portion of premiums associated with these cash flows over time, reflecting the recovery of these cash flows. The same amount is recognized as insurance service costs.

② Recognition of insurance revenue under the premium allocation approach.

Under the premium allocation approach, insurance revenue is recognized by allocating the expected premium income (excluding investment components) for services provided over each period. However, if the pattern of release of risk expected during the coverage period significantly differs from the passage of time, the expected premium income is allocated according to the pattern expected for the incurring of insurance service expenses.

③ Recognition of insurance service expenses

The insurance service expenses incurred as a result of issuing the group of insurance contracts issued consist of the following.

ⅰ) Increase in the liabilities for incurred claims and changes in the fulfilment cash flows related to premiums and expenses (excluding repayment of investment elements).

ⅱ) Amortization of insurance acquisition cash flows (the same amount is recognized as insurance revenue and insurance service expenses).

ⅲ) Loss component recognized in the group of onerous contracts at initial recognition and the changes of loss component relating the future services.

ⅲ) Recognition of insurance revenue and insurance service expenses (continued)

④ The recognition of reinsurance revenue and reinsurance service expenses for groups of reinsurance contracts held.

The revenue and expenses arising from group of reinsurance contract held is recognized by adopting the method of recognizing insurance service expenses and insurance revenue of underlying insurance contract, with adjustments made to reflect the characteristics of reinsurance contracts (revenue being the amount recovered from reinsurers and expenses being the allocated portion of premiums paid to reinsurers).

ⅳ) Modification and derecognition

The Group derecognizes the original contract and recognizes the modified contract as a new contract when the insurance contract terms are changed and specific criteria are met. If the contract modification does not meet such criteria, the effect of the contract modification is treated as changes in estimated of fulfilment cash flows. There were no instances during the current and prior periods where the original contract was derecognized and the modified contract was recognized as a new contract. When an insurance contract is extinguished (when the obligation specified in the insurance contract expires or is discharged or cancelled), the Group derecognizes the insurance contract, adjusts the estimated cash flows and contractual service margin related to the removed contract within the group of insurance contracts, and reflects the derecognized contract in the number of coverage units of the group of insurance contracts issued.

ⅴ) Change in accounting treatment of accounting estimates measured in the interim financial statements

The Group has adopted an accounting policy of not changing the accounting treatment of accounting estimates measured in interim financial statements when preparing subsequent interim financial statements and annual financial statements.

ⅵ) Presentation

The Group separately presents the carrying amounts of insurance contract portfolio, which is an asset, the carrying amounts of the insurance contract portfolio, which is a liability, the carrying amounts of the reinsurance contract portfolio held, which is an asset, and the carrying amounts of the reinsurance contract portfolio held, which is a liability, respectively, in the consolidated statement of financial position. Furthermore, it distinguishes between insurance revenue and reinsurance service expenses, as well as insurance service expenses and reinsurance revenue, without offsetting them against each other in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

The Group includes the time value of money and the effects of financial risks, as well as their fluctuations, in insurance finance income (expenses). The Group has chosen an accounting policy to differentiate between insurance finance income (expenses) for the period as either recognized in the current income or in other comprehensive income. For groups of insurance contracts for which changes in assumptions that relate to financial risk have a substantial effect on the amounts paid to the policyholders, the finance income (expenses) is determined using an allocation that is based on the amounts credited in the period and expected to be credited in future periods. For other insurance groups, the effective interest rate determined at initial recognition is used to calculate insurance finance income (expenses) recognized in the current period. In cases where the variable fee approach is applied to insurance groups holding underlying items, the amount recognized as insurance finance income (expenses) in the current period is determined to eliminate accounting mismatches with the underlying items and recognized in the current income.

(r) Hybrid bonds

The Group classifies an issued financial instrument, or its component parts, as a financial liability or an equity instrument depending on the substance of the contractual arrangement of such financial instrument. Hybrid bonds where the Group has an unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or another financial asset to settle a contractual obligation are classified as an equity instrument and presented as part of equity.

(s) Income tax

Shinhan Financial Group, the parent company of the Group, reported and paid corporate taxes by considering the entire domestic subsidiary company, including the Group, as a single tax unit, and the consolidated tax burden amount was counted as the current corporate tax liability. The deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized as temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and the tax value, and items directly attributable to the Group among the future tax burden to be paid for tax losses and tax credits that can be carried forward and deducted.

The carrying value of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period. The carrying value of deferred tax assets is reduced when it is no longer likely that sufficient taxable income will be generated to use benefits from deferred tax assets.

(t) Operating segments

The Group divides segments based on internal reporting data which is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and evaluate their performance. The segment information reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker includes items directly attributable to the segment and items that can be reasonably allocated.

(a) Risk management overview (continued)

iii) Risk management procedures

The Group manages risks by identifying, measuring, and evaluating the various risks that the Group is exposed; controlling the risks by reflecting in management strategies and policies; and re-identifying risks through monitoring.

① Risk identification: identify risks by type that may occur in management activities, such as credit, market, interest rate, liquidity, etc.

② Risk measurement and evaluation: measure risk capital based on external (set by the Financial Service Commission) and internal standards and evaluate capital adequacy

③ Risk control: establish controls such as risk limits and appropriate investment limits and implement management framework

④ Risk monitoring: monitor any indicators of exceeding limits and risk factors regularly and report the results to management and committees.

(b) Credit risk

ⅰ) Definition and management objective

Credit risk is the risk of potential economic loss or the risk of a counterparty failing to meet its contractual obligations within terms of deposits, loans, securities etc., in which funds are provided in the form of loans or bond purchases, or a legal agreement of an underlying asset at a predetermined price to be exchanged at a specific future date, due to bankruptcy of a debtor, decrease in credit ratings, counterparty default etc. The Group aims to maintain risks within the manageable level and to minimize the realization of the risk.

ii) Management principles

The Group manages credit risk based on the following core principles:

① Establish credit quality management indicators and limits for credit loans, etc. and comply with them;

② Manage credit risk by credit analysis on a regular basis;

③ Comply with the credit risk limits and investment limits; and

④ Manage assets by organizing appropriate investment portfolios and avoid concentrations in any investments.

(b) Credit risk (continued)

iii) Risk management

The Group manages various credit risks that may arise in loans, securities other than trading position, related non-operating assets, investments in associates and subsidiaries, deposits and due from banks, over-the-counter derivatives, and others.

① Risk Measurement Method

Credit risk is measured by inputting risk components according to the Group’s internal credit risk capital calculation method, and the calculation formula is as follows:

EAD(Exposure At Default) × f(PD, LGD, R, M)

Where:

EAD is exposure at default

PD is probability of default

LGD is loss given default

R is correlation

M is maturity

f is a function to calculate capital requirements outlined in the Basel

② Risk limit management and risk mitigation policy

The Group sets limits on credit allowances for each industry, affiliate, and corporate to manage credit risk. The risk management department monitors the compliance with those limits on a daily basis, the result of which is regularly reported to the management, as well as the Risk Management Committee.

iv) Recognition and measurement of expected credit losses

① How to determine whether credit risk increases significantly after initial recognition

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has significantly increased since its initial recognition, and when assessing the significant increase in credit risk, the Group uses changes in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of financial instrument, instead of using the changes in expected credit losses.

(i) Significant increase in credit risk

The Group considers that the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly after the initial recognition, if the number of days overdue for a specific exposure exceeds 30 days. The Group calculates overdue days from the earliest date when the Group has not fully received the contractual payments to be received from the borrower and the grace period granted to the borrower is not considered.

The Group periodically reviews the criteria for determining whether credit risk has increased significantly from the following points of view:

- A significant increase in credit risk shall be identified prior to the occurrence of default.

- The criteria established to judge the significant increase in credit risk shall have a more predictive power than the criteria for days of delinquency.

- As a result of applying the judgment criteria, financial instruments shall not move too frequently between the 12-month expected credit losses measurement and the lifetime expected credit losses measurement.

② Modified financial assets

If the contractual cash flows on a financial asset have been renegotiated or modified but the financial asset was not derecognized, the Group assesses whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk of the financial instrument by comparing the risk of a default occurring at initial recognition based on the original, unmodified contractual terms and the risk of a default occurring at the reporting date based on the modified contractual terms.

Debt restructuring is a qualitative indicator of a significant increase in credit risk and the Group recognizes lifetime expected credit losses for the exposure expected to be the subject of such adjustments. If a borrower faithfully makes payments of contractual cash flows that were modified in accordance with the debt restructuring or if the borrower's internal credit rating has recovered to the level prior to the recognition of the lifetime expected credit losses, the Group recognizes the 12-month expected credit losses for that exposure again.

③ Risk of default

The Group considers a financial asset to be in default if it meets one or more of the following conditions:

- If a borrower is overdue 90 days or more from the contractual payment date,

- If the Group judges that it is not possible to recover principal and interest without enforcing the collateral on a financial asset

The definition of default applied by the Group generally conforms to the definition of default defined for regulatory capital management purposes; however, depending on the situations, the information used to determine whether a default has incurred and the extent thereof may vary.

iv) Recognition and measurement of expected credit losses (continued)

④ Reflection of forward-looking information

The Group incorporates forward-looking information based on various sources of information when measuring expected credit losses.

⑤ Measurement of expected credit loss

The main variables used to measure expected credit loss are as follows:

- Probability of Default (PD)

- Loss Given Default (LGD)

- Exposure At Default (EAD)

These variables have been estimated from historical experience data by using the statistical techniques developed internally by the Group and have been adjusted to reflect forward-looking information.

Estimates of PD over a specified period are estimated by reflecting characteristics of counterparties and their exposure, based on a statistical model at a specific point of time. The Group uses its own information to develop a statistical credit assessment model used for the estimation, and additional information observed in the market is considered for some portfolios such as a group of large corporates. When a counterparty or exposure is concentrated in specific grades, the method of measuring PD for those grades would be adjusted, and the PD by grade is estimated by considering contract expiration of the exposure.

LGD refers to the expected loss if a borrower defaults. The Group calculates LGD based on the experience recovery rate measured from past default exposures. The model for measuring LGD is developed to reflect type of collateral, seniority of collateral, type of borrower, and cost of recovery. In particular, LGD for retail loan products uses loan to value (LTV) as a key variable. The recovery rate reflected in the LGD calculation is based on the present value of recovery amount, discounted at the effective interest rate.

EAD refers to the expected exposure at the time of default. The Group derives EAD reflecting a rate at which the current exposure is expected to be used additionally up to the point of default within the contractual limit. EAD of financial assets is equal to the total carrying value of the asset, and EAD of loan commitments or financial guarantee contracts is calculated as the sum of the amount expected to be used in the future.

Risk factors of PD, LGD and EAD are collectively estimated.

The criteria classifying groups is periodically reviewed to maintain homogeneity of the group and adjusted if necessary. The Group uses external benchmark information to supplement internal information for a particular portfolio that did not have sufficient internal data accumulated from the experience.

⑥ Write-off of financial assets

The Group writes off a portion of or entire loan or debt security that is not expected to receive its principal and interest. In general, the Group conducts write-off when it is deemed that the borrower has no sufficient resources or income to repay the principal and interest. Such determination on write-off is carried out in accordance with the internal rules of the Group and is carried out with the approval of an external institution, if necessary. Apart from write-off, the Group may continue to exercise its right of collection under its own recovery policy even after the write-off of financial assets.

The Group aims to maintain these market risks within a certain range and minimize the realization of risks.

ii) Management Principles

① Manage through periodic forecasts for financial market variables such as interest rates, stock prices, and exchange rates;

② Comply with market risk limits and investment limits;

③ Operate stop-loss limits to control risks within a certain range, and obtain a resolution on establishing or amending the stop-loss criterion from the Risk Management Committee; and

(c) Market risk (continued)

iii) Risk management

The Group manages market risks, from a trading position, on securities, derivatives, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, and assets and liabilities of variable insurance.

① Market risk measurement technique

Market risk VaR (Value At Risk) is measured using the Delta-Normal method based on the volatility of price, interest rate, and exchange rate-related assets over the preceding one year, aiming to estimate the maximum potential loss that could occur within the target period at the specified confidence level. The variable insurance guarantee risk amount is measured using shock scenario methodology.

② Risk management and risk reduction policy

The Group regulates various limits, including the VaR limit, to manage market risk. Market risk limits are assigned on a daily basis by VaR to check business compliance. Risk management departments regularly monitor whether the operation department complies with these limits and report them to the management and Risk Management Committee.

③ Foreign exchange risk

Since the Group holds foreign currency assets, it is exposed to the risk of dollar and other foreign currency-related exchange rate volatilities.

The Group calculates the exposure by converting the foreign currency assets and contractual amounts held at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period, and hedges foreign currency assets to avoid currency risks arising from foreign investment. Accordingly, through currency swaps or currency forward contracts when investing in foreign bonds, the Group offsets any gains or losses arising from foreign exchange rate fluctuations that may occur during future investments.

(d) Interest rate risk

i) Definition and management objective

Interest rate risk refers to the risk of a decline in net asset value or a decrease in net interest income resulted from unfavorable changes in interest rates or maturity mismatch between assets and liabilities. The Group aims to manage changes in profits, resulting from changes in interest rates, within the acceptable levels and to maintain stable net asset value.

ii) Risk management principles

The Group’s risk management principles for interest rate risk are as follows:

① Manage through periodic forecasts for market variables related to interest rates;

② Comply with interest rate risk limits and investment limits; and

③ Measures and manages risks through duration gap analysis, net asset value simulations, and maximum loss estimates.

iii) Risk management

The Group manages interest rate risks in interest-bearing assets (non-trading assets invested for the purpose of receiving interests and derivatives held for hedging) and interest-bearing liabilities (insurance contract liabilities and borrowings).

① Risk measurement method

The risk is measured by (i) the fair value of net assets at the interest rate level at the reporting date measured using a number of stochastic interest rate scenarios and deterministic scenarios generated based on economic scenarios, less (ii) the fair value of net assets based on a scenario at the 99.5% confidence level.

② Risk limit management and risk mitigation policy

The Group sets limits for interest rate risk management and the risk management department monitors the compliance with the limits on a monthly basis, the result of which is regularly reported to management, as well as the Risk Management Committee.

iv) Current status of risk

As of December 31, 2025, the interest risk for the non-trading position held by the Group is W1,244,177 million, which decreased by W458,491 million as compared to December 31, 2024 primarily due to the increases in market interest rates, the reflection of asset decomposition for assets included in indirect investment vehicles, the execution of bond forward contracts and reinsurance ceded under coinsurance arrangements, and the changes in actuarial and economic assumptions.

(e) Liquidity risk

i) Definition and management objective

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that arises from the inability to respond to situation such as maturity mismatch between assets and liabilities or unexpected fund outflows. The Group aims to (i) prevent insolvency due to lack of funds, (ii) minimize the risk of disposing assets held or borrowing funds abnormally or losing investment opportunities that resulted from a maturity mismatch between financing and operating, and (iii) maintain stable profitability.

ii) Management principles

The Group’s risk management principles of liquidity risk are as follows:

① Retain management strategies including liquidity risk management goals, management policies, and internal control systems;

② Establish a framework to calculate and manage an actual liquidity gap that reflects actual maturity of assets and liabilities, real cash flows based on changes in consumer behavior (such as overdue), off-balance sheet transactions, new transaction or financing amounts;

③ Manage risks by conducting a liquidity forecast analysis on a regular basis, and avoid concentration of financial and operational activities at a certain point of time;

④ Comply with liquidity risk limits; and

⑤ Establish risk management plans for a liquidity crisis.

iii) Risk management

The Group manages liquidity risks in all items that accompany cash inflows and outflows such as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and off-balance sheet transactions.

① Risk measurement method

The risk of insufficient fund is measured based on the 3-month real liquidity gap.

② Risk limit management and risk mitigation policy

The Group sets and monitors various indicators for liquidity risk management and regularly reports them to the management and the Risk Management Committee. The Group prepares for a liquidity crisis by establishing an emergency financing plan to secure liquidity in case of an unexpected liquidity shortage.

6. Insurance risk management

(a) Overview of insurance risk

Insurance risk is the likelihood that insured events occur and the uncertainty of the total amount and timing of claims for the insured events occurred. The main risk covered by insurance contracts is the risk that the actual claim or benefit payment will exceed the accumulated insurance liability. This risk can occur for the following reasons:

① Frequency risk: a possibility that the number of occurrences of the insured event is different from the expected number

② Severity risk: a possibility that the cost of an incident may be different from the expected cost level

By experience, when there are more similar insurance contracts or they are more diversified, the less likely it is that abnormal effects from some contracts will occur. The Group takes this into account when underwriting contracts and strives to form a sufficiently large and diversified group of contracts.

Insurance risk includes a lack of risk diversification and relates to geographical location and the nature of the policyholder as well as to the diversification of risk forms or sizes.

If the insurance contract covers death, a catastrophe affects the frequency the most and can affect the frequency of death earlier than expected due to a wide range of causes such as eating habits, smoking, and exercise habits, etc. In addition, if the coverage is survival, medical technology and social conditions can increase the survival rate. The frequency may also be affected by excessive concentration in residential areas of policyholders.

Insurance accidents in life insurance include not only the death of the policyholders (insured) but also survival, disability and hospitalization.

The Group basically classifies the Group's insurance products into individual insurance and group insurance according to the policyholder. Group insurance means a contract under which the insured belongs to a group of a certain size or larger and in which the policyholder is the representative of the group or organization. The group insurance can be divided into savings and protections. Protection insurance means insurance in which the sum of benefits paid for survival at the base age does not exceed the premium already paid; savings insurance is defined as insurance, except for protection insurance, in which the sum of benefits paid for survival exceeds the premium already paid. Individual insurance can be classified into life insurance in which the insured's death is insured, survival insurance in which the life is insured for a certain period of time, and endowment insurance in which life insurance and survival insurance are mixed.

Life insurance products can also be divided into guaranteed fixed rates, floating rates, interest accreted rate linked, and variable types by the applying term structures of interest types.

In the guaranteed fixed interest type, since the expected rate does not change from the time the policyholder enters into the contract to the end of the insurance period, the Group assumes the interest rate risk if the asset management return rate or market interest rate is lower than the expected rate. Floating interest rate type divides the net insurance premium into the guaranteed portion and the reserve portion; the guaranteed portion is applied with the predetermined expected rate, and the reserve portion changes based on the reserve rate for policy reserve according to asset management return rate, which makes partial hedge to interest rate risk, but the Group assumes some interest rate risk from the changes of asset management return rate, etc. since the minimum reserve rate for policy reserve is predetermined.

The Group uses acquisition strategies and reinsurance strategies to manage insurance risk of uncertainties of the total amount and timing of insurance claims paid due to insured events.

(a) Overview of the insurance risk (continued)

① Acceptance strategy

Acceptance strategy means diversifying the type of risk or the level of claims from that are accepted insurance policies. For example, the Group can balance mortality and survival risks. In addition, the selection of policyholders through regular health check-ups is one of the major acceptance strategies.

② Reinsurance strategy

The risk of reinsurance contracts held to the Group is based on the accepted insurance contracts, which can be the total amount of risk or risk per contract on a per capita basis or per contract basis. In principle, the reinsurance method provides the risk premium excess reinsurance, but other methods may be used within the scope of the relevant laws as required. The degree of reinsurance held by the Group shall be determined by considering the Group's assets, contract conditions, risk level, and technology for selecting the contract.

Insurance risk can also be affected by the policyholder's right to terminate the contract or exercise annuity conversion rights to reduce or not pay the full premium. As a result, insurance risks may be affected by the policyholder's actions and decisions. The Group's insurance risk can be estimated on the assumption that the policyholder is reasonable. For example, a person who is worse than a person in good health would have less intention of terminating insurance that covers death. These factors are also reflected in the assumptions about the Group's insurance liabilities.

(b) Insurance risk management policy

i) Measurement of Insurance Risk

Unlike other financial instruments, life insurance companies' insurance policies have the characteristics of long-term contracts, which can be exposed to insurance risk that may arise due to an increase in actual claim payments than the risk rate determined at the time of development of the product and interest rate risk that may arise due to differences in interest rates and maturities between insurance liabilities and asset management.

The purpose of the Group’s risk management is to generate long-term stable growth and profits by proactively preventing and systematically managing the various risks that may arise in the course of management activities, reflecting these uncertain financial environments and the characteristics of life insurance products with long-term attributes.

The Group divides insurance risks arising from life insurance contracts into six sub-risks: death risk, longevity risk, disability/disease risk, cancellation risk, operating expense risk, and catastrophe risk. The risk amount for each sub-risk is measured on assets and liabilities that may directly or indirectly cause loss to the Group in the event of changes in actuarial assumptions, and is calculated based on the net asset value through the shock scenario method or risk coefficient method for each sub-risk.

The shock scenario method, one of the insurance risk measurement methods, is a method of calculating the amount of change in net asset value when applying a scenario in which the basic assumptions used for market valuation of assets or liabilities change. On the other hand, the risk coefficient method is a method that calculates the amount by multiplying a specific exposure by a specified risk coefficient, and is suitable for risk amounts that have short maturity or do not have large changes in net asset value during market valuation. In addition, the Group calculates the life insurance risk amount considering the diversification effect by adding the risk amount calculated for each sub-risk, reflecting the correlation coefficient between the sub-risks.

ii) Insurance risk management organization and management method

The Group measures the statutory minimum level of capital based on the life insurance risk amount and manages it within the allowable range. For this purpose, the Group establishes basic principles of risk management and establishes and implements regulations and management systems to implement them. In addition, the Group supports decision-making related to various risks through the Risk Management Committee and risk management organization, and prepare risk management procedures to identify and manage risks in a timely manner.

In general, risk management procedures are to recognize exposed risks, measure their size, set acceptable limits, monitor them regularly to report to management, and efficiently control and manage risks in case they exceed their limits.

Management methods by risk type are as follows:

① Insurance risk management

The Group develops insurance products with proper profitability by setting the profitability guidelines from the time of product development, establishes and operates the acceptance policy to prevent reverse selection, running the claim-screening policy to make claim payments.

② Interest rate risk management

The Group establishes a guideline and consider the market interest rate and asset management return rate to determine the published interest rate and expected interest rate within the guidelines. The Group also establishes the asset management strategy considering the interest rate level and maturity of liabilities; establishes a long-term target portfolio by comprehensively considering the risk level and rate of return of operating assets after analyzing the properties of long-term insurance liabilities, and sets a viable portfolio as a guideline every year to allocate and manage assets.

③ Liquidity risk management

The Group inspects and manages the amount of claims paid insurance and liquid assets periodically.

④ Equity price risk management

Equity price risk is managed in accordance with established management principles, including periodic forecasting, compliance with risk limits and investment limits, and the establishment and operation of appropriate portfolios. In addition, equity price risk is measured periodically and monitored by the risk management department, and the results are reported to management and the Risk Management Committee. Detailed information on equity price risk management is disclosed in Note 5 ‘Financial risk management.’

(c) Korean Insurance Capital Standard(K-ICS)

K-ICS is an equity capital system that precisely evaluates risk and financial soundness by evaluating the assets and liabilities of insurance companies to market so that they can be applied under the financial statements prepared in accordance with K-IFRS 1117 on insurance contracts. To maintain consistency in mark-to-market valuation and ensure consistency with international capital regulations, the supervisory authorities introduced K-ICS based on mark-to-market valuation, which improves the quality of insurance companies' capital by calculating available and required capital in line with economic substance. This is a system designed to encourage improvement and strengthen risk management.

With the introduction of K-ICS, the supervisory authorities have established standards for preparing a financial position statement based on soundness supervision standards to separately calculate assets and liabilities that meet the purpose of supervision and at the same time substantially reflect the risks of insurance companies. In the K-ICS, the available capital, or solvency amount, is measured based on the basic capital and supplementary capital classified by the loss absorption capacity of the net asset amount in the statement of financial position based on soundness supervision standards evaluated at market price, and there are some restrictions on loss compensation. Supplementary capital, defined as having, can be reflected in the solvency amount up to 50% of the required capital. In addition, the required capital under the K-ICS, that is, the solvency standard amount, refers to the amount of potential losses that may occur in the insurance company over the next year. Specifically, the K-ICS divides the risks exposed due to insurance contract underwriting and asset management into five risks: life and long-term non-life insurance risk, general non-life insurance risk, market risk, credit risk, and operational risk. Under the 99.5% confidence level, the solvency standard amount is required to be measured by calculating the maximum loss that can occur over the next year using the shock scenario method.

Under the K-ICS, the risk-based capital ratio is calculated by dividing the solvency amount by the solvency standard amount. If the insurance company's solvency ratio is less than 100%, it indicates that the solvency standard amount measured by the potential loss amount cannot be covered with capital, which means that the insurance company's capital soundness has become poor, and the supervisory authority must comply with the Regulations on Supervision of Insurance Business. Accordingly, insurance companies with a solvency ratio of less than 100% are required to take timely corrective actions such as management improvement recommendations, management improvement requests, or management improvement orders. As such, the new solvency system is a system in which the supervisory authorities seek to protect policyholders by supervising the capital adequacy and risk management capabilities of insurance companies.

(d) Financial risks related to insurance contracts

Investment contracts that include insurance contracts and discretionary participation feature may be exposed to financial risks although it is an insurance liability, and the form of exposure is as follows:

① Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk of loss resulting from the borrower's failure to repay a loan or meet contractual obligations. The Group's reinsurance assets are exposed to credit risk as assets that may incur losses if the reinsurer defaults at the time of receipt of the claims and receivables.

② Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk means the risk that arises when the Group's financial position fluctuates unfavorably due to the effect of interest rates on assets and liabilities. The Group manages matched assets and liabilities for each portfolio to minimize the impact of mismatches between assets and liabilities caused by interest rate fluctuations, thus reducing the risk.

③ Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that assets and liabilities are subject to inconsistency or failure to respond to unexpected cash outflows. Therefore, future cash outflows from investment contracts, including insurance liabilities which account for most of the Group's liabilities and discretionary participation features, are factors used to determine the level of risk associated with the Group's liquidity.

The purpose of the Group's management of liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient liquidity to prepare for repayments arising from insurance contracts under normal circumstances or when market shocks occur. The Group's main liquidity risk management methods are as follows:

- Regularly inspect and manage the amount of insurance payments and liquid assets

- Maintain and manage a portfolio comprised of assets that can be relatively easily liquidated in preparation for unexpected disruptions in financing.

- Monitoring liquidity ratios by running liquidity stress tests

- Establishment of asset liability management strategy considering insurance contract liability cash flow

④ Market risk

Market risk refers to the risk of loss arising when the Group's financial position fluctuates unfavorably due to adverse price fluctuations such as stock prices and exchange rates. The Group carries out insurance contract transactions denominated in foreign currencies and is therefore exposed to exchange rate fluctuations. Exposure to exchange rate fluctuations is managed through foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps between different currencies.

7. Capital risk management

In order to manage the required capital for maintaining solvency, the Group measures the risk-based capital in a manner required by the supervisory authority, manages it internally, and discloses it externally. The Group also manages risk appetite based on internal model.

The solvency margin ratio is a measure of financial soundness or ability to pay claims by a life insurer and is calculated by dividing solvency margin by solvency capital requirement, where the solvency margin is a measure of the extent to which the Group can fulfill its obligations to policyholders even in the event of an unexpected loss or decline in asset value and solvency capital requirement is the Group’s risk amount.

The Group manages the solvency margin ratio based on the consolidated financial statements and the supervisory authority requires insurance companies to maintain the solvency margin ratio at least 100%. If an insurance company fails to meet the solvency margin ratio requirement, the timely corrective measures shall be taken.

		Solvency margin ratio		Improvement measures
Management improvement recommendation		50% or above through less than 100%		Increase in equity, restriction on initiating new business, etc.
Management improvement request		0% or above through less than 50%		Request for replacement of executives, closure of subsidiaries, etc.
Management improvement order		Less than 0%		Suspension of executive officers from office, suspension of insurance business, etc.

The Group obtains approval on the management standards for the solvency margin ratio based on risk-based capital from the Risk Management Committee every year.

As of December 31, 2025, the Group complies with the solvency margin ratio required by the supervisory authority. In addition, based on the internal model, the Group monitors compliance with the limits for each risk type every month that are approved by the Risk Management Committee based on total risk limit approved by the board of director. At this time, the risk appetite is managed to be within 100%.

The Group also conducts stress testing by setting crisis scenarios for interest rates, stock prices, and exchange rates. The stress test is conducted on both the solvency margin ratio and the internal model. The Group establishes a capital management plan based on the results and report to the management as well as the Risk Management Committee at least once a year.

8. Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments traded in the active market is calculated based on the quoted price of the trading brokerage agency as of the end of the reporting period.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques or the results of the assessment by an independent external assessment agency. The Group utilizes various valuation techniques and makes reasonable assumptions based on current market conditions at the end of the reporting period.

The Group classifies the fair value of financial instruments into three fair value levels:

- Level 1 : Measurement of fair value based on the prices disclosed in the active trading market.
- Level 2 : Measurement of fair value by valuation technique based on market-observed information
- Level 3 : Measurement of fair value based on unobservable information in the market.

(a) Financial instruments measured at fair value (continued)

vi) Sensitivity analysis by variation of unobserved variables

If other input variables remain constant for the fair value of a financial instrument measured at fair value as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the effect of a significant but unobservable input variable fluctuating reasonably on the reporting date is as follows:

		2025
		Favorable change		Unfavorable change
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (*1)	W	7,060		(6,966)
Securities at fair value through other  comprehensive income (*1)		6,829		(5,965)
Derivative assets (*2)		24		(24)
	W	13,913		(12,955)

(*1) The changes in fair value is calculated by increasing or decreasing the major unobservable input variables, liquidation value (-1% to 1%) and discount rate (-1% to 1%).

(*2) The changes in fair value is calculated by increasing or decreasing the volatility (-1% to 1%), which is a major unobservable input variable.

		2024
		Favorable change		Unfavorable change
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (*1)	W	9,486		(9,249)
Securities at fair value through other  comprehensive income (*1)		7,132		(6,840)
Derivative assets (*2)		51		(47)
	W	16,669		(16,136)

(*1) The changes in fair value is calculated by increasing or decreasing the major unobservable input variables, liquidation value (-1% to 1%) and discount rate (-1% to 1%).

(*2) The changes in fair value is calculated by increasing or decreasing the volatility (-1% to 1%), which is a major unobservable input variable.

8. Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

(b) Financial instruments at amortized cost

i) The fair value calculation method for major financial instruments measured at amortized cost is as follows:

Classification		Fair value calculation method
Cash and due from bank		The carrying amount and fair value of cash is the same, and the fair value of due from bank at amortized cost is valued at the present value of the expected cash inflows.
Loans		The fair value of the loans is assessed as the present value of the expected cash flows expected to be received discounted at a discount rate taking into account the borrower's credit risk.
Securities		The fair value of the securities at amortized cost is assessed as the present value of expected cash flows expected to be received.
Other financial assets/liabilities		The carrying amount is used as a proxy for fair value because it is difficult to reliably estimate expected cash flows.
Investment contract liabilities		The accumulated pension benefits of the retirement pension contract holders, as defined by the Insurance Business Act and the Regulations on Supervision of Insurance Business, have been used as fair value proxies.
Borrowings/debentures		The fair value of borrowings/debentures is assessed by the present value of expected cash flows expected to be paid.

i) Financial instruments which do not meet the derecognition criteria

① Securities Lending Transactions

If the Group lends securities owned by itself, the ownership of the securities is transferred, but the Group must return the securities at the end of the loan period, so the Group continues to recognize the entire securities as it holds most of the risks and rewards of the securities. The carrying amount of securities lending as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

Classification				2025		2024

10. Material accounting estimates and judgments

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Group makes judgments about assumptions and assumptions about the future. These estimates and judgments are continually evaluated, taking into account other factors such as past experiences and future events that are reasonably predictable from the current situation. The accounting estimates calculated in this way may not match the actual results. The judgments on accounting estimates and assumptions that include significant risks that can materially change the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as of the reporting date are as follows:

(a) Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments (e.g., over-the-counter derivatives) that are not traded in an active trading market is determined using valuation techniques. As of the end of the reporting period, the Group makes judgments regarding the selection and assumptions of various valuation techniques based on major market conditions. When the valuation model is used to determine the fair value of various financial instruments that are not traded in the normal trading market, the Group uses a variety of methods from the general valuation model to the developed self-evaluation model, in which various input variables and assumptions are applied.

(b) Allowance for credit losses and provision for unused commitments

The Group assesses the impairment of the loan receivables and establishes provisions for bad debts and for unused commitment limits. The provision for such credit losses is determined by the assumptions and variables of the model used to estimate expected cash flows for each borrower to estimate the individual bad debt allowance and the collective bad debt allowance and unused commitment allowance.

(c) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group evaluates the existence of signs of impairment for all non-financial assets at the end of each reporting period. However, for intangible assets with indefinite useful life, the impairment test is conducted every year by comparing the recoverable amount and the carrying amount regardless of signs suggesting impairment. Other non-financial assets are being tested for impairment when there is an indication that the carrying amount will not be recoverable. To calculate the value-in-use, the management chooses an appropriate discount rate to estimate the expected future cash flows from the asset or cash-generating unit and calculate the present value of the expected future cash flows.

(d) Defined benefit obligation

The present value of defined benefit obligations may vary depending on various factors determined by actuarial methods that use many assumptions. The assumptions used to determine the net cost (benefit) of the pension include the discount rate, and changes in these assumptions will affect the carrying amount of the defined benefit obligation.

The Group determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. These discount rates represent the interest rates that should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to occur when the defined benefit obligation is settled. The Group determines the appropriate discount rate by considering the interest rate of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the pension will be paid and have maturity similar to that of the related defined benefit obligation.

Other major assumptions related to defined benefit obligations are based on some current market conditions.

10. Material accounting estimates and judgments (continued)

(e) Insurance contract liabilities and reinsurance contract assets (liabilities)

The Group calculates the present value of the future cash flows of the remaining benefit liabilities and incurred claims liabilities for measurement purposes. This involves estimating the neutral present value of future cash flows, considering the time value of money, adjusting for financial risks associated with future cash flows, and making risk adjustments for non-financial risks. The measurement of the present value of these cash flows is determined by estimating relevant market variables, assessing uncertainties regarding the amounts and timing of future cash flows, considering actuarial and economic assumptions, and other risks.

The number of coverage units in the group of insurance contracts is determined by considering the amount of benefit provided by contracts within the group the duration of expected coverage, the frequency and recurrence of the coverage risk for all coverage units allocated to the current period.

(c) As of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Group applied the following assumptions for estimating future cash flows for the contracts held, along with the basis for their determination.

Classification		2025		2024		Assumptions and measurement basis
Lapse ratio		0% ~ 66.77%		0% ~ 69.75%		- The ratio of lapsed contract amounts to the retained contract amounts, calculated based on statistics, by premium payment type, product group, interest rate category, payment term (zero/low-lapse-value insurance products), and duration. - For zero/low-lapse-value insurance products, the lapse ratio for the period when there is insufficient experience statistics is calculated, using the log-linear regression model, so that it converges to 0.1% at the time of completion of premium payments
Loss ratio		3.16% ~ 1,787.70%		8% ~ 316%		- Other than general mortality: the ratio of accident claims to insurance premiums to on-level risk insurance premiums by risk coverage and elapsed period based on the last five years' experience statistics - General mortality: the ratio of actual mortality rate to expected mortality rate by risk coverage and elapsed period based on the last five years' experience statistics
Operating expense ratio		-		-		- Calculate unit costs such as performance, agent commissions, number of new/retained contracts, initial/continuing premiums, reserve funds, etc. based on a business plan (budget) incorporating future expense policies based on recent experience statistics
Discount rate		2.79% ~ 4.59%		2.31% ~ 4.55%		- Disclosure standard interest rate term structure provided by the Financial Supervisory Service
The confidence level for the risk adjustments regarding non-financial risk		75%		75%		- The risk adjustment is calculated as the portion of 75th percentile exceeding the probability-weighted average of the present value of future cash flows, assuming that the probability distribution of the present value of future cash flows follows a normal distribution at each reporting date.

In accordance with the Regulations on Supervision of Insurance Business, when the allowance for credit losses in accordance with Korean IFRS falls short of the allowance for credit losses in accordance with the supervisory regulations, the Group is required to reserve the difference between the two as the regulatory reserve for loan losses in retained earnings. The regulatory reserve for loan losses is calculated by the difference between the total amount of credit loss provisions under Korean IFRS and the total amount of credit loss provisions under the supervisory regulations for each category of corporate loans, household loans, and real estate project financing loans. The regulatory reserve for loan losses is limited to the amount of retained earnings less reserves accumulated in accordance with the Insurance Business Act and other laws and regulations.

Adjusted income per share after the reserve for loan losses in won (*2)	W	4,329		4,484

(*1) The adjusted profit after reflecting the regulatory reserve for loan losses is not a figure determined by the accounting standards.

(*1) During the year ended December 31, 2025, the corporate income tax rate and the local income tax rate were revised as a result of amendments to the Corporate Tax Act and the Corporate Local Income Tax Act. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities expected to be realized after 2025 were measured using a tax rate of 27.5%.

(*2) The Group is applying the temporary exemption provision for deferred corporate tax under K-IFRS 1012, and therefore does not recognize deferred corporate tax assets and liabilities related to the Global Anti-Base Erosion Tax rules, nor does it disclose information related to deferred corporate tax.

(g) Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) Rules

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.
